So it might be  interesting to take a raincheck on that area. He really was quite  adamantly against arbitrariness - caste was important as was ritual. He was highly unimpressed with science. One of his primary disciples--actually the person who was elected to the position of Shankaracharya, Sw. Karpatri, who insisted SBS be given the position--was also very traditional like his guru (SBS). All westerners were considered "mlecchas" and although they were allowed to receive teachings, they had to sit at the back of the room with the untouchables.
