ACTUAL QUESTION FROM A GIRL DEVOTEE:
“Hello Anna, Thank you for everything.. I have no elder brother, you are literally like my elder brother.. one more doubt I have, if you have karma of getting married outside caste, then come what may, it will happen outside the caste only? one Astrologer told me, so is it like, I myself is a vaishnav, will I not get married in the same caste then, something like that.. please reply..”
REPLY:
Yes. It is absolutely right. It is possible to change the karma of Intercaste marriage.
But, in actual classification, there are only four classes – Brahmana (vedic people), Kshatriya (protectors), Vaishya (business persons) and Sudra (working class).
In every above classifications, the people created sub sects.
(What are the duties of husband in a marriage life? READ HERE!)
Among the above four classes of people, there are many sections also, based on their following of religious sects such as saivaits, vaishnavits, advaitis, dvaitis, visishtathvaitis, etc, etc.
In addition to this, there are thousands of birth based castes also that I do not like to classify and all of you know them.
There are 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes in India, each related to a specific occupation.
Every community has different Kula, Gothra, god, etc., and claims that they come under the succession of a certain rishi kula. That means, every community considers a rishi as the initiator of their kula.
Every caste has their own preferences in their life. That is why, this much of differences between the different communities in India.
When a girl or boy marries from another section/ caste, they feared that there may be difference in the life style of the both.
So as to have the similar preferences in their life, the practice of marrying within the same caste originated.
(Wife Vs Parents- whom to choose when the wife does not tolerate the presence of your parents? READ HERE!)
The problem started only when this aspect was insisted compulsorily. If a boy and girl from different community have the same preferences in their life, they should be allowed to marry. But, this was not allowed by the parents and community people.
Actually, a boy and a girl can marry if they have same preferences in their life. This should do good for them. But, this is not happening that causes difficult situations for those boys and girls.
Another problem is, who should decide that both the boys and girls have same preferences?
In many cases, the boys and girls fail to judge properly the opponent because of inexperience.
In many other cases, the parents judge the boys or girls wrongly.
With the advancing kaliyuga, many Love marriages are decided based on their financial status, job, attractive outlook, etc.
Hence these problems in our society.
That is why, because of these wrong judgements, the failures in marriages exist in both love marriages and arranged marriages.
If the situation is like this, how can karma play a role in these inter caste marriages?
(What karma gave me a wife who had sexual relations with lover before our marriage? READ HERE!)
This can be explained as given below:
Karma does not decide whether a person is going to marry from this section or that section. It just indicates that a boy or girl will marry a person of totally different nature, especially of lower status because of his/ her wrong judgement.
Karma indicates through the horoscope that this girl or boy will violate her/his family customs and hence face some challenges / defamation in her/his life.
Since we have no scale to decide the family custom, the caste is taken as the scale to judge whether that girl or boy follows family custom in her/ his marriage.
To make it more clear, let a girl be in a community “A”. She is expected to marry a boy from the same community “A”. If she obeys the custom, she is praised by others. This is shown in the horoscope that there will be no issues or challenges in their marriage.
Contrarily, if that girl of community “A” marries a boy of another community “B”, she is objected by others or commented or gossiped by others. They are forced to live with an image that she has married violating the family customs. This is shown in her horoscope that she will face some issues and challenges in her marriage.
Therefore, the indication of the horoscope is that a girl or boy will marry a boy or girl of similar customs or different customs. That’s all.
Since it is judged based on the caste, we call it as Inter Caste Marriage.
Karma of marrying a person of lower or higher social status is now understood as the Karma of Intercaste mariage.
This has become a custom in this society.
Is it right?
In some cases, marrying within the same caste succeeds whereas in some other cases, the same scale fails.
Why?
Because, in this advancing kaliyuga, every person has a mix of qualities and preferences in their life.
(Should a wife not divorce even a drinking, smoking and abusing husband? READ HERE!)
A Brahmana who is expected to lead a simple life preaching the scriptures, go to jobs and earn and hence lose brahminical status.
Now a days, all the people have almost the same preferences in their life, ie, becoming wealthy.
Therefore, the caste system is losing its grip and hence any boy is able to marry any girl if he finds her suitable in his own considerations based on beauty, money, status, etc.
That is why, now a days, problems arise in the marriages of both the categories of the same caste and inter caste marriages.
Now a days, the scale of community is diminishing and the scale of beauty, money, status, etc, are dominating.
Hence, we are marching towards SAME STATUS MARRIAGES instead of SAME CASTE MARRIAGES.
Then, how can they face their karma of intercaste marriage?
The karma too has changed its way of creating problems in the marriage life. Earlier, it created problems through the castes. Now, it creates the problems between the couples through sexual and financial differences.
That is why, there are many divorces because of status and sex differences.
Now, the karma network has only the following options:
(1) Whether to make the marriage successful.
(2) Whether to allow the marriage life to continue with some issues.
(3) Whether to break the marriage after a certain period.
(Are marriages made in heaven? Should a girl trust a boy who says that he will marry her ONLY IF he gets job (OR) destiny permits? READ HERE!)
Based on these available options, the marriages are made successful or failure.
This is what happening now a days.
Therefore, the extract of my reply is:
Punishments vary according to the changed pattern of crimes followed by the people.
Similarly, the karma network too changes the types of the punishments based on the pattern of crimes that change from time to time with the advancing kaliyuga.
Hope you are clear with my simplified explanation for whether it is possible to change the karma of Intercaste marriage. how the karma network too changes its punishments based on the change of life style of the people.
If you find a guy suitable for you in all the genuine considerations, marry him convincing your parents. But, do not commit mistakes in judging the person. This is the crucial stage in your life.
If you have good karma, this judgement will be right.
Or, if you have negative karma, this judgement will be wrong.
How to avoid these failures?
However, if you have sufficient detachment in expecting the results, put your faith in God and proceed with the choice of your parents. Follow a devotional way of life. Then, accept whatever happens as per your karma.
For the devotees, the effects of karma will be bearable.
Hope you are now clear about how to change the karma of Intercaste marriage.
