Re: Vaishnava Deeksha, not meant for westerners
Namaste,
The worst that can happen to any society is adopting the ugliness of racism. Unfortunately, succumbing to the greed of transferring power to their progeny and subjugate others, the people who were Sudras by their karma but born to Brahmins manipulated many sacred texts to cater to their nefarious designs. The issue of Varna-ashram and jaati has been discussed on this forum earlier too. Those who have any doubts can read only one Upanishad which rips apart the Varna by birth theory : "VajrashUchikaa Upanishad". The question is if manusmriti in today's form is really untainted then why Hindus accepted Huns, Kushans etc. invading tribes as Kshatriyas ... whose blood is still flowing among uncountable number of Hindus. Were they not mlecchas ? Is our blood not already "tainted" with mleccha blood ? Who knows which mleccha was the forefather of which Kshatriya ? So, what is this all hue & cry ?
The fact that something is written in Sanskrit verse doesn't make it an authentic Shastra version. Sanskrit as as good or bad a language as English or french. Anyone can write anytthing in any language. So beware of such quotes. Smriti enjoys a much lower status as compared to Shruti. The propaganda with some malicious intent towards western Hindus that is being spread with this thread is deplorable in no uncertain terms.
The irony is that such tendency is seen among Hindus who are residing in western countries. Some, perhaps, have no intention to come back to India. Some were born in the so-called mleccha country. They have no problem in eating mleccha food, earning mleccha money, breathing in mleccha country, drinking mleccha water ... they won't survive if this mleccha support is withdrawn from them. However, they don't think even twice before writing something hurting towards the so-called mleccha people.
My dear friends, who are interested in spiritual upliftment and not indulging in this worst kind of discrimination against fellow Hindus, please denounce this tendency in one united voice of the all Hindus irrespective of their place of birth or lineage.
I solicit your support as this forum has been able to come to a highly commendable position on the internet a very healthy spiritual place for Satsanga & it pains to see that it is being used for such self-fulfilling propaganda of hatred.
