Sanatana Dharma - Aka Hinduism (2nd Bin)

[Guest]

Ashok ji very much enjoyed your post on Go . it makes perfect sense.

Sunder ji interesting take on adi sankara's version , i know for long the kanchi math has maintained a component of the varna system based on birth, jayendra saraswati broke many barriers by going beyond the established .

I have a doubt , how is this applicable to kali yuga , remember reading in the bhagavatam in the predictions about kali yuga made by the sages sitting in naimisharnya in modern uttar pradesh , one of them being in the modern kali yuga a brahmin will be known by his thread alone .

also the set of rules applicable to kali yuga are the ones given by parashara , this was what i remember reading.


Even if Sankara held the varna/jati by birth , how does it apply to modern age and to my original concern , how will the footsoldiers be convinced , leave alone them , for people the lower jatis how will they even come out of the self confidence , faith in hinduism tangle .

If you could please throw light on ramanujacharya's position on the same would be most happy .
