Brahma sutra - Casteism

http://www.bharatadesam.com/spiritual/brahma_sutra/brahma_sutra_sankara_34107.php

The Sûdras are not qualified for that reason also that Smriti prohibits their hearing the Veda, their studying the Veda, and their understanding and performing Vedic matters. The prohibition of hearing the Veda is conveyed by the following passages: 'The ears of him who hears the Veda are to be filled with (molten) lead and lac,' and 'For a Sûdra is (like) a cemetery, therefore (the Veda) is not to be read in the vicinity of a Sûdra.' From this latter passage the prohibition of studying the Veda results at once; for how should he study Scripture in whose vicinity it is not even to be read? There is, moreover, an express prohibition (of the Sûdras studying the Veda). 'His tongue is to be slit if he pronounces it; his body is to be cut through if he preserves it.' The prohibitions of hearing and studying the Veda already imply the prohibition of the knowledge and performance of Vedic matters; there are, however, express prohibitions also, such as 'he is not to impart knowledge to the Sûdra,' and 'to the twice-born belong study, sacrifice, and the bestowal of gifts.'--From those Sûdras, however, who, like Vidura and 'the religious hunter,' acquire knowledge in consequence of the after effects of former deeds, the fruit of their knowledge cannot be withheld,

December Kerala Vacation

Veri - Veri = zero Veri

Veri has to be subtracted with Veri.. Only then there will be No Veri. Whenever the discussions are without logic I support only my people.. What is "my people" is depending on context...

1. When its a Tamil-Malayalee issue I am on Malayalee side

2. When its a Atheist - Religion fight these days I am on atheist side..

3. When its a Muslim-Hindu issue ofcourse on Hindu side

etc etc.. The only place I dont support my people is

4. When its a Ezhava-Nair issue I support Ezhavas.. I dont like these stupid Nairs. I hate to be one among them.

I started receiving lots of Tamil views on Mulla(i)-periyar during afternoon discussions:

1st Lecture minutes ( long before):
1. All RAW and national security top posts are from Kerala. They gave false advises on Srilankan Tamil issue and thats why Srilankan Tamilians are suffering. This is the reason why Mulla periyar issues come in between.

2nd Lecture minutes ( before Dam 999 release )
1. Dam 999 movie is funded by Kerala government
2. Kerala wants water for Hydro electric power project in Idukki

3rd Lecture minutes
1. 5 districts in Tamil Nadu will become desert if mullaperiyar water does not reach Tamil nadu

4th Lecture minutes
1. We are paying only 6 lakhs per year for Water from Mullaperiyar. Even a software engineer can pay.

Last Lecture minutes:
1. There is a talk that Idukki should become part of Tamil Nadu.. ( Thereby if people die it will be people from Tamil Nadu who will be dying)
2. Kerala assembly is now 80-78 and re-election is occuring in one constituency because of a death. The Mullaperiyar row is for election purpose..

No where there is any talk about Safety and the danger if Dam breaks. In Kerala there is no ban for Tamil products or Chennai silks showrooms nor there is any attack against Tamilians. The status quo is maintained on water supply to Tamil Nadu. Its just that now people are afraid of a Dam collapse and they need an answer.

No Veri

Had no time for Mullaperiyar investigation.. only focus was on eating...... These are the things I heard on Mullaperiyar subject in Kerala.

* PJ Joseph and Kerala congress is taking advantage of Mullaperiyar issue

* Vaiko and PJ Joseph are of the same category

* Dam is not in danger, it is a political conspiracy

* Dam is in Danger. But everybody will listen to only Tamil Nadu.

etc etc

Anyway there is no Veri.

And people are listening to and dancing to Tamil songs for new year. But I didnt see any Tamil films this time - Saw two malayalam, one hindi and one english.

Mullaperiyar should be a symbol of co-operation and harmony. Periyar is a river flowing through Kerala and has been supplying water to 5 districts of tamil nadu for last 120 years.. and Keralites eat most of the vegetables cultivated from those 5 districts.. Let Veri go and Chiri come.....

Mullaperiyar Veri

Whether Dam will collapse and kill people in Kerala is not sure.. But definitely its making life of Keralites in Tamil Nadu difficult now ( as per malayalam news paper reports.. )

Its funny how people are fighting over the net. And too much abusive remarks.. Why we are complaining about australian racism and all ?

One thing I am not able to understand --- Kerala states Dam Safety as issue, and Tamil Nadu has fear of Kerala re-negotiating contracts ?? ( I still dont understand Tamil Nadu fears ). Its very easy to settle the issue - See if the dam is in real danger - bring experts - and do it with RED ZONE URGENCY.

Anyway I trust more VS and Chandy than Karunanidhi/Jayalalitha/Vaiko brand.

Decided to study more on the issue during the december vacation. Will be back with more details !!!
