These children are given to us by Krishna, they are Vaisnavas and we must be very careful to protect them and we are very fortunate we can give them chance to advance further in Krishna Consciousness. That is very great responsibility, do not neglect it or be confused. Your duty is very clear. - Srila PrabhupadaChild should not be forced. This is all nonsense. Who has devised these things? If we want them to become great devotees, then we must educate the children with love, not in a negative way." - Srila Prabhupada
