	~~INTRODUCTION TEXT TO BE WRITTEN~~		Unless there is control over our mind, it will dictate us to try something new: "Do like this." A Bengali poet has sung a song, ek ta nūtana kichu koro: "Do something new." This is the mind's business. He is not satisfied with old things. Nūtana kichu koro. The whole material world is like that. Ei nūtana kichu koro: "Do something new," and become implicated. We are not satisfied with old things.

An introduction from his books is given below in the following ~~NUMBER~~ quotes.		There is an English proverb - "yielding to the new." But the Vedic civilization is "Do not try to invent some new order. That will create disturbance. Be satisfied with whatever you have got by nature's way, be satisfied. Don't spoil your time. Save time for Kṛṣṇa consciousness." That is Vedic civilization. That is the purpose of valuable life. The whole purpose of following Vedic civilization is to understand Kṛṣṇa. Vedic civilization is natural life. It offers us all the knowledge from the śāstras and does not recommend that one wastes their valuable life engaged in material happenings and instead encourages one's spiritual advancement.

But when this vāmana-rūpa appeared in the form of a vaṭu, or brahmacārī, His sacred thread ceremony was also performed immediately. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 8.18.13)'''}}

			{{VaniQuotebox\|As far as we, the followers of Vedic civilization, are concerned, we accept the Vedic history of the whole universe, which consists of different planetary systems\|There are various classes of men in the world who speak of God in different ways, but according to the Vedic literatures and according to the great ācāryas, the authorized persons versed in the knowledge of God in all ages, like ācāryas Śaṅkara, Rāmānuja, Madhva, Viṣṇu Svāmī, Lord Caitanya and all their followers by disciplic succession, all unanimously agree that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

This knowledge is in the śāstras, and people should be given the opportunity to understand it. Even if one is not able to go back to Godhead in one life, the Vedic civilization at least gives one the opportunity to be promoted to the higher planetary systems, where the demigods live, and not glide down again to animal life. '''(Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Ādi-līlā 9.43)'''}}

Then, if they are satisfied with their mutual dealings, good children are born. In this way the entire world can become peaceful, but unfortunately in this age of Kali there are no ideal husbands and wives; therefore unwanted children are produced, and there is no peace and prosperity in the present-day world. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.1.6)'''}}

	{{VaniQuotebox\|~~VANIQUOTESPAGETITLE~~\|~~QUOTESEENBYTHEREADER~~.

After the period of brahmacarya, a man accepts a householder's life, and the woman is also taught by her parents to be a chaste wife. Thus when a girl and boy are united, both are trained for a life dedicated to a higher purpose. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.23.20)'''}}

Thus the Vedic civilization recommends opulence and decoration with these natural gifts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Such opulence immediately changes the condition of the mind, and the entire atmosphere becomes spiritualized. King Pṛthu's capital was decorated with such highly opulent decorations. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 4.21.1)'''}}
