He said again and again that his mission was to bring the teaching of Guru Dev
to the whole world. And that's what he did. A unique example of how a student
can fulfill the wishes of his Master and help push a planet into a new
direction in doing so.
and exactly what does that mean given the fact that the caste system was a
bullshit deal set up by the brahmins to ensure their continued domination in
their society?

The levels of the caste system seem to play out in nature BUT people are
not locked into any particular caste. It has more to do with dharma.
I've heard Indians lecture that anyone who pursues intellectual

Technically, what you're saying is correct. Intellectuals could be considered
as brahmins.
Except for the ones who behave like sudras. ;-)

MJ,
The caste system was originally created to divide the work in society based on
the person's inherent and natural gifts for certain skills. Brahmins are
supposed to perform the priestly duties for society. They can come from any
family in society as long as they are intellectually and
definitely a few kshatriyas (-:

so I amend my remarks to say that it got derailed AFTER the brahmins shanghaied
it for their pleasure - the Laws of Manu were a watershed for that I believe.

Hey Michael (or anyone else)
I skimmed the article, but are you familiar with Maharishi's commentary about
the first word of Rig Veda, Agni? And if so, do you think it's just a bunch
of BS. This is not a trick question. I'm not saying that it was a stroke of
genius. I'm not making any
I have no idea - I just like this guy's writing about being Indian and that's
about it. I have major doubts about M's knowledge - I am getting info recently
that he was a master at getting info out of a variety of people and passing it
off as his own. As to the esoteric nature of what is
I understand. I might suggest that there was a side of him that you missed.

I've read comments from famous gurus/spiritual leaders in India who knew
Gurudev and then heard Maharishi speak, and they basiclly said he did a good
