How beautifully, Swamiji explained the real meaning of varna ashrama or caste system, not a birth based system , but a system based on attributes and capabilities....Thankyou, its time people understand this, then India can rise to her glory.....

[@VS-jx8hj]

Bhakthi will fill all voids and it will light the path of our spiritual journey. We can soak in devotion by listening to bhajans and kirthanas. Repeated writing of Rama nama is the way.

54:15 this is the cause of all problems in Indian society

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

19:02 the uneasiness when he said everything here for God. And the whole fashion of our age .... wowww! So deep Swamiji. This is our trend to be uneasy that all this world is for God, they think that it's like the medieval ages he realized by looking their expressions. Then he saw smiles on their faces. But our trend is a mistake and a miserable trend.

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

6:03 for worldly goals ... this is the psychological support that people need in life sir talks about

[@ksoldestaccount7654]

17:01 saying the modern sense of gods here in this world ... money work fame and power and pleasure and they give their results immediately but ultimately misery

[@neerajamb]

Namaskaram Swamiji! Beautiful as always. My only submission is that while Varna is commonly translated as caste, it is not. Varna is better translated by Balagangadhara as a power structure. So the 4 varnas would be the 4 fulcrums of power: intelligentsia, military, commerce and labour.

Very well explained about the caste system in India. There are several examples where even varna system is crisscrossed with occupation. Like Viswamitra, Drnacharya.

[@c.d.prasad9891]

I do agree Poojya Swamiji has very well explained the concept of Varna aashrama in Bhagavat Gita which is not based on ones birth. Yet I, with my limited knowledge, have not found any family either in real life or in Puraanas where four child born in the same family following four different Varnas. At least in 99% cases they all follow the same varna. I am not talking about one son becoming a doctor and the other becoming a teacher. Even in Mahabharata of which Bhagavat Gita is a part, look at all the five sons or all the hundred sons, all are considered Kshatriyas, all are fighting the war. So, I am wondering, did the concept of Varnashrama just remain more a bookish concept used only in religious discourses? Please correct me if I am wrong 🙏

[@hemantabijoymahanta3529]

@@c.d.prasad9891 Thanks for your concern Mr Prasad. As long as we are within the three Guna, Satva, Rajas, Tama, we have to work within the Varnashrama Dharma. The reflection may be different in our daily works or occupation, but it always there. Only difficulty comes when it is strictly linked to birth. Varna is related to Guna and caste is related to birth.

Srikrishna says in Bhagvat Gita chapter 4 verse 13 that human beings are categorized into four classes or varnaas. These classes are based on the 3 gunaas, and the corresponding action that each guna prompts us to do. Here the 3 Gunas are Sattava gun, Rajo gun and Thamogun. Srikishna never said that case is by birth but is based on the quality or spiritual level or you can say his/hers level of awareness. Tamo gun character kama (desire), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), Mada (arrogance), moha (delusion), and matsarya (jealousy), bhay( fear). Tamo gun can be compared to entropy( lack of order or randomness) .Sattva gun is unconditional love. Rajas is the driving energy. All living and non living things has these 3 gunas( qualities) . If a person is with his son who they love ( true love is synonym for unconditional) then his sattva guna will be predominant. His Rajas guna will generate the energy in him to do the act in character of the sattva guna. When the same person is encountering a person whom he hates then his tamo gun is in to action and it will act in as much force as he has Rajas gun. Each person should take up those responsibility in the society which is ideal for his composition( of the 3 gunas) . A saatvik person is able to transact higher amount of divine energy and can do a better job to program the dieties and enhance the energy field in temple. They are called brahmins.As you know temple and dieties is like a hospital where healing happens. There is a whole science behind temple architecture and Tantra. Those who has composition is saatvik but predominantly rajas has the drive and energy to do administration and they are called shaktriyas. Vayshyas has more tamas than satva and has moderate rajas. Shudra is predominantly tamas. These 3 gunas are associated with the vibrations of the energy body which inhabits the physical body. A person who is 100% saatvic cannot sustain in human body and they will transcend in to higher planes of existence, so a balancing composition is necessary for us to be in this body and live in the physical plane. It is similar to how electrons, neutrons and protons balance an atom. There are many planes of existence based on frequency of vibration of energy. A society is like an organism where each body part has its own function. A person in Sanathan dharma is like an organ in an organism and he/she fits himself in to appropriate job. A person who cleans drainage is no inferior to a person assigned to a job in temple. Over period of time when there came wealth imbalance, nepotism parents wanted their kids to have privilege over the others and the caste system got linked to lineage or by birth so that people can still hold on to the privileges they enjoy and pas it own to their children without any merit . This is not an easy topic to understand.
