Thanks Yugi. I was brought up in the generation where we were not allowed to question the pundits or elders. They were the authority. These days the children are making very pertinent enquiries. I see many of the practices after death, especially the giving of gifts, as a means or inventions by Brahmins, who are referred to as Rishis and Gyaanis, for their own personal enrichment. This is what I intend to expose on this thread.

I conducted and Ikscon Hindu wedding in Long Island, New York this past summer and many young Hindus came up to me and thanked me for explaining all procedures during the ceremony. I also took a swipe at the Pandits who are taking the young and educated generation for granted and refusing to address their concerns.
We will loose this great dharma if we do not reform it. Keep up the fight for reform. Protect Dharma and Dharma will protect you.
