Guest guest Posted May 10, 1999 Report Share Posted May 10, 1999 Dear Bhagavathas, Another way of looking at who is how much Brahmin is as per Lord Krishna in the Gita (Ch 18, Verses 42-22). The basic characteristics of the four castes are given in these verses. This definition is more fundamental and universal. Brahmin: Tranquiliy Restraint Austerity Purity Patience Uprightness Knowledge Discrimination Religious faith Kshatriya: Heroism Majesty Firmness Skill Not fleeing in battle Generosity Lordly spirit Vaishya: Plowing cow-herding Trade Sudra: Service Rarely we will find individuals who are 100% this or that. In a given society, people with higher %Sudra trait (Service category people) are most numerous followed by Vaishyas, Kshatriys and Brahmanas.
