Varna Dharma
? In works we have covered Tradesmen, Priests and Farmers.
? Once when temple is built and jewels are kept in temple¡­who will protect
  and defend it, along with temple?
? Warrior class not only protects temple, but also the people who built it
  and whose livelihood depends on it for their economic and spiritual life.
? A glorious social set up(when we traded in gold/silver coins) on the basis
  of division of labour like honey bees, everyone is respected for the work
  and each one depends on the other.
? Look at Mylapore temple and see how its surrounding small shops have
  grown multi-storied complexes¡­you will see such examples in your own
  towns/villages¡­
? Its not merely Hindu religious tradesmen who keep shops near temple, but
  even non Hindu tradesmen keep their shops near Hindu temple.
? But who is responsible for the current mess we find ourselves now?
