What Does Vedic Culture Mean When They Say You are Born into a Caste, and its Relation with the 14 Face Rudraksha

Hi Learned Members

You read in the scriptures about the caste system and the ancients have been adhering to this idea on how it works in practice in the sense that you are born into a caste. The moderns say you can learn up the skills of the caste and in a way they are right in the interpretation of the scriptures.

But what the moderns forget is that you are also BORN INTO THE SKILLS OF THE CASTE, which you can glean from the Vedic Astrology Chart, and then there is a better match to the caste once you are born.

One of the websites have credited the 14 bead Rudraksha as representing 14 skills. When you wear this Rudraksha, you can perform all the tasks for the various caste. Even a Shudra can undertake a task as a preacher. That is why this Rudraksha has been credited by Shiva that whoever wears it, is like Lord Shiva himself walking on the plains of the Earth. It is absolutely divine and one is not bound by the earthly tasks which one is doing, which would normally confine the station of life of other human beings.

The 14 face Rudraksha is also credited as representing Hanuman and this bead especially shows his powers of meditation. Hanuman is thus a super human being, able to accomplish many feats, all by the act of the will of the mind.

And don't forget Shiva reincarnated as Hanuman. I found this out from a website.

If you think about it, both of them love to meditate, and both has the capacity to be a fierce deity, but they are very respectful towards other deities generally and compassionate towards human suffering.

Shiva is Sun and Hanuman is Mars. But Rama is also Sun and Rama is Vishnu's reincarnation.

Mars worship Sun in Vedic Astrology. Mars is commander in chief and Sun is king. So Hanuman is always around when Rama is around. Yet Hanuman, by virtue of the Shiva linkage and Shiva representing the Sun, shows that Mars has a lot of common characteristics with the Sun. Like both are fire planets and both planets' metals can be copper.

Shiva and Hanuman
Yes, Hanuman is an Amsha of Shiva. We have a mantra related to it “Om Ham Hanumate Rudratmakaya Hum Phat Svaha”.

Since Shiva had no opportunity to show is love and devotion towards Vishnu, he satisfies this desire by reincarnating as Hanuman. Hence we say don’t ever distinguish between Shiva and Vishnu.

I believe that both has a potential to turnaround the ill effects of any planets, if we have a great devotion and true prayers to them.
