Dear Sriman Amshuman,

I am not aware of any such Pancharatra vidhis. However, I beliee
that caste is not by birth.

please assume "v" is there at appropriate places in thsi mail as 
there is some key board prob.

If a westerner is interested in Sriaishnaism, he can practise it 
under the guidance of an Acharya. Being a brAhmaNa is not at all a 
prerequisite for beocming a vaishnaa. there are many precedneces in 
the history of the sampradAyam.

regards
ishnu
