Dear Sir, thanks a lot for this wonderful video. It is mentioned in this story that 'only brahmins were allowed to seek the knowledge of brahman'. The great sages including Vyasa, Viswamitra, and Janaka were all were not brahmins by birth. But, they possessed 'brahminical qualities' which is essential for taking the path of Jnana-Yoga. I have read that Brahman can be realized by several paths and Jnana Yoga is just one among them. Thus, even a farmer can realize Brahman through his work. Thank u

@sonny19xx Manu created the custom of caste, where each professional and his famiy and descendents will follow the same caste( profession). There was nothing "selfish" in this. This is called extreame professionalism.

[vedicshlokas]

Sometimes Satyaloka, the planet in which Brahmā resides, is also called Brahmaloka. But Brahmalokaḥ sanātanaḥ is not the same as the Satyaloka planetary system. This Brahmaloka is eternal, whereas the Satyaloka planetary system is not eternal. And to distinguish between the two, the adjective sanātana has been used in this case. According to Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī, this Brahmaloka is the loka or abode of Brahman, or the Supreme Lord.

[vedicshlokas]

Brahmalokaḥ sanātanaḥ —eternal spiritual planets is Vaikuṇṭha, the kingdom of God, which is sanātana, or eternal, and is therefore not exactly like the material creations. The virāṭ universal form of the Lord is an imagination for the material world. It has nothing to do with the spiritual world, or the kingdom of God.

great story. the brahmins changed the customs to suit their selfish interests. there is nothing in the scriptures to show that only brahmins can learn upanishads. thanks grandpakanai. even one of the upanishads says that there is no need to follow any customs or to have any show or pomp to realize self.
