The purpose of the Varnasrama social system is to provide a structure allowing people to work according to their natural tendencies and to organize society so that everyone, regardless of their position, makes spiritual advancement. Human culture does not begin unless one takes to the principles of Varnasrama-dharma. If this system is properly implemented, the result will be peace and prosperity all over the world.

This system is a natural organized division of society that would lead to the satisfaction of its members. In Varnasrama society, all members are important and interdependent. Varnasrama recognizes the natural talents and abilities of each person and provides work according to a person’s qualities. The divisions of society consist of four social orders and four spiritual orders which are perfectly organized to allow people to live peacefully and pursue spiritual life while engaged in their regular occupation.

The four orders of social life are scientifically arranged for the material progress of society, and the four spiritual orders are designed for natural progress in self-realization. By following the principles of Varnasrama-dharma, one develops transcendental qualities and attains a better position in the material world. By following this system, the civilized human being can successfully perform the human mission of transcending the animal propensities of eating, sleeping, mating, and defending.

The Varnasrama religion’s principles were so designed that the good population would prevail in society for the general spiritual progress of the state and community. To maintain proper social order and help the citizens gradually progress in spiritual understanding, the principles of Varnasrama-dharma must be accepted. Because this system is created by God, it will always exist, either in degraded form or in original form; it cannot be extinguished. If we do not take to the principles of Varnasrama-dharma, by accepting the four social orders and the four spiritual orders, there can be no question of success in life.
