Re: Why is demigod worship different from worshiping paramatma
And we Dravidians were one of the earliest worshipers of Sri Krishna/Mayon/Mal
Prabhupāda: Dravidian culture. Dravida. They are non-Āryans. Just like these Africans, they are not Āryans. Now they are mixing up with Europeans and Americans. In India, it was, one from the higher section, brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, they will be fair complexion. Śūdras, black. So if a brāhmaṇa becomes black, then he's not accepted as brāhmaṇa. Kāla bahu (?). And if a śūdra becomes fair, then he's to be know that he's not pure śūdra. Although we do not take very, but, this brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, by birth, but still, we have seen, those who are coming purely from high caste family, their behavior and śūdras behavior is different. The family culture. And the spiritual culture lost, still, the family culture keeps them separate.Prabhupāda: Maybe. Actually Aryan civilization was central Asia. Some of them went towards India and some of them went towards Europe. Indo-European stock that is called.
No, no. Uncivilized, just like aborigine.
@Aryavartian
My post is only addressed to you.
The above quotes are from Iskcon sites. The meanings are clear to me at least and I believe they are to you too. Now let me ask you a question. What is causing you the pain.1. That prabhupada said Aryans have come from central Asia. This might pain certain Indians and a particular group of people. 2. That prabhupada said dravidians are non-aryans like Africans and aborigines and later calls them uncivilized. 3. Or do you as person/humanitarian feel the pain from human point of view that any one should not be called as uncivilized based on his birth, whether that be aborigines or Africans ?
When the light has risen, there is no day, no night, neither existence nor non-existence; Siva alone is there. That is the eternal, the adorable light of Savitri, - and the ancient wisdom proceeded thence (Svetasvatara Upanishad IV-18). :)
