I don't understand your problem here. Are you a sexual puritan? Do you think sexual indulgence should not exist? What exactly is your issue here? And what does this phrase "any form of sexual indulgence" mean? Does it mean homosexuality? BDSM? rape fantasies? What does it mean? And, why do you care about it?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I used that reference to show that Brahmins were from more civilised North could have excluded themselves as mitradena has pointed out.North was Orthodox backt then,South could have been heteredox.
I was just confirming what he said.No offence intended.Yes by the modern Hindu standards I do consider indulgence a sin.
