Who is an AchAryA ?

Who is an Aachaaryaa ?

As per the definition in Vedas and Upanishads, an Acharya is one who has written explanation and notes for the sacred book "Brahma Sootra". Only 3 people did that most difficult and daunting task.

1) Kaladi born Aadhi Sankaracharya - Advaita
2) Ramanujacharya - Vishisht Advaita
3) Madhvacharya - Dvaita

No other person who came after them / those in the Kanchi Mutt or for that matter any other mutt were able to comprehend and write explanatory notes for the Brahma Sootra. So only those 3 people can be called as acharyas in the true technical sense. There is no other aachaaryaa among Hindus as of now.

The point is now a days no one reads this Brahma Sootra and the explanatory notes. The contents of these sacred books have not reached the public till now. Will some one do it ?

By the way ladies and gentlement did any of these questions came in ur mind ?

1) Which sacred book of Hindus / God / religious leaders advise people to divide themselves as Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras?

2) Which sacred book of Hindus / God / religious leaders advise people to subdivide themselves as chettiar, iyer, iyengar, mudaliyaar, naadaar, naidu, nair, pillai, rao, reddy,,,,,,,,, and all the subsects within each of the castes ?

3) Which sacred book of muslims / God / religious leaders advise people to divide themselves as Shiya, Sunni, Shafi? Did Allah or Prophet Muhammad said so to divide all the mulsims based on those names ?

4) Which sacred book of Christians / God / religious leaders advise people to divide themselves as Catholic(Roman, Syrian, Jacobian,,,,,,,,etc), Protestants, Penthacostae ? Did Christ or St.Peter, or St.John or any one else told us to divide christians like this ?

If none of the Gods / religious leaders have told like this to separate ourselves then y the hell are v differentiating people based on so many caste names within a single religion itself.

If Gods have not created these divisions among people within each religion then who the hell has created so many divisions in every religion and y no one raises the above questions 1 - 4

(Especially Hinduism is the worst of all religions today with so many castes and subcastes and sub groups. The concept of "untouchability" can be seen in villages in Tamilnadu even now. )

If Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Vinyayaka, Muruga, Shakthi, Lakshmi, Allah, Prophet Muhammad, Jesus Christ, Paul, Peter etc have not told us to divide every one like this then why are we following all these caste based differences under each religion ?

Why should we be afraid of this idiotic society which created all these castes among people in all religions, and follow this casteism even in this scientific era ?

A patient who s to be operated --- does he checks whether the doctor is a Cherian(christian) or Siva Kadaatcham(hindu) or Akbar Kausar(muslim) ? Does he checks whether the blood donor is a hindu / muslim / christian? In such situations all these differences are conveniently ignored and all docs are looked upon as Gods who are saviours of life.

So my dear young unmarried ladies and gentlemen --- aadhalinaal kaadhal seyveer --- so start loving. By this process only we can remove all these caste differences and create a new world without religions but love. Let us work for one world, one government, one constitution.

Keep thinking and post ur views. Thanx for ur time. vaazhga vaLamudan!
