Mahabharata Vanaparva (was varna system)

[Guest guest]

Namaste SrI Raj-ji and SrI Michael-ji,

 

 

There is a good discussion between Yudhishthira and Nahusha in the

mahAbhArata vanaparva (if my memory is right) on this topic. I dont

have the reference with me right now, but I can search and give it to

you in case you want. Please read it to know the other side of the

coin. Thanks.

 

Also, please note the gIta statement that the wise person would not

discriminate between a brAhmaNa, a dog and a dog-eater.

 

PS: I think the mahAbhArata is given a higher status among smRtis. I

could be wrong though. Also, I am not an apologist, just in case you

may be thinking so.

 

 

Regards

Raghavendra
