    • hare krishna ,krishna prabhu
      but this varna dependent not upon janma but karma is only for the purpose for serving krishna but during marriages you have to marry within your own castes..

    • how i can understand i m brahman or other varn. such condition what about our progeny?
      • As per Shrimad Bhagwatam 7.11.35 :

        "If one shows the symptoms of being a brahmana, kshatriya, vaishya or a shudra, even if he has appeared in a different class, he should be accepted according to those symptoms of classification."

        In the Mahabharata, Yudhishthira says that it is difficult to find out the cast of persons on account of the mixture of castes. Men beget offspring in all sorts of women. So conduct is the only determining feature of caste according to the sages.

        Lord says in Bhagvad Gita 4.13, :

        "According to the three modes of material nature and the work associated with them, the four divisions of human society are created by Me. And although I am the creator of this system, you should know that I am yet the nondoer, being unchangeable."

        Dharma of Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and shudras :

        Peace, Self control, Austerity, Purity , Forgiveness, Simplicity, Knowledge ,Vision is the dharma of Brahmanas. 

        Valour, Impressiveness, firmness ,skill, not fleeing while at war, generosity , leadership is the dharma of Kshatriyas.

        Agriculture, cow protection , trading is the dharma of Vaishyas.

        Serving the above four varnas is the dharma of shudras.
