Varna of Arab States

August 6, 1995

Q: In what varna, in general, are the Arab states?

They are in ks'attriyan varna, but there are

exceptions to this. The varna which dominates Istanbul, is

not ks'attriyan but vaeshyan. The varna which dominates

Saudi Arabia is vaeshyan but with a strong ks'attriyan

background. The varna which dominates Iran is not

ks'attriyan but vipran. So overall, there is ks'attriyan

varna, but there are many exceptions. Yet the Arab states

have long exhibited an affinity to the ks'attriyan

mentality.
