Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Dear Rajen Babu Garu, Love and Love alone.... I agree with you. But, let me also clarify that the caste system is a recent development. There is no caste system in Hinduism. We have only Varna Vyavastha and that has been clearly stated even in Srimad Bhagavad Gita. I have explained this in my earlier posts in TBP. Unfortunately, the caste system is eating into the roots of our Hindu Dharma and dividing people on caste-llines, the recent development was the agitation by a particular caste in Rajasthan for SC status. It is painful, but now it looks it will stay on and on, till we do not open our eyes and simply throw out those who talk about castes, especailly in the political set up. These politicians are just exploiting the gullible villagers and even the educated ones on caste and minority lines. It is really sad. It requires tremendous sacrifice by every one, whether it is forward caste, backward caste or scheduled caste. I sincerely and fervently hope that sooner than later, my dream of seeing caste-less society in India comes true. Till then, it is always advisable not to raise any issue that disturbs this delicate balance in the soceity. Love and Love alone.... P.

Lord Ramanuja did the same thing by climbing atop of the temple gopuram to spread the mantra given by his guru and when guru questioned him, he said the he can alone will go to hell and all others will go to heaven. why not we be broadminded and we restrict these things to one caste and that's the reason we are suffering with loss of valuable knowledge of our forefathers.by propagating we are getting our hinduism strengthened and respected. let us leave our small and selfish minds and try to spread our knowledge to all so as to protect hinduism. no rishi is in this country is a brahmin and no God incarnated personalities are Brahmins but we discriminate. why? definitely it is not created by God. we, for our selfish reasons adopted all these things and broken the varnas, which was made on the basis of individual profession but not by birth. let us be broad at least now on wards to propagate sanskrit language so as that people can appreciate us. with warm regards rajen babu drgsssastry <drgsssastry wrote: SRI MAATRE NAMAHA Bharatavarsha (India ) is a 'Karmabhumi'. This is the land to perform 'karma' by which Gods shall be happy and be prepared to shower good on all of us. For that every one must be prepared. Purity is the minimum requirement. Gayatri mantra shall give purity along with wisdom. For that Thread marriage ('UPANANAYANAM') is cumpulsury for brahmins and other specified communities to get Gayatri mantra from their fathers or equalents. Mantra gayatri shall be utilised by them after 'upanayanam' only. It is not possible and not practicable to other communities to get 'upanayanam'. They are also eligible to chant the Tantra gayatri insted of mantra gayatri without UPANAYANAM. The Tantra Gayatri Mantra " Yo devaha savitaa asmaakam Dhiyo Dharmaadhi gocharaha prerayettasya bhargasya tadvarenya mupaasmahe " 'The SUN God is inspiring our minds and 'Dharma ' when we are seeing him like wise. We are worshipping such BHARGA to inspire our mind and Dharma likw wise for ever' The above TANTRA GAYATRI is having equal value and equal power with MANTRA GAYATRI. GAYATRI means the 'Gaanaat trayata iti Gayatri' Goddess who protects by chanting.
