Dear Dr,That is quite a rant! you have it all figured out. So good luck to you!Y/sRick Brown's iPhonewww.richardshawbrown.comOn Aug 8, 2009, at 4:04 PM, rajeev Rajeev <airavat15 wrote:Dear Sir,I have

quoted the slokas,from Rig Veda, the seed of Varna/Caste is laid down there2) the slokas of Manusmriti is quoted,where it was glorified and put into practice and rule.3) The slokas from Gita is also mentioned, where finally work according to Varna,and Varna according to birth is very well defined. The intellectuals of non vedic

religion/societywellcomed this, due to obvious benifits from this rule, as a result the vedic social sytem was firmly established in India.Thus the seed of casteism ,which was laid down at Rig Veda, grown up and taken a final shape in Gita. As a result of this Gita is Honoured as "VEDANTA",the end of Veda.The poor non Vedic people left out were termed as "BUDDHU", who embraced Islam,as they had no place in Vedic religion.You intelligent and highly

educated people with your various organisations are now again playing tricks, to fool the people.But the days are limited. Intelligent educated people took thousand years to establish this evil rules of Vedas(the ocean of knowledge),definitely it will take time to bring unified Hindu social system.However, Mahaprabhu Sree Chaitanya Dev was against caste, Bhagwan Sree Ramkrishna Dev was against caste, but could not succeed to eradicate it due to his intelligent and educated followers.Whatever you try to spin the story,it will not help.So please please stop misguiding the people in the nam of Hindu Dharma.Hindu dharma never recognize casteism, except one of its contituent Vedic religion. Hence, please stop chanting Vedic and Vedic,Look at Agamaas also. However I am proud that the oldest literature on religion/society is recorded in this India by Indians only, not by any outsiders , as being tried to brand as an Aryan

Religion.The Europians are now trying to rob it from India and trying to stamp it as their product. Which will not be allowed under any circumstances.In case you are really sincere and a believer of One God, Kindly stand up to fight against this evil practice, let us work together and redefine Hinduism.With kind regards.Dr. Rajeev Agnihotri--- On Fri, 7/8/09, Richard Shaw Brown <rsbj66 wrote:Richard Shaw Brown <rsbj66 Re: Footnote - page 1257 in Srimad Bhagavatam by GITA PRESSsacred-objects Date: Friday, 7 August,

Dear Sir! Clarify WHAT? Yes, Veda-Purana- Itihas ALL mention the 4 Varnas. OK? But they do not say the Varna is determined by BIRTH!* No where do Vedas qualify Varna by "janma". That is non-sense. Krishna clearly says, "chatur-varnam maya-sristam GUNA KARMA vibhagashah" - Varna is determined by two things, GUNA and KARMA... NOT BY JANMA!

He said Shankar was wrong, Vallabh was wrong, yogis are wrong, jnanis are wrong, Jains and Sikhs are wronmg, Vivakananda was wrong, Buddhists are called the worse names and are wrong, karmis are wrong, Gita Press is non-devotee (in spite of evidence), he also said his own senior Godbrothers were "MayavadisNon-devoteesBlack like gorrillaEnvious black snakes", and loads of other UNTRUE statements that are NOT a fact. I knew Prabhupada's Godbrothers and they had hands, legs, and were not snakes, nor Mayavadis. They were Vaishnava Sadhus. So if Prabhupada can bad-mouth his OWN SENIOR GODBROTHERS, they how could Gita Press possibly escape the onslaught?

Again, these utterances are believed to have escaped from lips of Sri Radha in a state of divine ecstasy (Divyonmada) . Which has no parallel anywhere and is the special monopoly of Sri Radha a unique personification of Mahabhava, the highest and purest form of divine Love. These utteraances have also been classified under various heads such as Ghitrajalpa, which have been clearly defined in standard works on poetics like the Ujjvala-nilamani of Rupa Goswami."
