A thread on trad, raita, various sampradayas, varna, #Hinduism

1. Trad and Raitha terms are recent ones. And we are creating further divide in Hindus. Varna is one of the aspect of Hinduism and hinduism is way more than that with different types of aspects of spirituality. 2. But varna concept also can not be ignored as academia, media, various sects talks about it.

Brahmins or Traditionalists gave their lives to safeguard dharma. They built so much literature and scientific concepts.

And same with other varnas also.

1. Thread on varna and caste in Hinduism.

This is more complex subject. Afrer reading different opinions I am saying varna is not by birth. But at same time there in few cases there is a chance that one may be born in particular varna.

#Hinduism 2. Gita clearly says Varna is based on guna and karma. Means conduct, charecter and action. Karma can be prarabdha past karma or kriya karma present action.

Gunas can be influenced to an extent by previous vasanas. Vasana means brain imprints.

1. Recent #Netflix movie and the online hate on #Krishna shows other religions people don't have a clue and their hate is so strong. Let's talk about the great god Krishna.

#Vedas talk about one supream god parabrhaman. Who is that being ? 2. Every Sect say different things but same time same thing. Sects like advaita,shudd #Advaita, vishist advaita etc say Only one supream being manifested as multiple beings.
Sects like dwaita, Kashmiri saviaim says one suprem god and he or she created other gods with his amsha.
