namaste smt.raghavan,
1. To be a priest is to follow a certain code of conduct that is slightly more than that for brahmins even. That is a 24x7 job no mayday, no labour laws and no paid holidays.
The attitude of servitude should be there. If a learned non-brahmin can have all these he can be considered.
2. Pl donot mention Christian missonaries without understanding the cause for all this.
Can you do this with pontifical office. That is considered only a job, but a sc/st have not been ordained till date in church.
3. Why think that we have a castiest mentality. Are we so washed out of ideas. Was it not we who thought the democratic way of living.
4. Can you tell me which religion is more free than hindus. The term itself if you think clearly is a group of systems in sync. We have practices from offer of meat and wine
to the most eveolved concepts of AATMA SAMARPANAM PRAPATTI ETC.,
5. Christians still offer only wine and meat to him making him animalistic.
7. If the arguments are proper they dont stand chance, all we have to do is put pawns in media, paper and stage to propagate our views. The way they manage and attack we will take them.
