Respected sir, 1 In previous postings Mr 2 Rajaram copy pasted messages 1 from Kanchi sankaracharya. The same Kanchi sankaracharya only told, caste of a person *depends on his parents*.I have read from Kanchi matam letters. I am sure when I repeat here , *Mr 3 ajaram will ask for proof!!!* Regarding Varna, I too read the explanation he copied from some source.2 It is the first time I reading Varna is derived from vara. I cannot compete with wide knowledge Mr Rajaram.3 Further he has copied from some where,4 *The word “caste” is derived from the Portuguese and Spanish word “casta”, meaning “race” or “breed”. It is synonymous to ‘jaati’*." *I could not control my laugh.!!!5 *Gopalakrishnan xxxxc In this one 3 respect lip service and 5 abuses as if you are my boss and yet you have temerity to say that you are good and I am bad? I say: AS LONG AS YOU DO YOUR PART I SHALL RETORT. YOU HAVE TO TASTE IT AS YOU WANT ME TO. DECENCY MUST ARISE FROM YOUR END tHANK YOU KR IRS 20524//2`1524
