SANAATHANA DHARMA - ORIGIN OF BRAHMINS

SANAATHANA DHARMA is Eternal , Ageless , Aadi-Madhya-Antha Rahitha

When everything was void , silent and dark There was EKAM SATH = ONE

SUPREME PARAA BRAHMAN - NIRGUNA BRAHMAN and yet Separate as

a Feminine Form - Primordial Active Energy - Shakthi and a Masculine Form -

Primordial Inert Matter - Eashwar. One could not exist without the Other.

Shakthi is in a state of Excessive Raajasic Form.

Eashwar is in a state of Excessive Thaamasic Form.

Shakthi and Eashwar collided in a Fusion and there was an Explosion -

A BIG BANG , which resulted in BRAHMAANDAM and out came NAARAAYAN -

MAHAA VISHNU - MAHAA VIRAAT PURUSH . Vishnu was a mixture of

Thri GuNa - Satthva , Rajas and Thamo; as Satthva HE was VAAMANA ,

NARRAAYANA RUSHI, BUDDHA.; as Rajas HE was NARASIMHA ,

PARASURAAMA ,KRISHNA ; as Thamas HE was RAAMA , BALARAAM A

We have to wait and see what form KALKI BHAGAWAAN will assume.

VISHNU needed help for Creation and HE created : -

PITHAAMAHA BRAHMA - The FIRST BRAHMIN ;

BRAHMA Created : -

SARASWATHI - Possessor of Knowledge ;

GAAYATHRI - Manthra ;

SAAVITHRI - Honesty, determination, dedication, selflessness ;

BRAHMA was given all the necessry infrastructure and wherewithal for creation -

VEDAS , UPANISHADS, VEDANGAS , SAASTHRAS , SMRUTHIS , SAMHITHAS etc.

BRAHMA created First Brahmins SANAKA , SANANDANA , SANATH KUMARA ,

SANATH SUJAATHA , NAARADA , THUMBURA , PARVATHA and RUDRA

but none were willing to become PrajaaPathis.

Then BRAHMA created First Human Couple SWAAYAMBHOO MANU and

SATHAROOPA , but they were given Administrative Responsibilities

and Authority to rule over the Land.

Swaayambhoo Manu and Satharoopa had three daughters -

AKOOTHI , PRASOOTHI and DEVAHOOTHI,

who are destined to become mothers of all would be Brahmins ;

AAKOOTHI BRAHMANI , PRASOOTHI BRAHMANI and DEVAHOOTHI BRAHMANI,

The Three Braahmin Ladies were married to Three Braahmins -

RUCHIKA BRAHMA , DAKSHA PRAJAAPATHI and KARDAMA MAHAA MUNI

respectively all Sons of Pithaamaha BRAHMA .

From then on BRAHMINS populated the earth by way of NAVA BRAHMAS ,

SAPTHA RUSHIS , PRAJAAPATHIS , SOOTHRA KARTHAS ,

SRUSHTTI KARTHAS , GOTHRA KARTHAS and PRAVARA KARTHAS..

The original Brahmins were all Rushis - Heard Vedas - Sruthis ;

Remebered what they heard - Smruthis ;

and propagated them as Aagamas and Nigamas .

Their descendents and Sishyas became Vamsa Rushi Pravara Karthas and

Sishya Rushi Pravara Karthas .

SANAATHANA DHARMA transformed into VEDIC DHARMA then RUSHI DHARMA

and finally BRAAHMANA DHARMA .

Brahmins became Students , seekers of Knowledge , Teachers , Raja Gurus .

Purohiths = well wishers of socirty ; Priests , Vedic Scholars ,counselors , Prime Ministers.

Brahmins owned all land conquered by PARASU RAAMA , but gave away all

to KASHYAP who distributed the entire land among the surviving rulers ; what is left for

Brahmins was a Name - Earth became KAASHYAPI .

BRAHMINS are content to remain as the torch bearers of SANAATHANA VEDIC RUSHI

BRAAHMANA DHARMA .

BRAHMINS are the most tolerant of other's point of view , realised that there are many

Paths to Reality - EKAM SATH , VIPRAAHA BAHUDHAA VADANTHI - The

Paths may be BRAAHMAM, VAISHNAVAM , SMAARTHAM , SAAKTHEYAM , SAIVAM,

GAANAAPATHYAM, KAUMAARAM , SOORYAM , AYYAPPAM , SAIBAABA , BHAKTHI

MAARGAM , CHAARVAAKAM , BAUDDHAM , JAINAM, SIKHISM , ISKCON etc

THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SECULARISM . Secularism does not mean

Atheism ; Secularism is lIVE AND lET lIVE , constructive difference of opinion ,

not destructive fundamentalism .

OM THATH SATH ; SAHANAA VAVATHU ; SAHANAU BHUNAKTHU ;

SAHA VEERYAM KARAVAAVAHAI ; THEJASVINAM AVADHEETHAM ASTHU;

MAA VIDVISHAA VAHAI ; OM SHANTHI .
