Role of a Kshatriya in Kali Yuga
      10/05/05 05:48 AM

I am not interested in hearing debates or arguments over the "caste system" here except in relation to my question. I believe in the true varna system where one should be of the caste with which one is a)qualified for and b)interested in. Even though pretty much everyone in Kali Yuga is either a Shudra or actually below the Shudra class due to demonic behavior, assuming that one can fulfill the role of a higher caste, I have some questions.

In such an insane world, what are the best ways a Kshatriya in this Kali Yuga should fulfill his duty? How should a Kshatriya prepare physically, mentally, and spiritually? I ask this because there is no traditional battle scene any more and you generally don't have much warning when there is a situation that has to be dealt with. So what are some good ways a Kshatriya can train and prepare for any situations in which his duty requires him to act?

To put it more simply if a Kshatriya's duty is to be a protector of the people, how should one go about doing that? Please don't respond with "join the police or military" since there is none that isn't corrupt. Thanks.
