 Dear Felix 
 
> This caste division phenomena seem very fundamentalistic 
It does exist in India.  I can do nothing about it. 
 
> exploring kundalini was relegated to persons of a lesser light by birth 
Mostly, non-brahmins devoted to Siva, follow the kundalini yoga 
Their spiritual Gurus guide them along this path 
 
And, I am not sure whether such a Realised Saivaite Guru exists now in India 
The one True Saivaite Guru adept in Kundalini yoga is 
Satguru Bodhinatha Veylan Swami of Kauai Adheenam, Kauai, Hawaii, USA 
 
And, socially brahmins are said to be superior 
Centuries ago, Brahmins could have been the custodians of true spirituality 
 
Today, they are a degenerated lot 
And, I happen to have been born in a Brahmin community 
 
> the religious freedom and the individual choice. 
Largely religion follows the surrounding here in India 
But, there is hardly anything worth there to truly connect you inwardly to 
the Spirit 
 
So, if you begin to enquire, you will fall out with the surrounding, 
and you will begin to know the ocean of information on true spirituality in 
India 
 
> Do you have a choice to follow your heart in your present situation, or 
> are the choices you possess some sort of familiarity contained by the 
ancient traditions of your surrounding? 
I have fallen out with my surrounding because I dared to enquire freely 
about 17 years ago, when my Kundalini awakened 
That is why, although a Brahmin by birth, I know the Kundalini Yoga normally 
known only to non-brahmin Saivaites 
Basically, I am unable to believe in any casteism.  And, I am without 
prejudice 
 
Thanks and kind regards 
RK Shankar
