Namaste swamiji, Once you told i your discourse that it is not the birth which decides a person is a brahmin or not, it is the karma which decides ones caste. Then how can we consider Aswadhama as a brahin who did such a cruel thing that he killed all the children of pandavas. When Arjuna tried ti kill him Krishna adviced him saying that he is a brahmin and don’t kill him. Is it Duryodhana or Krishna who cursed Aswadhama. Someone told me that Duryodhana never regretted i whatever bad things happened in Pandava’s life. So Krishna cursed Aswadhama.

Dear Usha,
Krishna never cursed Aswathama; it was done by Duryodhana.
Quality of mind determines the caste. It is elaborated in 18th chapter of Geeta.
Even Krishna says that Chaithanyam is based on Guna Karma, not by birth.
Hari Om!
