Guest guest Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Priya Sriman Sreenivasji! Jai Srimannarayana! We are trying to reply your questions there only. =chinnajeeyar= sreenivasa.kandalai <sreenivasa.kandalai <> Tuesday, November 06, 2001 10:32 AM Question Pujya Sri Swamiji, Pranamams. I am a true believer of EkO NaarayanO Hari:. There are couple of things I would like to know answers to. 1) The caste system: Was this is a god's creation or Human creation?? ANS: Caste is not created by God. In fact, God did not create the Souls. According to Ve:das, Souls, God and the Nature are eternal things. Souls are incapable of doing their own things, due to Karma.So God, out of compassion comes to serve and save the Souls from the bondage of Karma. In the process, Soul will be given a body that suits to experience the Karma. Those bodies have different features. Depending upon the features and activities to be done by those particular bodies, the rishies named those bodies and catogarized with different names. They became castes.Some people call them as castes and some others may call with some other name. Yet, they are neither out creation nor God's. Some people claim that God did that. It is simply to through blame on someone and escape from their own responsibilities. Or, they want some excuse to give away their own duties, which is wrong. If fact, we cannot see God. We can neither blame on Him, for our own deeds. Then the question is, ' why should we then worship Him at all?' It is not to remove them(our Karmas) or to keep up always in a mood of joy. Worshipping Him is only to give us strength to face the problem and go ahead with courage. Even God does this not because you are demanding Him or not even out of any obligation. He does it just purely out of causeless mercy. So, He treats and feels that we are His children. That is all. We are sure that your next two questions are replied in this itself. According to us, caste system will be there any way, all that we want is, that it should distribute the responsibility between people of the Society, but it should not split and ruin the Society. That it is not playing its role, not because it is bad, but because it is being handled by the people having biased ideas and selfish motivations. Jai Srimannarayana! =chinnajeeyar= ------------------- 2) What is your view about the caste system?? 3) If all of the people are children of god then why do we differ them with caste??
