Pṛthu Maharaja embodied the ruling power of the Lord, appearing in a time when the performance of sacrifices had been stopped by Vena, who prohibited the Brahmanas from performing sacrifices to Viṣnu.
Hare Krishna prabhu, thank you for this article. Your recommendation of living in the temple instead of the forest is troublesome to me. In the Temple you may find that there are politics within management and also day to day problems of runninng the place. Also the worst part is the constant influx of karmi visitors and women who can take our attention away from our Sadhana. In the forest there is minimal need to interact with other humans so I think it is better place to do our sadhana/bhakti yoga.
This is the general recommendation from Prabhupada. But if the current temple in your city does not offer good facilities, you can try another temple, or even start a new temple in a remote place where devotees can practice in peace. There are many good possibilities
