Entering the grihasta ashram is not just for sense enjoyment, but it is to have a son like Dhruva Maharaja, a son like Bhaktisiddanta Prabhupada, a son like our Prabhupada so that you can also be transferred to the kingdom of God. It is very important. You should train your children, especially if you have a son it is your duty to train your son to be a perfect brahmacari from the very childhood.
