Varna of Yugoslavia

November 12, 1994

Q: Is Yugoslavia characterized by the same varna dominance as the rest of Eastern Europe?

Regarding Croatian area in Yugoslavia, it is primarily ks'attriyan society. It is not by nature shudra. You see, different fractions are warring one against the other in a ks'attriyan fashion. It is the spirit of the people to fight for their home land and to take very much pride in their particular region. Their approach is ks'attriyan by nature, by varna. This area will soon enter dominanance by vipras. The ks'attriyas are dominant in this region. The Croatian mentality, the southern Serbia, is one of ks'attriyan spirit. It is ks'attriyan spirit which has dominanted for some centuries. Though there have been conquerors, those conquerors were fought. They were not accepted by the people. And it is the tendency of these areas to be warring one against the other. This is a ks'attriyan society, not a shudran society. There was some strong entrance into the beginning of vaeshyan approach as well. But that was curbed by the onslaught of communism, and since the communist domination, which was a temporary overlay, the society has returned to its original stance which is ks'attriyan with a strong vipran element which will be growing. Solutions of the future will be more vipran.
