#SanathanaDharma

Dear Friends, a few points to share regarding the Varna Ashrama Dharma.

Vested interests take advantage of our lack of awareness of this particular Dharma and project it as discriminatory.

1

More often than not, our own people give defensive replies to the accusations.

For example, when someone says "Hinduism is the worst religion as it discriminates based on birth" many of us reply like say "Isn't it there in faith Y?" or "It's based on profession" & such.

2
Varnashrama Dharma cannot be interpreted in isolation i.e. one has to understand & accept (at least) what the following mean to understand it in full:

1. Paramathma & Jivathma Thathvam
2. Karma-based Jananam, life events & Maranam
3. Narakam, Swargam & Moksham

3
The primary purpose of everyone's birth is to get out of the cycle of birth-death so that we can eternally serve Bhagawan and His Adiyaars.

Where has it ever been said that only Archakas & Yagnyopaveethadhaaris can get Gnanam & reach Moksham?? All are most welcome!!

4
Every Jivathma has been through loads & loads of janmas and has taken loads & loads of Karmic shareerams.

So, one being a Brahmana or Shudra in this birth doesn't mean anything. The same Jiva could've been a tree / animal in previous birth or may become one in the next!!

5
One becoming an Archakar or fighting for "Yagnyopaveetham rights" (?!!) will not automatically grant Gnanam or Moksham. They're Karmic duties to be performed as a kainkaryam to Bhagawan. That's all. Doing our Swadharma with a sincere intent will take us closer to Bhagawan.

6
Bhagawan is working to transform us into Jivas worthy of Moksham, that's all.

Why would He discriminate against His own children?! It's such a stupid interpretation of Varnashrama Dharma. Emperumaan can hardly wait for us to reach Him. He's the beneficiary when we reach Him!!

7
What truly matters is how we cooperate with Bhagawan to acquire proper Sathva Gunam, Sathsangam, Gnanam, Anushtanam & thereby Moksham. Everyone is eligible for all these - without exception.

No leftist / conversion agent will tell you this!

8
We need to educate our people to not feel proud / ashamed of any Varna.

We're here for a huge, beautiful purpose and all are absolutely most welcome to pursue and attain it.

Kindly share these facts with people whom you know. 🙏

திருமாமகள் கேள்வனுக்கும் திருமாமகளுக்கும் பன்னிரு திருநாமங்கள் உள்ளன என்பது நம்மில் பலர் அறிந்திருக்கக்கூடும்.

பதின்மூன்றாவதாகவும் ஒரு திருநாமம் இருவருக்குமே (வாசுதேவ:, சர்வாபீஷ்டபலப்ரதா) உண்டு என்று பெரியோர் பணிப்பர்.

“இது போலவே ஸ்ரீ வைணவ குருமார்களின் தலைவரான எம் ஐயன் இராமாநுசருக்கும் பதின்மூன்று அழகிய சிறப்புத் திருநாமங்கள் உள்ளனவோ?” என்று வியக்கும்படி அவருக்குப் பெரியோர்கள் பட்டங்கள் அளித்துள்ளனர்!

அவற்றைத் தொகுத்து வழங்குவதே இந்த இழையின் நோக்கம்.

இராமாநுசர் காஷ்மீரம் சென்றபொழுது சரசுவதி தேவி அவர் முன் தோன்றி, "நீர் 'கப்யாசம் புண்டரீகம் ஏவம் அக்ஷிணீ' என்ற வேத வாக்கியத்தின் பொருள் உரைப்பீர்!" என்ன,

இராமாநுசரும் "இதற்குப் 'பரம்பொருள் ஆதவனால் அன்று அலர்த்தப்பட்டத் தாமரையைப் போன்றத் திருக்கண்கள் உடையவன்' என்று பொருள்" என உரைத்தார்.

நாமங்கையும் மிக உகந்து, வேதங்களின் பொருளை விளக்க இராமாநுசர் எழுதிய உரையைத் தமது சிரத்தில் தரித்து, "இதுவே ஸ்ரீபாஷ்யம்! நீரே ஸ்ரீபாஷ்யகாரர்!"
Swamin, thanks much for sharing the refreshing words of the great Swami Pillailokacharyar. Wouldn't dream of speaking against Him. 🙏

Only meant to point out how far we've gone away (IMHO) from the main goal of a Jivathma while dealing with the mischief of vested interests.

1


In the loud din made by deliberate screams like "Can all become Archakars?" or "Can women become Acharyas?", I feel we've kept ourselves too busy in listening to this pointless noise & in trying to "prove" that our Dharma is "inclusive", "open-minded" & what not.

2

In the process, the very purpose of our Janma (Moksham) and the very objective of our Jivathma (Nithya Kainkaryam for Bhagawan and His Adiyaars) lay forgotten.

The truth is these are always open to all Jivathmas regardless of the Varna or any other attribute one can think of.

3

Swami Ramanujacharya & Swami Pillailokacharyar taught us to respect all Jivathmas based on the gnanam, kainkarya manobhavam and other such beautiful parameters.

They showed us examples from our own Ithihasas & Puranas. They didn't do any "activism" is what I mean to say.

4

They taught us that the natural state of the Jivathma is daasathvam towards Emperumaan & His Adiyaars.

Any janma that enables the daasathvam manifest as kainkaryam is beautiful. Once this happens, Varna, Ashrama, etc. are just trivia.

5
I understand the disappointment when our sects fight in full public view and the embarrassment thereof.

However, my concern is different, TBH.

Am even okay with all our infighting.

My problem is when we don't set those differences aside & join hands to face a common foe.

This maturity is not new to us - it has already been explained in the Mahabharatha!!

Yudhishtira tells his brothers to fight the Gandharvas & defend their cousins (Kaurava). This was *after* the game of dice, mark you.

2/n

When Bheema protested, Yudhishtira explains: "Between us & the Kauravas, we are 5, they are a hundred. In front of outsiders, however, we're a 105."

Sanathana Dharma has been there for time immemorial. It's natural that we have sects, unresolved disagreements, etc..

3/n

Abrahamics have sects for just a 2000-year existence. And they too bicker among themselves!!!

So, the real issue, IMHO, is forgetting to gather under our common identity.

4/n

If we try to silence voices or concerns of our internal sects for the sake of common unity, some people of the section that feels unheard may even shake hands with the very foe we're trying to vanquish. This is one of my greatest concerns.

Actually, in general, the term Azhwar is used to refer to even those Adiyaars who permanently reside in Sri Vaikuntam with Emperumaan. They are called Nithyasuris. Chakrathazhwar, Garudazhwar, Thiruvananthazhwan, Senapathi Azhwan and such names are quite common.

1/n


In fact, even for some Acharyas the term Azhwan has been suffixed to Their Thirunamams as a mark of Their strikingly deep Bhakthi. Eg: Sri Koorathazhwan, Sri Milagazhwan.

2/n

That being said, the term Azhwar is primarily used to refer to those specific Bhakthas who were gifted with purest gnanam (mayarvara mathinalam) by Sriman Narayana for the unique cause of revealing the 4000 Divya Prabandhas (also celebrated as Thamizh or Dravida Vedas).

3/n

Thereby, those 12 noble Devotees alone are included in the Azhwar list.

In case of Swami Ramanujacharya, the purpose of His Avathara was not to reveal the 4000 Divya Prabandhas but to enhance the spread of those 4000 Divya Prabandhas and Their glories.

4/n

Hence, Swami Ramanuja is in the Acharya goshti. However, two major points to note are:

1. Swami Ramanuja is none but Swami Nammazhwar's Divine Feet and His Avathara is an extension of Swami Nammazhwar's Avathara.

More from Religion

Rig Ved 1.36.7

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

1/9


Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

2/9

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
