Anti Brahminism

[quote=ramaaz,May 25 2008, 12:42 PM]Dear Sri. G. Subramaniam,

Since, you have quoted about meeting Periyavaal of Kanchi math, I was wondering whether you have read a discourse of Periyavaal posted at this site

http://www.kamakoti.org/hindudharma/part3/chap6.htm

This article/discourse will answer the cause for the anti-brahmin attitude in Tamil Nadu.

If you send me a personal email, I would be interested to correspond with you. My personal email is ramak20@hotmail.com

Dear Sri. Bodhi,

Thanks for taking note of my posting to Sri. G. Subramaniam. The Paramacharaya of Kanchi was a very learnt person as also a person with Tapobala. He always maintained that it is the brahmin who is the cause for destroying Hinduism. He was once approached by many prominent non-brahmins asking him as what they can do. He replied that "you are doing more than what you are supposed to do". However, the brahmins have gone so corrupt and under such circumstances, I do not have the courage to ask you to do this or that. The acharya was also against taking charity from non-brahmins for Veda Patashalas run by Mutt as he maintained that, other communities should not be punished for the sin committed by the brahmin. The acharya always maintained that the brahmin is the most spoiled of all the Hindu communities.

I see the Acharya's statement here as the chief cause for the anti-brahmin attitude and large scale conversion in areas like Kerala (50% to Islam and Christianity), Bengal (60% Muslims when you include the former East Bengal). The Acharya stated that "The brahmin took a disastrous step. On the one hand, the brahmin talked about all as equal, he himself kept aloof from others thinking himself to be superior to others. Thus, the brahmin became a source of heartburn for others".

FYI.. I am a Tamil brahmin and a practising Hindu by doing Sandhya prayers, Bhajan etc but never ask any Hindu for their caste fearing that I could sin myself and always ensure that I never hurt the sentiments of non-brahmins.
