Dear Swamiji, A brahmin marriage is going on…Bride is getting blessings from her family members touching her head. Suddenly priest said brothers wife should not touch on head as she is a nair lady. She felt hurt and insulted in public. No body supported her. Later she said we get blessing from our teachers of different caste, most of bride’s friends are from other religion and they are touching her. Priest has no problem on these. She said we are living in 20th century but still untouchability prevail in our soceity in one form or other. When others bless touching her head, she alone can bless without touching head. What is your opinion on this. Pls advs..

First of all we need to understand who is a real Brahmin. It’s not the one who does priesthood for living or chants mantras. It is one who has “brahmajnanam” or one who realizes that God resides in everyone and everything. Such a person would know insulting another being is equal to insulting God. If they study Maneesha panchakam by Adi Sankaracharya, they will understand their mistake. Bhagavatham gives an instance where Krishna was insulted by priests. (Vipra patni moksham). Forgive and ignore them…… pray that they attain Brahmajnanam and become real Brahmins. Hari Om.
