Description
The issue of division of castes and Varnas is a very deep subject, but one which has often been terribly misunderstood. An all-pervasive confusion about its deep secret has been the root of most of the bitterness and untold sufferings and injustices perpetrated in its name. It is in the light of Sri Aurobindo that we gain a true perspective on how the root cause of all the above misunderstandings arise these from the inability to distinguish between two systems of the fourfold division: one that is qualitative and the other hierarchical.
This book explores the fundamental spirit of Indian culture and the rationale behind the Varna system. It discusses the principle of Chaturvarna as presented in the Gita, the profound truths about the Varna and caste systems as articulated by Swami Vivekananda, and the historical reasons for the misunderstandings that have emerged regarding the original Varna system.
