So grhesu saktasya. Generally, people become too much attached
to family life. I sometimes say that in the Western countries the
young boys, they come to Krsna consciousness, their only one great
asset is they are not family-wise attached. That is very good
qualification. Someway or other, they have become. Therefore their
attachment to Krsna becoming staunch. In India they have got organized
family attachment. They are not interested. They are after money now.
That I have experienced. Yes.

 So family attachment is the greatest impediment in the matter of
advancing in Krsna consciousness, but if the whole family is Krsna
conscious, that is very nice. Just like Bhaktivinoda Thakura. He was a
family man, but all of the, Bhaktivinoda Thakura, his wife, his
children–and the best children is our Guru Maharaja, best child… So
he has sung by his experience, ye dina grhe bhajana dekhi grhete
goloka bhaya. If family-wise, everyone is engaged in Krsna’s service,
that is very nice. That is not ordinary family. That attachment is not
ordinary attachment. But generally people are attached materially.
That is condemned here. ….
