* Ok, so a Govt-Funded "Beggar" (independant big-re-think-tank) -- researching BEST truth .. cracking the codes (for all) to best lifestyle and all-around solution?  For the good of all the people in general?

OM is the transcendental sound vibration chanted before commencing every Vedic activity. TAT also is synonymous with the brahman as it signifies infallible, perfection and auspiciousness.

* http://krishna.org/ctfote/varnash.html :

The brahmana's position is that of an unpaid adviser to the king or government. The business of the brahmana is to understand the Vedic Scriptures and be expert in applying them in different places and at different times.

* http://prabhupadabooks.com/sb/7/11/14 :

Of the six occupational duties of the brāhmaṇas, three are compulsory—namely, worship of the Deity, study of the Vedas and the giving of charity. In exchange, a brāhmaṇa should receive charity, and this should be his means of livelihood. A brāhmaṇa cannot take up any professional occupational duty for his livelihood. The śāstras especially stress that if one claims to be a brāhmaṇa, he cannot engage in the service of anyone else; otherwise he at once falls from his position and becomes a śūdra.

* vedabase.net/sb/3/1/8/en2 :

A brahmana, ksatriya or vaisya will not accept employment for his livelihood under any circumstances.

It is said "kalo sudra sambhavah", "In the age of Kali everyone is a sudra."

This is the biggest problem! Every sudra wants to be called a Brahmin!

By accepting the Gayatri mantra from a bonafide Guru one becomes a Brahmana, while by getting the Hare Krsna mantra from a bonafide Guru one becomes a Vaisnava. Just as a Vaisnava is much more exalted than a Brahmana, similarly the Hare Krsna mantra is much more potent than the Gayatri mantra.

To ensure that the brahmanas stay free from the pursuit of power, wealth, and prestige, and that their work is, as far as possible, without self-interest, brahmanas do not receive a salary for teaching, but rather depend on charity and begging. They don’t accumulate wealth beyond what they need to live. The brahmanas depend fully on the Supreme Lord, and the other varnas support them for their valuable service.

Speculations from Greg:

1. Downloading of "saintly" qualities / to share?
2. Research of BEST truth?
3. Thanksgiving? (not Turkeys, loving exchanges?)

Mmn.  Back to finding something we can all agree on?
