Varna And Birth

By:  and

It is one of the strangest ironies that, despite being an intricate part of our daily lives, we do not have any theory explaining Varna, Jati, and Kula. It is also not clear whether caste, understood as a class system, can be the foundation for understanding the complex arrangement of Varnas and Jatis in Indian society. One of the biggest sources of contradictory strands is the issue of whether Varna is by birth or not.
Chittaranjan Naik concludes that birth is not the cause of Varna, as popularly understood; it is the identifier.

The real Shakti of Bharat lies in Chaturvarnya

"The system of division into different Varnas is the stepping stone to civilization, making one specialise and rise higher in the areas of one's heritage, learning and vocation. The youth of Bharat must try to understand the beauty of this eternal system where Chaturvarnya is the real Shakti of Bharat."

Gyaana and Adhikara

Should trade secrets be revealed to all and sundry? Do the custodians of groundbreaking technology and classified information have the right to shield their secrets from prying eyes? If yes, then the courtesy should be extended to ancient dharmik knowledge systems as well - the concept of Adhikara of access to exclusive information and knowledge; and access should only be granted to those with Adhikara as allowed by Dharma Shastras.
