The D@rk Side of BRAHMIN

[@arindamchaudhary9]

I am a Bengali non Brahmin born in the General category... I learned the scriptures myself with the help of eminent Gurus and their books, and perform my own yajnas, pujas myself including our most elaborate Durga Puja which even many of the inexperienced Brahmin family born men doesn't dare to. Interestingly, not a single Brahmin has ever asked me "Why are you performing pujas, you are not a Brahmin". It's often people from other communities including my own relatives who have asked the same!

[@bhavani80]

It's really good question and I am waiting fir an answer for this query from project shivoham

[@venkatakishore8941]

If that woman has a son, he gets to do. If she doesn't have son, her husband need to do. If she doesn't have husband, she can do. Why this job is given to men where possible? Sathras are made for the average human. Average women will get nightmare to watch last rituals. Women are kept at home while men take care of last rituals. Sathras are not final, dhaarma is final. Dharma changes based on situation. Even killing can be dharma. While in general killing isn't dharma, its adhrma. Dharma > sathsra

[@markhill7743]

The Vedas do not say that caste is determined by birth. Rather, Shri Krishna explains in the Bhagavad Gita that a person's caste is determined by "guna" and "karma" (characteristics and actions of the person). the birthright is Kaitava Dharma (deceit religion). In addition, it is explained in the Vedas that in Kali-yuga every person is born as Shudra. A brahmana is one who has realized the Brahman, which means that one has realized that one is not the body but a spiritual soul. Such a person can live in celibacy without any problems and is only sexually active when it comes to fathering a child. In addition, the consciousness of the parents during the conception of the child should be as pure as possible, free from passion (rajaguna) and tamaguna (ignorance). So there are only a few in our age who are allowed to call themselves Brahmana and those who do it anyway even though they don't have the qualifications are nothing but hypocrites and are only deceiving themselves... no good karma for the next life. Hare Krishna! 🙏

[@thereddomitor]

Mindset is what matters in today's day and age. I come from a Havyaka Brahmin family where traditions are respected but at the same time my parents have always taught me to never judge a person based on their background. No restrictions have ever been placed on me making friends with people of other castes and my dad has even made it clear that i can marry anyone i wish to. My non-Brahmin friends are actually more casteist than my Brahmin ones. People opening their minds and removing the caste political angle is what is needed to solve this issue, but ofc that is easier said than done.

[@pranavprabhakar9]

Nobody is born a Brahmin. Do you know Vedas that you call yourself a Brahmin?

[@kbrv89]

@@pranavprabhakar9Yes, nobody is born a brahmin but that's how the constitution identifies you. You cannot become a shudra and obtain a backward caste certificate today just because you don't know the Vedas. Be a little more sensible before making such dumb comments!

[@thereddomitor]

@@pranavprabhakar9 What a stupid comment to make. Whether I am a Brahmin through my actions is irrelevant because I, and every other Hindu in this country is classified into castes on the basis of lineage by the constitution and our census, regardless of the Vedic requirements. Is this wrong, yes, but it is what is. Changing the system is much more difficult than people opening up their minds and working together towards building an inclusive society (ie: the point I was trying to make in the original comment). And just as a matter of fact, i have indeed made an effort towards trying to understand the Vedas. I have started learning Sanskrit for the past few months so that I can grasp the knowledge without the need for too many translations. It will take a long time, perhaps my entire life in order to understand the the vast trove of knowledge held in our Shastras, but I am definitely dedicated towards it.

@@anshupandit4490 That sounds like BS. Brahmin isn't a caste name. Each caste that calls itself Brahmin has its own name. They are not allowed to marry outside that (not even other casts that calls themselves Brahmins). How did these groups(caste isn't right word)? These groups are followers of certain interpretation of Vedas or puranas. They all have their own most valued scripts. They is never been single bramin caste.

[@aimmethod]

Personally, I appreciate the Brahmin community for upholding our civilisational knowledge despite the insurmountable odds Bharath and Sanatana Dharma has faced. Correction, not just Bharath but the whole world................. .............................................................................. If I recollect reading somewhere, there were 36 known major civilistions from real antiquity ( _Abrahamic ones are relatively newer ones, so, as far as I can remember they don't count_ ). All of them perished except in Bharath. We are the only surviving one -- hence, the jealous targetting by outside forces. We are the only living link to the long dead civilisations .......................................................................................................... Military solutions can only take you so far, but the knowledge systems ( _especially the oral transmission knowledge system_ ) have proven to be the most successful ones in preservation of our civilisation, it is time tested as well. .................. ................................................ My only criticism is that rest of the society has been kept out of this knowledge stream and the Brahmin community itself has become ossified. .................................................................. Some dynamism in the community with updation of handling of contemporary issues would revive the knowledge community. ..........................................................Sanskrit as a national language can spread the knowledge outside the community and provide access to classical literature to one and all. It also acts as a glue language to various other Indian languages. ..................................................... Just basic level Sanskrit, not elaborate "granthika" version ( _if there is a difference_ ) would do. While there are pretty good translations in other languages, the ability to access source material would greatly attach one towards the quest for traditional knowledge.

[@JagadguruSvamiVegananda]

*Bhārata. Even though Chapters 19-24 (bar Chapter 22) amply explicates the underlying principle for the NATURAL system of class structure of adult males within society, and for the NATURAL hierarchy of collective humanity, based on the obvious fact that equality is non-existent in the macro sphere, and the fact that human society, as with most animal species, requires specialization in order to properly function, the following Glossary entry has been included simply due to the fact that Bhāratīya (Indian) society has become adulterated by a gross misunderstanding of this NATURAL hierarchical structure over the past few centuries, and the fact that Indians are most likely to comprehend this Holy Scripture. caste: This English term originates from the mid sixteenth century (in the general sense “race, breed”): from Spanish and Portuguese “casta” (“lineage, race, breed”), feminine of “casto” (meaning “pure, unmixed”), from Latin “castus” (meaning “chaste”). Therefore, the term “caste” should NEVER be used instead of “class”, and especially ought not be conflated with the notion of “varna” (literally, “colour”), an ancient Sanskrit word that refers to the natural-born proclivities of adult males and their occupations. As clearly explained in Chapter 19 of this “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, the division of adult males into four social classes (that is, priests, kings, businessmen, and workers) has absolutely naught to do with one’s birth but ENTIRELY dependent upon a man’s innate qualities and the kind of work he is performing (“guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ”, in Sanskrit). Of course, it may seem rather bewildering to consider that a man born to a carpenter, for instance, has the opportunity to break away from his social milieux/circumstances and become a king, for example, but it does happen more often than one may believe. In my own particular case, I was born the son of a working-class man (an aircraft instrument maker, to be precise), yet in my early twenties, became attracted to the monastic life, swiftly becoming a member of the Holy Priesthood, and eventually the current World Teacher Himself. If I had not joined the priesthood, but had decided to devote my adult life to some kind of manual work, such as that of my father, I would still probably have embodied the priestly qualities enumerated in Chapter 20 (since that is my nature) but I could not in all honestly claim to be a priest/guru, because my occupation would have been other than that of a spiritual guide, at the risk of stating the obvious. So, in summary, it is ABSOLUTELY imperative that, in order to claim that any particular man is a member of any particular social class, that he both exemplifies the pertinent qualities of the particular class and actually works in that class (although, at the risk of sounding sophistic, only members of the working class, by definition, work - priests and monarchs, for instance, have a “vocation”). Therefore, there is no such thing as a child or a woman belonging to any social class. As a child, I was not a member of the working class, even though my father was a worker, since, as a child, I did not work, nor was I member of the Priesthood, since I had yet to join the monastery/seminary until I was well into adulthood. Similarly, there is most definitely no such thing, for example, as a “Brahmin* woman”, since, excepting extenuating circumstances, women can not and should not perform male roles. *Brāhmaṇa

[@nagavenkatasreekarkarumanc2848]

You are right. To teach others not only the teacher but the student also should be (capable of) interest in the learning { which is called Jignyasa in Sanskrit}. So that's why some of the students like Ekalavya for example is rejected. It's because of his impatience. If you are a Telugu person then I am telling you to watch the upanyas of Bhagavad Gita by TTD came at Corona time. So Sanskrit is so complicated in it's grammar or poetic meter it is hard to learn it. so, that's why it can't be a national language and this is another reason for the birth of Indian languages.

[@desibigfoot3874]

Dude, restricting learning to one caste or group does not classify as furthering knowledge. Of course there were many bright Brahmins (geniuses, really) but who knows what all progress would have been made if 85% of the population were also educated. If you ask me the slow death of Sanskrit has been at the hand of the Brahmins. Pardon me if my words hurt, but I say it only because I believe it to be fact.

[@rupertbollywood1190]

@@desibigfoot3874 You only need to look around you at the people outside, and how the world looks with democracy, to see that you would not have had the same results if you had let everyone have a hand in guarding sacred knowledge. People lack intelligence and virtue. They just survive from day to day. What's created by the wise can only be sustained by selected people. Naturally, their descendants will also have higher intellect. You get the same effect with horses, dogs, cows and other animals. You can selectively breed traits. In animals, this is called animal husbandry, but its real name is eugenics. Take Indian religions completely out of the equation and let's look at science and maths. In the UK, there are many poor and ignorant white working class people. Those people can take a fully funded (by the taxpayer) degree in maths, and go instantly into a very highly paid job. So why don't they? The problem is ability. Even though there are no entry barriers, they cannot do that degree. Humans are not as smart as you think, so it's necessary to select for positive traits and repress undesirable ones. If you leave breeding in the hands of nature, you get strong humans, with big p3nis, strong disease resistance, big muscles, etc. In classical India they began to select specific traits to specific jobs. Then it was observed that training (education) was mostly father to son. Then it was observed that the children of educated people are naturally brighter and can learn things easier. What use is it to teach a farmer the Vedas? He is the best at farming and his son is strong at wielding farm tools. When you look at teachers' children they are, likewise, smarter than factory worker children, even to this day. This is the reasoning that has brought you the Vedas intact in 2024, memorised by generations of genetically selected people over thousands of years. Just the facts.

It is rare for me to maintain such unwavering attention for extended periods, yet your video held me captivated for an hour and a half. I express my heartfelt gratitude for your courageous exploration of topics often left untouched, presented with an unwavering commitment to truth and impartiality. May the blessings of Lord Shiva continue to illuminate your path. Thank you immensely for your invaluable contributions.

This video came just in time. I was watching some video, where the narrative remain same the caste is originated from 'Casta' & British used it to divide us & blame is on Manusmiriti. I was thinking this discrimination existed even before Buddha period, which is long before Manusmiriti first edition. There are many stories of Buddha's time, where someone was discriminated, defamed & abused. In Buddha Sangha, everybody was equal from king to fisher man. Another dimension of casteism is British created Criminal Caste & Tribe Act of 1871, in which he put all those caste & tribe, who rebels against British & fought for motherland. But, most of the people don't want to acknowledge our filth. Loss of BharatVarsha consciousness, which made us disintegrated before Invaders. Back to 2024, still casteism is prevalent be it matrimony or many stories of my friends. Those were painful story & then i don't defend Hinduism. Not sure, if our 'Vivek Bhuddi' went to wool gathering despite of some much literature we had. But you nailed it perfectly by saying 'learn your tradition' & example of 'Ram Nami Samaj' Fortunately, we got a lot of literature to learn & grow, but somehow people are complacent to remain illiterate & be happy with offering Coconut, sweets , flower etc & Shouting 'Jai Sanatani. That's entire hinduism for them I have been learning many stuff about our tradition, meaning behind it & Ancient Indian contribution. Your channel is always a blessing.

Once again, I find the "like" button insufficient. We must recognize the problems in order to reform. Only then could there be a Dharmic Renaissance.

[@MysterEarl]

@DesiLaunde-um7dq If the law is just, it will have no qualms with Dharma. Even if doesn't happen in India, other Dharmic cultures would happily aim for it. Just out of curiosity, what is your problem with Dharma?

[@MysterEarl]

From the Dao Dejing: "The dao that can be spoken of is not the real dao." China, prior to foreign occupation, was a Dharmic culture influenced by Buddhism. Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism syncretized quite well; hence, "Dao" and "Dharma" are not too distinct from one another and why I quoted the Dao Dejing. Dao is often translated as "the way"; Dharma as "righteousness". Among the strengths of ancient India was its acceptance of religious diversity and respect for each to follow their own path. The example you gave regarding Krishna cheating Karna exhibits the complexity of the concept. Fortunately, there are no gods among us to overturn what we know to be right. Dharmic renaissance is largely cultural. Would it have effects on law and politics? Just as much as other beliefs adopted the people whether religious or secular. Let us also not think that secularism is a desirable feature of society. Many nontheistic ideologies which are essentially are the substitute of religions proliferate and cause much damage to the society. Not to mention Abrahamic culture which has carved up countries and dragged them into conflict.

[@Shreedhar_Shukla]

@DesiLaunde-um7dq A good question to which I now will try and provide an answer. I am not sure if this is the right explanantion or even makes sense but Karna as a person has his crests and troughs. He was a great archer, student and friend. He even donated his kavach kundal knowing it was Indra asking for it! I have the utmost respect for this side of him. Now to come to his troughs, he as a friend never corrected the ways to Duryodhana, he blindly supported him in his endeavours. Even though one can say that Duryodhana helped him but the way he returned back the favour was not just. Even when Duryodhana ne Draupadi ka chir haran krne ko bola us bhari samaj me, Karn ne kch nahi kiya. So he did fail as a warrior who is supposed to protect the helpless. Here Shri Krishna too is binded by Karma and just. He has to ensure as a saarthi and as a bearer of Dharma that the one in wrong should not win over Dharma. Karn even though he had his crests was supporting the one in wrong. So Krishna did what his karma was to win over the wrong

[@MS-ov9sv]

Life is not absolute. Nature is not absolute. Dharma is not absolute. Dharma is "sukshmn"......it's the most beautiful doctrine for a neutral seeking mind to understand ..... 'neutral and seeking' being the operative words. DHARMA IS SANATAN.....TIMELESS...

[@venkataramans2315]

Shudras were allowed entry in the temples. It is the Dalits who are denied entry. The temple entry movement in the south is for the Dalits. Nandanar was a dalit. Not a Shudra. Untouchables are not part of Shudra community. The Dalits were not part of the four Varna system. Brahmins alone were not responsible for untouchability. The ruling class like Cholas were not Brahmins and the system of untouchability could not have existed without their agreement. This is not to say that Brahmins were not complicit, but untouchability could not have existed without widespread support from the society.

[@BeRight4u]

As usual pass the blame on others. The cholas kept quite bcos the aryans go to the extent of killing the kings if their superemcy was touvhed like they killed adhitya chola. Like they killed the grandson of ashoka like they killed ghandhi.like they killed the Buddhist monks. Histroy has all evil finger prints. So dont escape

[@venkataramans2315]

@@BeRight4u Aditya Chola may have been killed by Brahmins, but that had nothing to do with Aryan. The Brahmins were from the Pandya kingdom and were taking revenge for the killing of their king by Aditya Chola. I think you did not read my comment properly. I said `This is not to say Brahmins were not complicit..'. All varnas and jathis have carried out atrocities. Look up the Kizhvenmani incident where Dalits were burnt alive by a landowner from the Naidu caste. According to the recent report, the people who mixed human faeces with the drinking water of Dalits are not Brahmins. The trouble in Draupadi Amman temple is not due to Brahmins. Many Dalit boys who married girls from OBC castes were murdered in public places by men from the girl's side. So, own up your share like I have owned up my share.

I come from a lineage of Brahmins in Kolkata, and I admire your dedication to your work. It's evident that many Bengali Brahmins face barriers in performing traditional rituals due to the suppression inflicted by the British colonial era, which has hindered our cultural evolution compared to Brahmins from regions like UP, Bihar, and Rajasthan. I believe it's crucial to revive our ancestral traditions and encourage young Brahmins to pursue the path of learned priesthood to preserve our timeless heritage. Let's work together to reclaim our past glory and ensure the continuation of our cherished traditions for generations to come.😊

[@anonfromnowhereinparticula1184]

Well madam sadly you are so naive and unintelligent. Aryan Invasion Theory did not created Brahmin hate in Tamilnadu. The Vellala caste did. Vellala, and Nattukottai Chettiars. They had been thinking of themselves as being equal in status to Brahmins. But developments in 18th and 19th century made them realise that they were not. And this led to a very deep angst and hate in the midst of the vellala caste. A hate so deep that they created an entire organization and a society-wide hate project for one hundred years. The 'Dravidian' Movement. Was the creation of the Vellala + Nattukottai Chettiar caste. Chettiar-Mudaliar-Pillai. AIT didn't create Brahmin hate in TN. Chettiar-Mudaliar-Pillai did. This channel is run by vellala caste group only. I wish I could inform each and every person who is moved by this vid. Its carefully crafted to make it seem like a reasonable thing. Cleverly hiding the malice. But then, I don't bother. Because, anybody who doesn't suspect them, what are they going to be like ? Inferior brains. The guys who run this group are probably connected to Nithyananda group too. I am not going to make the effort to drive sense into folks who fall for this kind of stuff. Waste of energy. 🙂

There is some detailed evidence in ancient texts and puranas to indicate that caste was a horizontal construct prior to the islamic invasions. There were many castes but not in a top down hierarchy. You could belong to any caste and still have the knowledge imparted provided you were fit to receive the knowledge. Then the brutal islamic invasion turned this horizontal caste system into a vertical hierarchy one and this was done I guess to preserve the knowledge system from being erased completely. But over time this hierarchy became rigid and oppressive.
