Guru Maharaj: Well there is no loss for the parents. But as Srila Bhaktisiddanta Saraswati Thakur said, if every child could be a devotee, he would be a grihasta and have a hundred children. There is no guarantee, you can try your best and hopefully they will become devotees. I advise you to pray to the deities to have a Krishna conscious child, Krishna conscious, healthy, long lived, suputra. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura had one child who was His Divine Grace Bhaktisiddanta Saraswati Prabhupada Thakura. He had another child who was a lifelong brahmacari – Lalit Thakura. I think all of his children were devotees, I don’t know about the other ones.
