Varna and Gothra - in two lines

Jai Guru,

Definitions of Varna & Gotra in one line:-

1. Varna is a grouping of varities of similar inborn instincts.

Notes:
- Satva Guna inborn instincts= Vipra Varna ; Rajas Guna inborn instincts= Kshtriya Varna ; Rajas-Tamas Guna inborn instincts= Vaishya Varna ; Tamas Guna inborn instincts= Shudra Varna

- Varna is by birth and can NOT be changed by a person in his lifetime, come what may. However, if a family-lineage acquires the attributes of the immediate higher varna for 7 consecutive generations then from the 7th generation that lineage will change to that higher varna. An acquired instinct takes 7 generations to become an inborn instinct.
- Not only human beings, rather the entire material creation has originated in these 4 different Varnas, including planets,universes,
soil,animals, plants,birds, bees & all macro & micro-orgnaisms.

2. Gotra is a Rishi lineage.

Notes:-
- All human beings ( in fact all jeevas) are progeny of certain Rishis. Progeny of a Gotra share the same blood and are blood-relatives. They never marry among themselves as it will amount to inbreeding.

-Gotra is also by birth, and can not be changed in a person's lifetime.

These are NOT mythology, rather hardcore science.

rgds,
Yashendra

Thanks for such a nice post. I have a doubt. Before few days I read in Alochana Prasanga that Gothra can be either by birth or by krusti(Through Guru). 1st one is very clear but what about the second one? How can gothra be caried from guru?
