Dalit Recites Purana
Panauti (Kavre), Aug. 11: Well-known poet late Laxmi Prasad Devkota's adage "man becomes great not by his birth but by his heart" got reflected in real practice when people from all the castes participated and received prasad (blessings) in the Srimad Bhagbad Mahapurana organised by Harka Bahadur Nepali, a Dalit of Panauti Municipality Ward No. 4.
Even the orthodox Hindus and pandits were reported to be present at the Purana.
The preacher and pastor of the Purana Hari Das Darji says that man should be treated as per his deeds but not by his birth.

It's time a dalit became the Mul Bhatta of Pashupati.

Mahakavi was one of the greatest philosopher Nepal has ever seen.
As far as the saying, "man should be treated as per his deeds but not by his birth" goes, I question the logic.
Men should be treated equally no matter what his deeds are. If you treat a destitute or even a criminal badly, it willl only make the matter worse.
Just a thought.

Devkota never said poor or bad should be treated harshly.

Mahakavi Devkota is one my highly respected idols (along with Stephen Hawkings), I can never criticize him.
I was just commenting on the quote by Purana Hari Das Darji (please read the original posting), which is quite common among us, "man should be treated as per his deeds but not by his birth." Ofcourse, Devkota never said that, he puts his words after weighing thrice.
