Dear
I have not said Hindu Dharma has defects.I have said Hinduism  has its own 
defective system if I may call so.Hindu Dharma is what attracts the 
foreigners to know it fully.If still you think I am wrong,i may be 
forgiven.R.Krishnamoorthy.

Sri Gurubhyon Namaha
Dear Mr Krishnamoorthy
Your saying of Hindu Dharma has
its own defects points out your lack of understanding of the basics of the
dharma, please refrain saying that rather say that thats what your
interpretation or your understanding of the dharma is. It is selfish people 
like
me and you who have interpreted it as we want it. The varna system has its
mertits and there is a reason why it was designed that way by god. Even 
purusha
suktha has a reference to which part of the parama purusha is each varna 
from.
and if you note we pray to the feet of lord and it is from there that the
shudras have come. Each varna is great in it self only when one varna goes 
into
the activities of others do conflicts arise.


A brahmin is one who is a dwija who contemplates on the brahman, earning 
only
what is needed for his and his dependants survival for that day, but how 
many of
us who we call ourselves brahmins by birth have done our nitya karmas 
without
any prayaschitta and lead our lives as per the shastras waking up at brahmi
muhurta and doing nitya karmas, i doubt even 1% of the people do it now. 
Every
one is doing everyones work a brahmin is in the army, in politics, in 
factories
in business, same with other varnas, so you cant expect the mechanism to 
work
well when you dont operate it according to the rules of the manual.

Sri Kamakshi
Raghav

Dear
Sorry .The earlier response to your mail got away before I could
finish.Continuing that-without inviting comments that they are pseudo Hindus 
and
that they are having ulterior motives to have joined Hinduism.Yes Hinduism 
is
have its own defective system if i may call so having casteism and
discreminations and so on.But nothing to beat its freedom in thinking and 
find
the Truth for yourselves ably assisted by Upanishidic
revelaltions.R.Krishnamoorthy.

This is such an arrogant discussion.

People talking patronizingly as if they are burdened with a sense of heavy
responsibility toward those unfortunate creatures who did not get born as 
Hindus
-quoting from this and that shastraa. Whom are we deluding here? The world 
is
not flocking at our doors to convert to Hinduism. There are just a handful 
of
romanticists who are probably unaware of the inequity imbuilt within 
Hinduism
who want to come to Hinduism. Give them an honest answer about Hinduism and 
its
caste system and half of them would not bother again to convert. Rest would 
be
of a sturdier material and would be well off either way whether you place 
them
in a high or low or left or right caste.

Namaskar
