Religion

 While the purpose was to write about Veer Savarkar and Gandhi, I thought that there is a need to write about our religion first.  The way in which our religion is built is so unique.  

It is a roof for all kinds s of people. Islam speaks about formless God. Bhuddism teaches non violence and detachment. 

But no religion dissects the concept of God like Hinduism does.  We have Gods with form, we have advocates of formless nameless God,  we have people who worship God by offering alcohol and meat, we have people who worship God by fasting and by offering fruits.  

Hinduism does not tell the whole world about how God is.  Instead it teaches each community to worship God in a particular way,according to their varnam or  தொழிற் குழு.  

According one's life style and habits, one perceives God. According a persons' evolution, he  moves from one belief to another.  

Caste system helped the community to flourish spiritually and economically.  

When we have faith in God, caste system is not at all a problem.  Our journey in earth is a continuous one.  It does not end with this one incarnation. 

A person born as kshatria in one incarnation may become a soodra or vysya in another incarnation.  That means, the only way to grow is to accept the given birth as it is and to make use of it wisely. If materialistic growth is the only motive of human birth, caste system is not needed. But grooming people characteristically according to their capabilities can happen only if we follow varnashrama dharma.  

Brahmin was respected by all in Hindu dharma because he lived for religion and God.  He is prohibited by religion to flourish materialistically. He cannot indulge in dense pleasures.  He has to live for others.  Definitely,  when a person with capabilities,  restrains himself from worldly pleasures and lives for the society,  he will be respected.  

Today's brahmins are nowhere close to that.  Though most of the cruel practices manifested in caste sysrem are almost done away with,still we fail to accept brahmin as a respectable person because we hardly find any such selfless person.  

But the very few brahmins who study veda and are willing live a dharmic life should be encouraged tremendously even though they lack selfless motive. Because upholding dharma is very backbone of Hinduism.  Anyone who is willing to live for veda needs encouragement despite their very low standards.

Every Hindu should understand about the caste system.  Every Hindu should know about dharma. Every Hindu should start reading our glorious history.

Hinduism is not just about bad uppercase people bullying so called lower caste people. It is about sharpening the people through rituals and beliefs.  

Though lot more can be written,I am keeping it short to catch Veer Savarkar.
