Today is Adi Shankaracharya Jayanti .
Adi Shankara was an 8th century Philosopher reported to have born in the Kalady town of Eranakulam District in Kerala.
He was born when there was a complete destruction of Truth , Morality and Culture.
Adi Shankara's teachings are based about unity of soul and Brahman.
Adi Shankara led to the teachings of Advaita Vedanta.
Advaita Vedanta literally means "Not Two"
The two here is 1. Soul 2. God .
His teachings emphasized that the true self ( Soul ) and God is one and the same , they are not two.
Let me explain Advaita Vedanta in simple words :
Bhagavadgita , Chapter 4 , Shloka 13
Pls read this very carefully.
cāturvarṇyaṃ mayā sṛṣṭaṃ guṇakarmavibhāgaśaḥ
tasya kartāram api māṃ viddhy akartāram avyayam
चातुर्वर्ण्यं मया सृष्टं गुणकर्मविभागशः ।
तस्य कर्तारमपि मां विद्ध्यकर्तारमव्ययम् ॥४-१३
Krishna says Arjuna that
"The four fold chatur varna caste system was created by me (Krishna) and is based on Karma means "your actions " and it is not based on your "condition of birth"
1. Brahman - The one who is learned all Vedas and Upanishads and has realised that Krishna exists in his soul /Brahman means soul.
2. Kshatriyas - Those who fight like soldiers for Truth.
3. Vaishyas - Merchants , one who is engaged in Business and money - selfish actions and lack of wisdom.
4. Shudras - Labourers with lack of Knowledge
Meaning :
Bhagavadgita /Krishna want every man to attain the position of Brahman
According to Bhagavadgita , every man/woman is a born Shudra until he/she is initiated into reading Vedas and become a Brahman .
According to Gita , Brahman means soul means God and every man regardless of his birth can attain this position of Brahman if he practice what is right in behavior and actions.
Brahman means Wisdom .
What i want to claim is that according to Bhagavadgita one has to attain the status of Brahman by his pure actions and education and reading of Vedas.
Brahman is not caste it is a position one has to achieve in his lifetime with his values and ethics and it is not related to a condition one is born into , it is related to his actions and behavior.
Friends , if you think iam too much influenced by my mother's family , then let me tell you a bit more about my Father's Family!
Many people in the recent past have told me - "Iam doing Drama , or iam Dramatic " .
there is a reason for that !
My father's family background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._P._Pillai although we are now no longer in touch with any one from my father's family as generations passed.
Yes iam dramatic..
I act a little , try to be dramatic to entertain people .
I act a little , try to be dramatic to make people laugh
I act a little , trying to convey people what is right and wrong and how to live a valuable life in a dramatic way...
I act a little , try to be dramatic for my followers from Japan , Singapore , Malaysia , Germany and Russia , UK ,UAE and France!
But what i dont do is -- "Act and play drama to insult and harm people"
Today a lot of people spend more than 95% of their day playing real life drama.
As Shakespeare said - "All the world is a stage"
-play drama for marriage and love,
-play drama for property,
-play drama for Job and Promotion,
-play drama for position and title as we see in Politics.
-play drama for reputation...the leading Business men
-play drama for money...
-play drama for woman and sex..
-play drama to hurt people, insult them , dominate them.
Today Everything in the world is fake and truth itself is missing
Today to all my fellow foreigners i want to introduce you all to a beautiful Kannada Song from the movie "Ranganayaki". The real artistic song .
