Guest guest Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai Dear Bhakta Ananda Gosvami: The article you reference is very nice as a study comparing similarities in other cultures to ancient Vedic or Aryan origins. It appeared very scholarly, well researched and eloquently presented, though I am a layman on such matters having no formal education on Greek history or English composition. But on the matter of studying Srila Prabhupada's vani and ascertaining the correct siddhanta by taking in all his recorded vani on any subject Prabhupada covers, I conceder myself well aquatinted with him and wholly embrace his dream for the Krsna Consciousness movement concerning Daivi-Varnasrama-Dharma. I saw no vani or siddhanta as it would directly apply to Prabhupada's movement contained in your response to my question. Yes, you used what you learned from Srila Prabhupada and through study of this ancient Greek history can show the root culture coming from Vedic times, but where is the siddhanta attained from the instructions of the spiritual master? This is the question. Though I did enjoy your paper as a comparison, it is no better than trivia in light with Srila Prabhupada's vani for ISKCON to embrace DVD and the regulative principles contained there in. This is the siddhanta question, what is your understanding of these instructions? I have a problem or question with the assumption that just because a person is in one of the fields you mention that they are automatically included as qualified ksatriyas by Vedic standards. This is not by guna(quality) and karma(work). I was in the army and I have to say 99.9% of the personnel are sudra and less by habit and personal character or lack there of. No were near ksatriya. Push button military and war perpetuated by the greedy vaisya class. Supported by voted in legislators from the mleccha and candala population of a country emulating a demoncracy form of government bent on fascistic enslavement of the world. Gunda, mindless violent servant to corrupt leadership. As are the police forces. soldiers, search-and-rescue, police, > prison guards, border patrol, firefighters, EMTs, hazmat responders/ > bomb squads, undercover agents/ intelligence officers, security > officers, etc. This is not a list of ksatriyas. Undercover agents/intelligence officers are of the spy category and not of King/ksatriya character. They are assistants, information givers, sudras that are overtly underhanded and sneaky by profession, dishonest. Security officers are also in the less intelligent mode, another name for gaurd/patrol person. EMT are vaidya, physicians and said in the Caitanya Caritamrta to be sudra, Adi 17.18p. Hasmat is technical reaction to a given occurrence of contamination to an environment, technician, sudra. Border patrol is again servant to the higher class ksatriya order and has no ability by dint of his work to claim the intellectual qualifications of that higher varna. Ditto to prison guards, so many prisoners would be killed anyway because of the Bhagavad-Gita Ch 1 text 36, six aggressors are to be killed at once. This killing is the job of a ksatriya not a guard. Though guarding prisoners is under the ksatriya, execution of that activity will not need be done necessarily by ksatriyas, the cadre can do it effectively. Police, firefighters and military are the closest but still not necessarily by occupation do they have the ability(guna) to lead a Vedic nation like Srila Prabhupada envisions nor do you speak of such lofty goals like Srila Prabhupada does. You said: Our 'significant others', wives and children also need the support of a Vaishnava community that understands their military or intervention-driven 'on-duty' called-up-to-serve lifestyle. I hope that 'significant others' does not include homosex. Srila Prabhupada says that homosex is less that Aryan, that even sudra has charter and some qualification. He never accepted homosex to be in Vedic society nor ISKCON proper. All that have fallen to this abominable act are outside of Vedic culture by dint of the vani of Srila Prabhupada. Prabhupada initiated reformed people only. Not those that acted in nor actively identified themselves with homosex. This is rejected over and over. Show evidence to the contrary from recorded vani to contest. The rest is very nicely explained. You said: Among devotees in the Hare Krishna Movement, there are persons of the kshatriya nature. Srila Prabhupada did not say 'keep them out !' No. Srila Prabhupada said "establish varnashram dharma". Well, actually the movement in the beginning was to be a movement of Brahmans that would lead the rest of society. Then Prabhupada saw that the devotees were unable to over come their natures and were falling from that asrama and materially managing horribly. In 1974 on March 12 in Vrndavana Prabhupada said to include DVD inside ISKCON and gave a wealth of instructions in the next week and later years that followed as an outline that was subsequently checked, restrained, constrained and suppressed for many more years and not followed. Disqualifying the less than stelar brahminical representatives inside and outside the movement through complete neglect of the vani or guilt of administering poison vani to the average devotee counterfeiting the mood, falsifying information and distorted repression. The rest of your letter I found inspiring that someone may know and understand the need and application of the ksatriya in present day society at large to begin turning the social heading on a Vedic course in line with the instructions of Krsna through the spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada. These are just some questions I would like answered or ideas discuss in order to know with who I am speaking and associating with by e-mail. Please do not mind, as a ksatriya we over see all four varnas and asramas. Though we do not govern the brahmans, we must make sure they are acting in accordance with Guru, sastra and sadu honestly and are not cheaters. This is one of our leadership duties that takes a great deal of faithful study and is beyond the ability of a common guard or technician or mindless gunda drone that is just there deriving pleasure from giving pain to others furthering the dominating demoniac agenda of social corruption and atheistic degradation. Thank you, Hare Krsna. Caturbahu dasa Bhakti PS. Also I am concerned about your apparent personal attachment or identification to the ksatriya varna. Evidentially using possessive language although claiming the varna of a Brahmana and the asrama of sannyasa. Please explain. vediculture, Bhakti Ananda Goswami wrote: > http://66.216.3.167/columns/one/purusha.htm > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
