There was a challenge by one GBC man, when Narayana Maharaja said Srila Prabhupada attempted to translate all the books of our acaryas. This person stated Srila Prabhupadas main  focus was Varna asrama , this is however was secondary Srila Prabhupadas focus was to translate all the books of the acaryas.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMIqO9bt4tw&feature=relmfu   Yes Varna asrama also: Bhagavad-gita 4.13:   catur-varnyam maya srstam / guna-karma-vibhagasah  tasya kartaram api mam / viddhy akartaram avyayam Translation: According to the three modes of material nature and the work associated with them, the four divisions of human society are created by Me. And although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the nondoer, being unchangeable.   Purport: The Lord is the creator of everything. Everything is born of Him, everything is sustained by Him, and everything, after annihilation, rests in Him. He is therefore the creator of the four divisions of the social order, beginning with the intelligent class of men, technically called brahmanas due to their being situated in the mode of goodness. Next is the administrative class, technically called the ksatriyas due to their being situated in the mode of passion. The mercantile men, called the vaisyas, are situated in the mixed modes of passion and ignorance, and the sudras, or laborer class, are situated in the ignorant mode of material nature.   “Brahmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras are distinguished by the qualities born of their own natures in accordance with the material modes, O chastiser of the enemy.” (BG 18.41)   “If one shows the symptoms of being a brahmana, ksatriya, vaisya or sudra, as described above, even if he has appeared in a different class, he should be accepted according to those symptoms of classification.” (SB 7.11.35)   The task of the brahmana is to study and advise, the ksatriya to protect, the vaisya to cultivate, and the sudra to serve. (BG 18.42-44) Those who do not fit into the varnasrama system – like aborigines – are considered avarna (classless).

  But the way ISKCON wants to set up Varna asrama is just to make money of everyone without benefitting anyone but the leaders of ISKCON, such Varna asrama attempts are simply nonsense.Just educate everyone to follow strictly the 4 regs and chant 16 rounds minimum, do Harinama and distribute Srila Prabhupadas books, and devotees should read and live by them. All these other things will be having nothing to do with spreading the sankirtana movement. We see all ISKCON farm communities have failed in the establishing Varna asrama, even to get someone to attend the morning programs and chant 16 rounds is difficult, what to speak of them doing Harinama and bookdistribution.   The proscess of Saranagati is important, this varna asrama attempts is simply another failed scheme to defraud innocent ISKCON devotees of their talents and money . The real use of talents is:   krsna varnam tvisa krsnam  sangopangastra parsadam  yajnaih sankirtanam-prayair  yajanti hi sumedhasah "In the age of Kali, Krsna appears in a golden form, chanting the two syllables krs-na. He descends along with His weapons, saktis, limbs, and eternal confidential associates. Those with intelligence worship Him with the sankirtana yajna. (1) (Srimad Bhagavatam 11.5.32)

  The proscess is to worship Lord Caitanya through the sankirtana yagna:         dhyeyam sada paribhava-ghnam abhista-doham  tirthaspadam siva-virinci-nutam saranyam  bhrtyarti-ham pranata-pala bhavabdhi-potam  vande maha-purusa te caranaravindam We offer our respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of Him, the Lord, upon whom one should always meditate. He destroys insults to His devotees. He removes the distresses of His devotees and satisfies their desires. He, the abode of all holy places and the shelter of all sages, is worshipable by Lord Siva and Lord Brahma. He is the boat of the demigods for crossing the ocean of birth and death. (Srimad Bhagavatam. 11.5.33)   tyaktva sudustyaja-surepsita-rajya-laksmim  dharmistha arya-vacasa yad agad aranyam  maya-mrgam dayitayepsitam anvadhavad  vande maha-purusa te caranaravindam "We offer our respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of the Lord, upon whom one should always meditate. He left His householder life, leaving aside His eternal consort, whom even the denizens of heaven adore. He went into the forest to deliver the fallen souls, who are put into illusion by material energy." (Srimad Bhagavatam. 11.5.34)  

ittham nr-tiryag-rsi-deva-jhasavatarair  lokan vibhavayasi hamsi jagat-pratipan  dharmam maha-purusa pasi yuganuvrttam  channah kalau yad abhavas tri-yugo ’tha sa tvam "My Lord, You kill all the enemies of the world in Your multifarious incarnations in the families of men, animals, demigods, rsis, aquatics and so on. Thus You illuminate the worlds with transcendental knowledge. In the Age of Kali, O Mahapurusa, You sometimes appear in a covered incarnation. Therefore You are known as Tri-yuga [one who appears in only three yugas]." (Srimad Bhagavatam. 7.9.38)

    Srila Prabhupada has made it very clear that his mission was to spread transcendental knowledge.There should be no doubts.Varna asrama is simply to convince someone to give up illicit sex, but if even sannyasis and GBC persons fails to follow this then there is no Varna asrama.It is a joke so many persons get divorced, then take sannyasa and marry again.And then they will lead seminars on Varna asrama? The focus should be attend all programes in the temple and follow strictly 4 regs and so on Srila Prabhupada stated that those who do not are not his real followers...disciple means discipline... Discipline means also stop comforting in the temple and do Harinama and bookdistribution....

  "In Kali-yuga, irreligiosity replaces religion. People reject the rules of Varnasrama-dharma. Under the dense darkness of Kali, everyone becomes sinful and addicted to irreligious acts.
