Kulapavana 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2005 varna-sankara refers to people who are unwanted in the vedic society: those who are unproductive, unregulated, and not obiding by the vedic principles of dharma. they only create a strain on the vast majority of vedic law obiding people.

Gaurhari 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 varna= color; sankara= mixture or blending. Hence, varna-sankara=mixture or blending of colors; mixture or confusion of castes (social orders) through intermarriage; or mixed or impure progeny (translated in the Gita as "unwanted progeny". Hope this helps a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
