2. Much has been written about BRAHMANA. Some
praise BRAHMANA and some blame them for all
the maladies in India. Some adore the
BRAHMANA for acting as conduits of the
knowledge and wisdom; from the ancient past to the
present; and some hate them for the scriptures such
as MANAU SMRUTI and socio-political
discrimination.
I have discussed the concept of the word
BRAHAMANA in my book SAHASRANETRA.
But brief consideration of the concept of being
BRAHAMANA is worthwhile.
Even as BRAHMANA as a community; exists; and
even as it is not easy to overcome our prejudices,
preconceptions, grudges; we ought to realize that
every individual has all four tendencies viz.
BRAHAMANA, KSHATRIYA, VAISHYA and
SHUDRA and being BRAHMANA is not
restricted to any community.
3. Being Brahmana is (irrespective of one’s
community and caste; by birth); being in a
continuous process of conscious evolution (through
NAMASMARAN and other means from childhood)
embodying; blossoming of perspective, thoughts,
feelings, aspirations, conceptions, articulations and
overall behavior conducive to individual and global
blossoming.
Holistic politics, holistic economics, holistic
education, holistic health, holistic medicine, holistic
agriculture, holistic industries, holistic trades,
holistic banking, holistic art and literature, holistic
sports and overall holistic way of living; become
reality in the process of being a Brahmana.
The vitalization, promotion, regulation,
coordination and harmonization of the
KSHATRIYA, VAISHYA and SHUDRA elements;
inside and outside and blossoming of individual and
universe, as envisaged by Saint Dnyaneshwar of
Maharashtra; takes place in the process of being
BRAHMANA.
4. Everyone; irrespective of birth has the privilege and
opportunity to evolve as BRAHMANA and
participate in the process of blossoming one and all,
realizing that merely blaming BRAHMANA
community is suicidal and bound to jeopardize; the
individual and global blossoming!
In fact; this process of evolving as a BRAHMANA
and facilitating the individual and global
blossoming is spreading like a wild fire in the world
and becoming ubiquitous!
