One does NOT become a Brahmin by Birth alone
by Tathagata Mukherjee on Oct 18, 2007 07:48 AM   Permalink | Hide replies


"One does NOT become a Brahmin by Birth alone.
One becomes a Brahmin by his actions (Karma)alone."

Gautama Buddha spoke thus some 2500 years back.

So spoke the Gita, Adi Sankara to Sri Chaitanyadev to Swami Vivekanand to innumerable Hindu saints, leaders in history.

Psuedos followed British polemic, started creating Caste to divide people and rule.

WE HAD SOME 2500 CASTES IN 1951/2. NOW WE HAVE CLOSE TO 5500 CASTES.

This politicalization of caste to grab power, even creating caste is th biggest dis-service to Indian national fredom struggle and its spirit.

ALAS, CONGRESS TODAY IS MORE INTERESTED ON CASTE IN FORTH COMING GUJARAT THAN ITS SUPPOSED POLEMIC OF "JUSTICE TO MUSLIMS".

HINDUS ARE DELIBERATELY BEING DIVIDED ALONG CASTE BY PSUEDO_SECULAR POLITICIANS, WHO THEN ARE RALLYING MUSLIMS/XTIANS IN THE NAME OF SECULARISM.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING MY DEAR.... BRITISH ARE THE FOUNDERS OF CASTE SYSTEM ??? THIS IS THE PEAK OF COMEDY >>>>>>
Ha Ha h ah I can' t stop laughing..
According to the Hindu Scriptures
1) Brahmin is created from Brain of god
2) Kshatriya is created from Chest of god
3) Vysya is created from stomach of god
4) Shudra is created from Feet of god...

What a Pity, now you want to hide the scriptures... What a Joke,,,
The caste system is the main reason why people are not convinced about Hinduism, whatever you can say it doesnt have the magnetism to attract people, that's why People are leaving Hinduism in Big Numbers...........

Dear Friend Gladiator,

If you don't have complete knowledge than don't put your point in forms.

I agree with your...
According to the Hindu Scriptures
1) Brahmin is created from Brain of god
2) Kshatriya is created from Chest of god
3) Vysya is created from stomach of god
4) Shudra is created from Feet of god

But Hindu god always says it is part of one body and they all are equally important. So respect them.

Do you got my point.

If you pick any Hindu literature you will find god itself have shared food, cloths etc... with all above mentioned people.

God has always said and author of article has repeated once more time that "cite tirelessly the Bhagvad Gita, the Upanishads, the Vedas and a hundred other scriptures and spiritual poets to prove untouchability was never a part of Hindu Dharma and God doesn't approve of discrimination based on birth and occupation. Fair indeed."

So updated your knowledge before commenting anything on forms.

And can you give show me one person who left Hinduism and got converted to another religion.

I can give reverse example..
Go to Iskon temple and you will find all foreigners%u2019 praying for God Shri Krishna with folded hands.

Go to Mahadev temple you will find all caste people and every Indian who believe there is God(Bhagvan or Allah).

Go to Navarati festival in all over the world you will find black, brown, white, irish, etc are participating in Navarati festival.

So in future don't Pity or

So in future don't Pity or Comment that people are leaving Hinduism or are getting converted. Those to get converted must be due to their personal benefit.

Dear Sri Gladiator,
Hinduism is the only relegion by default,it is a way of life. Hinduism upholds "Vasudeva Kutumbakam" in other words universal brotherhood.We hindus believe that we take birth as brahmin,shudra etc. based on our purva janma karma phala,yet we remain the children of the same God.Hinduism says,Daivam Manusha Roopena,in other words you can see God in every human being (or for that matter, in every matter)

I suggest that you should understand Hinduism before making a comment.

Let God bless you and let wisdom dawn upon all people who have the same line of thinking as yours.

"Gladiator": Will you find out what was Gandhiji's reply to this?

The important part here ALL ARE PART OF THE SAME BODY WHERE NO ONE PART CAN CLAIM ONE IS SUPERIOR TO THE OTHER. ALL HAS TO WORK IN UNISON.

Also find out what Swami Vivekanand said on Caste, will you?

Dear,

Shudra,Vysya,Kshatriya and Brahmin all are Hindus
Simple Fact is Bharat is Hindu State, all these propaganda of All so Called "Secular Scholar" are deluding themselves by their inability to see facts on ground. No matter how hard they try ,the reality remains as is, agaist their fantasy and wishfull thinking. Good Luck to all of You , because you need one to clear your JOUNDICE, WISHFULL,UNREALISTIC THINKING. ALL those so called "SECULAR" parties will parish in near future,if they don't see reality in front of them.

Regards,
