Incredible Hinduism!
In the latest episode of ‘We the People’, someone mentioned that Rama and Krishna were non-Brahmins and Lord Shiva is a chandala (untouchable, outside the caste system). So why is all Hinduism, (contemptuously called by some a Brahmin cult), worshiping non-Brahmin deities?
It might be unbelievable, but in Kerala, where Brahmins alone have been conducting the poojas in all Shiva Temples, prepare the ‘nivadhiam’ (food offerings) for Shiva on behalf of the devotees, but, as I have been given to understand, themselves do not partake of it, as it is meant for a Chandala!
So you see, folks, the dos and don’ts can be quite complex in Hinduism. Still Hinduism survives – nay thrives. Incredible Hinduism!
