Sri

Dear Members,

There were some discussions going on about Varnam(caste). Here is an 
interesting paasuram from Thodar-adi-podi Azhwar. Credits to Smt. Sumitra 
Varadarajan. 

"pazhuthilA ozhughalAttru palasadu pEdhimArgal!
ezhikulaththavargalElum emmadiyArgalAgil
thozhumineer kodumin konmin endru ninnOdum okka
vazhipada arulinAi pOl madhil thiruvarangaththAnE!" (Thirumaalai - 42)

Translation:

"God in the fort of Srirangam said as follows: "Oh men! Descended from Brahma, 
who are free from all mistakes and who are well versed in Vedas! People who are 
my real devotees must be treated with respect by you even if they are of low 
birth; teach them things that you know and learn from things that they know." 
Saying thus you seem to have ordained to treat your devotees as your equals and 
show them respect accordingly."

A detailed explanation about the subject line of this email:
