[admin]:Caste and Social Justice

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

In the last few days there has been active discussion

on the topic of caste and social justice. A discussion on caste

ought to really be part of a broader discussion on VarnAshrama

Dharma. Given the fact that a society based on varnAshrama hardly

exists today, it seems to me that much of the present discussion on

the classification and duties of different people is academic in

nature. For the spiritual aspirant, the essential question is this:

What is dharma, and how do I practice it? This is precisely the

question that ought to be put at the feet of the present day

AachAryAs. It is my opinion that many of our questions will be

resolved in the process.

 

This issue has been previously discussed in this forum, and

hence I invite members to peruse the archival postings on this topic

before adding to the present conversation. Further, unless members

have new insights on this sensitive topic, I suggest that the

discussion be taken off-line.
