Indian Questions: Is religion conversion accepted as per Vedas?
Swami Ram Swarup: Vedas have not even made any present religion/sects etc. In Vedas, there is only one religion i.e., of human beings. Thereafter, four class (varnnas in Hindi) are stated which are based on present life deeds and not by birth. Those varnnas are Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and shudra.
In this connection, Yajurved mantra 31/11 refers, explanation of which is explained below:-
“BRAHMANNOASYA MUKHMASEED BAHU RAJANAYAH KRITAH,
UROO TADSYA YADVAISHYAH PADBHYAAM SHUDRO AJAAYAT.”
(Yajurveda mantra 31/11)
Oh! Aspirant (ASYA) in this God’s universe (BRAHMANNAHA) the learned of Vedas and who has realised God (MUKHMASEET) is supreme like a mouth i.e., the knower of Vedas and Almighty God is respectable in this world like a mouth and he is called Brahmin. (BAHU) he who is powerful i.e., has powerful arms (KRITAH) he has been made (RAJANYAH) kshatriye (Tad) he in this universe (ASEET) is (VAISHYAH) is called (Vaishya) i.e., businessman (YAT) Who (UROO) does deeds like (UROO) thighs i.e., he has the power in his thighs to travel here and there quickly for business. (PADBHYAAM) having qualities of service and without pride. (AJAAYAT) generates (SHUDRAH) the man who has no education and good qualities, etc.
