Charity, Samskaras...

Verse 1.12.14 (Krishna Patro Pr):
* First thing mentioned about is the purificatory processes, samskaras. For human birth etc, these samskaras are done.
* As soon as the navel pipe is cut to make the mother and child a separate body, then the samskara of jatakarman is done.
* This process is such that it will deliver the child so that the child will be able to cut away from the cycle of birth and death.
* Next point is Charity done with the proper knowledge of where, how and when. The brahmanas are the right class for receiving charity, just based on their spiritual enlightenment level. The head of the body is very important, so to take care of them is imp for society. If their needs are fulfilled, then they can study the sastras and educate the rest of the society.
* Concept of daridra narayana is no where mentioned in the sastras.
* This KC movement is creating so many brahmanas, due to the Srila Prabhupada's work. Also, grhasthas in this movement also have a big responsibility that they should serve in such a way that more people become Krishna conscious.
