a servant follows a master. If the master starts, the servant follows.
The Lord says, ksipram dharma:

A nun in Warsaw, Poland, filed a case against ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness). The case came up in court.

The nun remarked that ISKCON was spreading its activities and gaining followers in Poland. She wanted ISKCON banned because its followers were glorifying a character called Krishna “who had loose morals,” having married 16,000 women called Gopikas.

The ISKCON defendant to the Judge: “Please ask the nun to repeat the oath she took when she was ordained as a nun.”

The Jud

We should never think of our so-called advancement as being conditioned by or dependent upon some set of material circumstances such as marriage, vanaprastha, or this or that. Mature understanding of Krsna consciousness means that whatever condition of life I am in at present, that is Krsna's special mercy upon me, therefore let me take advantage in the best way possible to spread this Krsna consciousness movement and conduct my spiritual master's mission.

Referring to the Indian government's program of enforced sterilization being imposed on the general population, Prabhupada said, "Now they're making propaganda for sterilization. And if we advise make a brahmacari-asrama from the beginning, they will not take. 'What is this nonsense, brahmacari?'"

Story of Lord Krishna - SRIMAD BHAGAVATA by Krsna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

Akrura’s Vision

1. Having been honored so much by Lord Balarama and Lord Krsna, Akrura, seated comfortably on a couch, felt that all the desires he had contemplated on the road were now fulfilled.

2. What is unattainable for one who has satisfied the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the shelter of the goddess of fortune? Even so, those who are dedicated to His devotional service never want anything from Him.

3. After the evening meal,

Prabhupada: ...of Europe and America, everywhere. You know who are mudhas?

Tripurari: Yes Srila Prabhupada.

Prabhupada: Who?

Tripurari: Fools and rascals who won't take your books. Sometimes we convince them that the philosophy is very nice, and they agree when we use Lord Krsna's words, dehino 'smin yatha dehe [Bg. 2.13], and they say "Yes, I can understand that, but I don't need your book," or"I would never read it."
