Guest guest Posted October 10, 2000 Report Share Posted October 10, 2000 Dear friends Krishna cleary states in Gita that the four orders of the society (brahmin,kstriya,vaisya and sudra)were created by me,so i think we have to strictly adhere to varnashrama dharma as the caste system was laid by him I personally feel that marrying somebody outside one's varna is a sin because we are breakin the order created by him.Elders correct me if iam wrong in my thinking. Regarding castes in vaishnavism there is popular belief that ramanuja converted people belonging to different varna into Brahmins.Is is true? Did he convert people of different varnas into brahmins or vaishnavas. Regarding the usage of term Vaishnava ,anybody regardless of varna who leads a moral life ,with clean habits and one who has undergone samashraynam and is devotee of Naryana can be called a Vaishnava.Am i right?
