no brahmins and ksatriyas
|
Imported quote 23018 Prabhupada: They were not properly doing their duties. So Parasurama said, "I will kill all of them." Formerly, ksatriyas were guided by the brahmanas, even Maharaja Yudhisthira, all the rules and regulations. But the brahmanas were the legislative assembly, and ksatriyas were the executive, and the vaisyas, productive, and sūdras, worker. At the present moment there is no director, neither executive. Some of them are only productive, and some of them are worker, most of them. Therefore it is said, kalau sūdraḥ-sambhavaḥ. In the Kali-yuga, mostly all the people are sūdras, because they are worker. [break] Everyone can be purified, even the canḍalas. Kirata-hūnandhra-pulinda-pulkasa abhira-sumbha yavanaḥ khasadayaḥ [SB 2.4.18]. Yavanaḥ khasadayaḥ. Yavanas means these European groups, and khasadayaḥ, Mongolian group: China, Japan. So Japanese were there in Vedic age also. Kalayavana. Kalayavana fought with Krsna.
