Ganesh Statue/To Anand Sharma

[Guest guest]

Namaste char Pranaams Anand,

 

Hope you weren't put off by my response below about your being

Brahmin and to firstly consult yr family or personal gurus before

considering seeing things as i'd mentioned in the message below.

You see, if you are a 'Smarta Hindu', then its ok to be 'Liberal' as

they put it. In the case of Smarta or Liberal Hindus, it is fine to

take all info in, analyse for themselves and experience what works

for them, then stick to it.

 

But if you were raised within strict Brahmin family background and

an eldest son, it is always wise to first consult the family guru

first.

 

In any case, the caste system in India means nothing to me.

Discrimmination is "Seeing Duality". All are God's children,

regardless of caste, race or background. It is the personal merits

of an individual that matters above all else, This is the how Lord

Ganapati as Keeper of Akashic Records, operates ) Even rishis,

maharishis, swamis, sanyasi, pujaris and all holy persons are not

exempt from having their records noted down by Ganapatiji for later

reckoning

 

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namah
