It is the duty of the public to present a gift to a saintly person, Vaiᚣášava or brÄhmaáša when going to see him. Every Vaiᚣášava is dependent on KášášŁáša, and KášášŁáša is ready to supply all of lifeâs necessities, provided a Vaiᚣášava follows the principles set forth by the spiritual master. There are certainly many householders in our KášášŁáša consciousness movement. They join the movement and live in the societyâs centers, but if they take advantage of this opportunity and do not work but live at the expense of the movement, eating prasÄdam and simply sleeping, they place themselves in a very dangerous position. It is therefore advised that gášhasthas should not live in the temple. They must live outside the temple and maintain themselves. Of course, if the gášhasthas are fully engaged in the Lordâs service according to the directions of the authorities, there is no harm in their living in a temple. In any case, a temple should not be a place to eat and sleep. A temple manager should be very careful about these things.
