In this episode, Sri Acharyaji provides explains various aspects of Varna. How is it tied to personality, karma and the three gunas? How does this system, understood from an orthodox perspective, radically differ from the warped perversion known as the caste system? All of this is authoritatively explained via scriptural purport to Lord Sri Krishna's supreme teachings in the Bhagavad Gita (4.13).
