[Advaita-l] mleccha-s not eligible to take Hinduism??

[Sunil Bhattacharjya]

Dear Ravi,

Can you quote any verse from any scripture in support of  what you said. Parashara has not said no to girl's upanayana.

Dear Sunil and all,

Harita Smriti refers toUpanayana females in prior kalpa not current one. Praveen could probably confirm re: Sweedish man with yagnopaveeta and Rangapriya Swami

I think it is the nature of sukshuma sarira. I also agree that jati is an indicator of varna. However, I point out the historical fact that jatis have changed. Mandal Commission reported 3000 jatis whereas Manu Smrti reported 265 (if my memory serves right). Manu himself talks about creation of new jatis as a result intermingling of Varnas. He also gives the seven generation rule for a jati to change varna  through matrimony. There will always be four Varnas. There can be countless jatis and madhams (religions). Before Mohammad came, there was no Islam. But the four Varnas were there and will be forever. Humans will belong to one of these four Varnas.

I know that some traditional scholars hold the position that paradesis can't get  adhikara for vaidhika karma. It is for them to show evidence based on shruti and smrti. All the countries described in the sruti and smrti had all the our Varnas thriving. AFAIK, There is no rule prohibiting paradesis whereas there are rules prohibiting sudras. Without showing the rules, you can't argue that dharma is violated.
