Who is the KYC?
What does it mean to be a Kshatriya?
Kshatriya literally means "protector of gentle people". Second in the social hierarchy
of the caste system (see Varna), the Kshatriyas were kings and warriors. They were said to
have evolved from the arms of Brahma, signifying that their role in society was the protection
of people and livestock. The Hindus maintain that only a Kshatriya had the right to rule,
though Brahmin rulers are not unknown. They were supposed to be brave and fearless, and to live
and die by a code of honour and loyalty. They could eat meat and drink liquor and their most exalted
death was to die in battle....... more
What is the meaning of Aum?
Aum... Sanskrit word meaning the primordial, eternal divine sound heard in deep
meditation; it represents the three bodies of every human being or the triple divine
qualities: A is the causal body (sound), U is the astral body (vibration), and M
is the physical body (light).
