    Absolutely superb conversation. As a South African I feel a great urgency to preserve my Hindu Dharma and therefore ensure I conduct my day the Hindu way. Pooja, bindi, food. While watching this I am wearing a saree. Regd jati, marriage took place accordingly a few generations back but not any more.

  • @326gundu

    Nice conversation! 👍
    Some thoughts from my side:
    If we look at why there is a disconnect between how our ancestors lived Dharma and we do, I think it's the impact of presentism. Like how we involuntarily look at ourselves from the Western lens, we look at our past from the present day's perspective. Hence the dichotomy. In other words, the society in which our ancestors lived was a duty based one and not a rights based one as it is now. So the very foundation is dissimilar. We can't have our rights supersede our duties and yet want a society similar to that of our ancestors. That's just not possible. Therefore the question arises, what do we do now? Well, simply stop trying to mimic our ancestors or change the foundation of the society by making duties supersede the rights. Easier said than done. So, what now. Nothing. Just accept that you have sailed so far away from your ancestral ways of life that you simply can't relive them. As simple as that. So, does that mean that Dharma is dead and I have severed all the links with my ancestors? No. You still have your non-negotiable aspects of Dharma available to you, hold onto them at all costs and see what all good things that can be relived from the time of your ancestors. What are those non-negotiables?
    Vedas are supreme
    Punarjanma is the foundation
    Karma and its phala extend across the re-births
    There's no permanent hell or heaven
    Moksha is the ultimate goal of human birth
    Atma is a part of paramatma
    All Vedic, puranic and Kula forms of deities are valid manifestations of the Brahman (paramatma)
    Even if you haven't heard about a certain manifestation of the Brahman held in reverence by some other co-dharmic, it's your essential duty to respect and defend that manifestation as and when you become aware of it (irrespective of your personal faith)
    For all or any disputes, shastra is the ultimate pramana.
    The other question that arises is, if our ancestors lived in a duty based society then does it mean they didn't have any rights? No. They all had the same rights and beyond a point it didn't really matter to them because they all had a common goal called moksha and following one's own duty ensured that final objective hence the rights were not taken seriously beyond a point. What about discrimination? Well, it did creep in when our ancestors kept compromising with the non-negotiables and started quietly putting rights above the duties. Basically when we started to disregard the common objective ie. Moksha. What about castes and jatis? Well, they are there. Should we abolish them? No you can't, they are the least common denominators of the society and you can't eliminate them since the human nature would replace the void with something else. So what to do? First things first. Recognise that caste is not the root cause but discrimination is. So, how do we remove discrimination? Do the opposite of what you have been doing so far. Instead of trying annihilate castes, make purposeful and determined efforts as a society to celebrate each and every caste. Consciously look for the positive contribution of each caste to the society and celebrate it. Obviously, our entire history is not only about discrimination, there have been brilliant contributions from everyone of our ancestors belonging to different castes. Why not do justice to it?
    End of the rant 🙏

    One thing that never gets discussed is the genetic diversity benefits of the varna and jaati system. I believe it has to do something with this system because all across the world people have been inbreeding whether it's the royalties in the Europe or the middle east but inbreeding was never a problem in India even 1000s of years ago otherwise the whole civilization would have collapsed with genetic mutations and diseases.

    Brahman is described as intelligent and morally good/sattvic, kind and forgiving. And shudra as dumb and morally wrong/bad/tamsik.
    And if you say Brahman and shudra is by birth than you had lost the argument already. Because we practice religion for peace of mind and emotion and for morality, love and compassion.
    Beauty of Hinduism is that it says we are not the body or mind, we are chaitanya atma/shivohum/tat vam asi/aham brahmasmi.
    Bhagwan resides in every living being equally, one who see every as part of brahm/Bhagwan is brahmin.

      Just look at the Ancestors list of Sriramachandra. His ancestry ultimately traced to a Rajrishi, a great Kshatriya Vaivaswata Manu not to other Varnas. Though Ravana was a King he was still a Brahmana not Kshatriya. That itself is enough to understand the Varna Vyavastha.

      A true Brahmin's life is not easy, in fact it's most difficult. A true Brahmin' should dedicate life knowing the Brahman, should live a satvik life (which is not just food btw, it's far beyond that), should not accumulate any material wealth (in fact, they should live on alms/danas from others), should not do business (Vaishsya's dharma), should not do any job or service for others (or else you are in fact, a Shudra).

It was the Surdras who built most of our magnificent Ambalams, Devalayas, Gudi, Mandir, Matthas & Kovils all over Bharat. Dharma NEVER discriminated against anyone.
