Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 -Hari-Om Cutting off the Head is not the cure for headache. Headache is not an illness, it is a warning signal; it is only a symptom of another very serious problem and hence the remedy is to treat the root cause; the Jati/Caste system. " To be born a Hindu in India is to enter the caste system, one of the world's longest survival forms of social stratification. Embedded in Indian culture for the past 1,500 years, the caste system follows a basic precept: ALL MEN ARE CREATED UNEQUAL. The ranks in Hindu society comes from a legend in which the main groupings, or varnas, emerge from a primordial being. From the mouth come the Brahmans-the priests and teachers. From the arms come the Kshatriyas-the rulers and soldiers. From the thighs come the Vaisyas-merchants and traders. From the feet come the Sudras-laborers. Each varna in turn contains hundreds of hereditary castes and subcastes with their own pecking order. A fifth group describes the people who are achuta, or untouchable. The primordial being does not claim them. Untouchables are outcasts-people considered too impure, too polluted, to rank as worthy beings. Prejudice defines their lives, particularly in the rural areas. " All this in the name of the Almighty. In the devotional service of Bhagavan Shree Krishna ! Jai Shree Krishna !
