[Guest guest]

dear Mr. John

i am very happy to know your keen desire to do the abhisekam to Devi Raja

Rajeshwari and i should think that you are extremely lucky to get this thought

by the will of the Divine Mother.

The Mother can be worshiped by people irrespective of caste, colour, creed or

race.HER consciousness dwells evrywhere and in every being both living and non

living as well and there is nothing in this universe other than HER.

To summarise i am giving you an example from a book containg more than 53 rare

slokas (highly potyent prayers from scriptures to mother ) on SAKTAM published

by Sastha Publications -- Madras which has been dedicated to a FRENCH MOTHER.

Let us find out who is that.

News item from "THE HINDU" -- India's leading daily.

A MOTHER"S INTERMINABLE PATIENCE

LONL-LE-SAUNIER (France) April 24, 1978

A woman who has spent the past 22 years taking care of the camotose son was

decorated here on Sunday with the French National Order of Merit.

Mrs. Marie Balay, whose 42 year old son,Paul, went into coma after being hit by

a car after a village dance when he was reaffirmed her opposition to euthanasia

and her conviction that her son will one day regain consciousness. --AFP

Mr. JOHN -- This is really the MOTHER"S WORSHIP AND THE SANATANA DHARMA AND NOT

WHAT YOU KNOW IT .

Regards

When someone from an alien culture comes and asks this

question, this can only arise from deep love for the

MOTHER. When someone has managed to evade gross

materialism, promiscuity, (widely prevalent in the

west) and has come to Devi's feet, no one should send

him away say this is against age-old

tradition..blah,bhah.

 

The caste system has no relevance today-it is a great

evil that has kept out the majority of people out of

the joys of a religious life(this is not just my

opinion, a lot of modern day saints say this).

Somebody pointed out the sloka from the BG, saying one

should not follow anothers dharma- this is absolutely

in the wrong context- how many brahmins today follow

the dharma of a brahmin. In the old days when brahmins

lived a life of utter piety, they had to beg for alms

to make a living because wealth was considered an

anathema for people who turn Godward....; today there

are few real brahmins, most of those who claim are in

essence sudras.

 

Another pointed out that great saints who were Sudras;

does not anyone know of Bhishma's injunction to

Yudhistra in the Santiparva of the Mahabharata that

character alone constitutes brahminhood, birth is

immaterial.

 

So John, I do not see any reason whatsoever as to why

you cannot do abhisekam since you appear to be a

brahmin in the truest sense of the word.
