Pranam (Their differ in varna by birth, according to our vedams.) All English knowing would write decade as centuries yet would make fun of others; so too east asoatic commentaries all are born hindus but “THEIR: DIFFER IN Varna by birth ; yet many staunch fastidious hindus say it is Cast and the cast of Brahmin is the greatestl also comment as shudra , dalit etc the Vyasas and Valli deivayanai too?; what caste was doing when the creed built the temple yet known by a name different fromIndian?. The jihadis of India in minority , raise the voices of hooliganism, and yet secured tightly by the hooligans of the same trade. Bhavishya puranam simply described all these. By the by, which vedam said VARNA IS BY BIRTH? By birth? Vedic will hesitate to mock them as they are refined people.
2 The point of Kurinji temple is leave alone chettiar built etx, once in 12 years blooming Kurinji flower plants are there for people to see and that one was in 2020 and again in 2032, 3 जन्मना जायते शुद्र: संस्कारात् द्विज् उच्यते| By birth everyone is Shudra; it is only by purification, enrichment & education one becomes a Dwija (knowledgeable)” Dwija means born again- meaning change in one’s mind & soul! *Skanda Purana Vol.18 Book VI , Nagar Kanda , Chapter 239 , ( Efficacy of Adoration , Penance etc.) Verse 31-34* जन्मना जायते शूद्रः संस्कारात् द्विज उच्यते। शापानुग्रहसामर्थ्यं तथा क्रोधः प्रसन्नता ।|31-34|| 31 : *A Man is no better than a sudra at his birth* .He is called Brahmana (Twice Born) due to the consecration. The ability to curse and to bless, the state of being angry and pleased and the status of being the foremost in all three worlds occur only in Brahmana 4 So long we are in this bodily concept of life, then as long as we are feeling like that, all our activities are our defeat. *Parābhava*. *Parābhavas tāvad abodha-jāto* (SB 5.5.5 <https://vanisource.org/wiki/SB_5.5.5>). *Abodha-jātaḥ*. The animals or the human beings—everyone, just like this child—*abodha-jātaḥ*: born ignorant. Similarly, human being, if he remains under the bodily concept of life, then he is ignorant. That is called *śūdra. Janmanā jāyate śūdraḥ*: the Vedic culture says that everyone born is a *śūdra*. Therefore he has to be given knowledge, exactly like we send our children to schools, colleges. Why? To get knowledge. Similarly, if we remain satisfied simply with the birth by our father or mother, that is *śūdra* condition. One has to be raised to the brahminical condition. *Janmanā* . . . there is a process. The process is *janmanā jāyate śūdraḥ*. Everyone is born *śūdra* by birth. It is not that by birth one becomes *brahmin*; otherwise the *śāstra* would not have stated like this, that *janmanā jāyate śūdraḥ*: "By birth everyone is *śūdra*." *Saṁskārād dhi bhaved dvijaḥ*: but when he has executed the purificatory process, sanctifying process . . . There are ten kinds of sanctifying process. Even when the father is going to give birth to the child, he has to undergo a ritualistic ceremony, which is called *garbhādhāna-saṁskāra*, seed-giving ceremony. That is the Vedic function, *garbhādhāna*. But in the Kali-yuga all these *saṁskāras* are not followed strictly. Otherwise, according to *śāstra*, if these *garbhādhāna-saṁskāra* is not done . . . *Garbhādhāna-saṁskāra* is especially recommended for the *brahmins*, the *kṣatriyas* and the *vaiśyas*—especially the *brahmins*. 5 Hence Varna is not by birth; many a born in the brahmin family though does the samskaras and Upakarma and wear threads etc reading Vedams etc die even at 100 only ads a shudra as they lacked the six gunas (guna karma vibhaga) a qualified Brahmin had to possess. Varna is a color obtained by any one who wears the qualifications. Caswte is that of the British creation followed bny dravidas to diofferentiate.
