[Advaita-l] janmana jaayate shUdraH

[sri parasukhananda nadha]

 Dear sir, 

          The Varna vyavastha in our country is totally disturbed.
It is high time to organize a seminar with all the highly learned pundits, and write a new Smriti, according to the recent social and economical conditions of the society.  This can be the duty of the vishwa Hindu Parishad to bring all the sects of the Hindu Dharma to one platform, for which all the aachaaryaas should cooperate.
