The Varnashram System

The Inner Varnashram:

SHARIR (Body) is SHUDRA (The Worker).
BUDDHI (Intellect) is VAISHYA (The Businessperson).
ATMABAL (Will Power) is KSHATRIYA (The Warrior).
ATMA (Soul) is BRAMHIN (The Enlightened).

The Yoga Varnashram:

HATHA YOGA = SHUDRA = BODY (Sharir)
GYANA YOGA = VAISHYA = INTELLECT (Buddhi)
RAJ (Tapasya) YOGA = KSHTRIYA = WILL (Atmabal/Manobal)
BHAKTI YOGA = BRAMHIN = SOUL (Anand)

A purified Body produces purified intellect.
Purified Intellect generates purified Thoughts.

Purified Thoughts instigates purified Actions.

Purified Action surfaces purified Devotion.
