Doesn't caste determine eligibility? How would an orthodox Shankaracharya like Brahmananda Saraswati waver from that? Ksatriya's go into business. Sure he may have gained realization from his devotion, but to assume he was privy to Sri Vidya knowledge doesn't add up. He wasn't brahmin and it has been suggested that mahesh's caste may not have even been that.
