Untouchability

[Guest guest]

Dear Mohana Rao garu,

 

Love and Love alone....

 

While analysing any issue, it should be taken in totality and not in

a piecemeal way, because you see only one portion and the total

picture is not under your gaze.

 

As mentioned in my two learlier mails on this issue, Chapter IV and

Sloka 13 of Srimad Bhagavad Gita says very clearly that the Chatur

Varnas have been created on the basis of guna and karma alone and not

on any other basis. And our great sciptures are not for just one

period or one segment of the population. These sacared scriptures are

for eternity and every one on this earth. What is modern? The modern

man is not taking food as in the old, the modern man is not doing

various other things as the olders used to do. Where is the modern,

when the past is not there? Is it not a bye-product of old. Yes, say

there is sophistication. I agree, but do not be under the wrong

assumption and understanding that the sared scriptures are not longer

relevant to ths present-day society. Every word in our scriptures is

a great mantra, kindly realise this truth.

 

Kindly read Swami Vivekananda's books before coming our with any

argument.

 

Your argument is so lopsided that you like to highlight just one or

two incidents to colour the whole community or society. Your son

commits a mistake, do you make him to understand what the mistake is,

what are the consequences thereof and how to correct himself or just

throw him out of the house? Don't you see many people joining and

standing in the queue with the many other to have darshan of Gods and

Goddesses in many of our temples? Yes, it is still, unfortuntely,

true that it has not been totally eradicated in some corners of the

country, but that does it mean that you wish to close your eyes on

those, where there is tremendous progress and development. Where

appreciation is due, give it and where it is still hurting, let us

try to make changes so that the message goes clearly and resoundingly

to every one.

 

It clearly shows how biased your vews are when you said in your post,

and I quote, " I am sure this message of mine will not be published.

Still it is my duty to communicate. " And, now what do you say?

 

My sincere request and advice to you, whether you accept it or not,

is do not be onesided in your approach to any issue in life. Have

broader outlook, do your best and then learn to accept things as they

are. If you have the courage and strength to change, please do, but

do not attribute motives discreetly with a negative intention. If you

are positive, I am sure, the result would be positive, if not,

definitely not negative. But, if your intentions are negative, the

result would naturally be negative. Kindly note that.

 

Love and Love alone....

Dear Sirs:

 

varNASrama dharma might have suited some purposes in the past.

But in my opinion, it has no place in the modern world. Everyone is

entitled either to the study of Veda or to menial work. People born

in " higher " castes do not alwys follow higher ideals and people born

in " lower " castes do not have low ideals. That there are still

distinctions is true. In this age, can one imagine of temple

purification because someone entered it? This did happen in Guruvayur

recently. After all the daLitagOviMda movement of TTD is a sad

reflection that there are certain communities that find it difficult

to worship God, is it not? I am sure this message of mine will not be

published. Still it is my duty to communicate. I hope all the learned

members and moderators will discuss this.
