palindrome, is it not extremism to stick to one point of view? if so, then you too are an extremist in stressing your point...
so, what is the dividing line...? and who decides?
think you would understand...
and hence, the idea of detachment while being attached... for all thoughts are relative and born out of perceptions... varying perceptions...i agree...one becomes a part of something when dealing with it...so if several ppl (incl brahmins) want theetu of the unsocial kind that has no place in a industrialized society to go but only group wants it to remain, so one becomes a fundamentalist to deal with fundamentalism.

if one were to define right or wrong and then to act on it, it is again a question of relativity, but is the other justified in questioning it when such acts do not harm others?
did i ask you to do anything? or be detached.. in particular?did i say i want to be detached anymore?
everything is relative... but you are entitled to your perception...no question of relativity or physics.
i think you missed the point here... re-read my post...there is no harm to anyone here.
probably not... but again depends on what "harm" are we actually talking about here...if change from within does not come, then i fear there is an invitation for harm.
funny... i didn't know that... thank you for that piece of enlightening statement...am aware of what i am doing.
and so is everyone... that is the point that is being conveyed here...Sesh,
You are entitled to follow what you want to...and so am i..
thanks.

forget what i think, its abt common consensus....hanging on to old beleifs and trying to apply them to new societies is fundamentalism.
one is free to practice theetu if he is still living his life as a traditional brahmana in his village..god forbid, if mm were to be a collegue one worked with and the kind that justified untouchability on grounds of caste at work..that's the point he fails to see.
the rest of the world does not think a namesake can have his cake and eat it to...as for hygiene part of theetu, i no doubts on it.
mm,
there is no fixed sampradaya in kundalini practice...i do not think a person who goes by literal translation can even try to understand kundalini...excuse me, am out of it....reg rishis, am sorry but i too feel foolish talking to you sometimes...bye.
Bala,
You can keep practising untouchability. Nobody is stopping you. The common consensus is those that are doing it are free to do it somewhere else. Not in a civilized society. Nobody is stopping him from following what he wants to do in a dirty village.
When people have education / awareness they themselves will wanna live in cleanliness..they have no education, therefore no income for cleanliness. Ofcourse the whole points is to get rid of dirt and poverty.
But if someone wants to practice untouchability as a religious practice whereever he goes, sorry he will be kicked out.
bala!
one should learn gratitude first - b4 trying to attempt kundalini? what you say?
regards
what no fixed sampradaya ? are you sure?
every yogic practice from ordinary aasana yogas to your kundalini - goes from vedas - my dear.
and who carried the priceless transmission generation from generation?
it is brahmins - not only carried what's said also imparted and taught to the public and lived upto that.
It is very easy to put down one , it is hard to appreciate what benefits they brought to the society as whole.
bala!
Is not learning sense of gratitude more important than learning Kundalini?
regards
-how did they get to know the teaching at first?
-how did they get to know the teaching at first?
sorry not from current brahmins...
if you wanna know the history, leave me out and please see a teacher bcoz in this topic you will not find anybody willing to discuss openly..
pali!
are you saying " there is absolutely no scriptural reference" on theetu?
and it is all one bad interpretation?
well i don't know,what peoples grouse are against current brahmins?whether current or past or future=brahmins will be brahmins,just like other personality traits kshatriyas,vaishyas,shudras.
