We should all agree on this conference that when we say varnasrama we are only speaking of daiva varnasrama-dharma - devotional varnasrama-dharma. And that we are not at all interested in the caste system or "traditional VAD" which is sometimes referred to. It would lessen the typing too! Thanks Mother Hare Krsna. Hari!
