Dear elde?timeback I raised the question of people performing Upanayanam for the intercaste born boys either to a brahmin boy's or a brahmin girl's.I was told by this forum thst it is not permitted as per Shastras.
But some vadhyars, it appears, say, that, the boy can be adopted by a BRAHMIN (?) family and then he can have his Brahmopadesam!!! Is it a Ghar Wapsi? Is it permitted in our shastras? Just by adoption, overnight, can the boy become a brahmin? Which shastra permits this?
I seek clarification from learned elders.Please participate in this and answer me.Won't this dilute our caste?
Awaiting response,
