Brahmins and reservation

In many corporate bodies and even banks brahmins are sufferring by anti-brahmin caucuses meeting to create an anti-brahmin grapevine and whisper societies by simple hatered formula.It is pure anti-racism. In Banks the anti-brahmin groups form a secret conclave and influence postings.In SBI some Mudaliar officers in south form groups to connive against brahmins.I know one non-brahmin officer used to call all such officers in his house on Sundays for discussions on strategies to ouwit the performance of Brahmin officers and create hurdles on their ways and even postings they may get.these machinations were done by an officer near my place and he used to even influence them on loans.He was serving as aRegional manger and there were disciplinary cases against him .Such instances are known to me all over India particularly in PSU banks and SBI.This cannot be thwarted by any movement.Even top brass could not do any thing because even the parallel bosses of association and union were practising this "dharma" agaist brahmins.To my surprise some Iyengar officers were weak links in the affair revealing many information against their own colleagues. this anti racism is condemnable to the core.This type of antagonism cannot be tolerated by the minority brahmins.When S.V.Shekar wanted reservation for brahmins I felt that is impossible as they have no democratic ways to apply to the cause of brahmins.The politicians and vote banks of Tamil Nadu was caste driven and mean in action and hatred of the pristine castes.Even Mudaliyars and theyvars and /chettiars make hay by keeping the brahmins away from their goodwill.they use hid brains and services but don't support him communally.I consider the non-brahmins highly communal more than the Muslims.

discussion on old ways

Brahmins should get up at Brahma Muhurta

However, the life of a Brahmin was the most difficult. As per the Shastras (holy books) their duties comprised of teaching, learning, performing Yajna (vedic rituals), accept charity and give charity.

The typical daily schedule of a Brahmin, according to the Sastras, is described as following:

• A Brahmin must get up two hours before the sunrise (Brahma muhurta).

• After getting up, he cleans his teeth, bathes in cold water and performs prayer

• Next he performs rites or sacrifices to the gods

• Next is the daily study and chanting of the Vedas

• In the second part of the daytime, the Brahmin must teach his disciples the Vedas

• Afterwards he must gather flowers himself for the worship he is to perform.

• Since he is not expected to earn a salary, he must beg for his food and also for the materials for the conduct of various sacrifices.

Shastras gave Brahmins the right to beg for their food and other requirements. They were not expected to accumulate wealth and own lands. They must donate excess charity to the priests. Brahmins were permitted to eat only Sattvik or simple food which included raw fruits and vegetables, milk, and limited cereals.

The daily schedule, eating habits and duties prescribed for Brahmins, were based on long experience of Indian philosophers. They had understood that the only method to create divine or eternal knowledge was to rise above the worldly pleasures of senses.

This is reported as a stipulation....but nowadays brahmins don't worship god so intensely at least publicly because of the anti-racist feelings unleashed by the Dravidian parties of Tamil Nadu.Many have become scientists and contribute to society.but the non-brahmins occupy business and other vocations including politics and try to amass wealth.Even today brahmin shines in his work and is dutiful in majority.He shows higher morals and integrity.

Iyengar Bride

Tamil brahmin Iengar lady sangeetha has killed a couple at saidapet for money.Pl read the story of the state she was driven to because of poverty of her father who was a priest in Sholingur.She has married or lived with many men for money not as a prostitute but as a con woman.

What is the differentiated gene?

All in the Iyer's culture of Tamil Brahmins.

Tamil brahmin mamis don't pronounce tamil as the majority of the Tamilians do.The Brahmin tamil has some intonations and words which are from old tamil literature and some are laced with sanskrit words and intonation. This separates many brahmins from non-brahmins.....

Those brahmins who live in rural areas and interact with non-brahmins in the market and profession turn into half non-brahmin way of pronouncing tamil. Slang of the brahmins are different from that of the local non-brahmin tamils.

The carnatic music has been the preserve of the brahmins in the south of all sountern languages.Here also they use some intonation not acceptable to the non-brahmin majority. Even referring to an elderly female they say "Mami" while the non-brahmins say "AAtha" or "Amma".

These differences and many habits like shunning non-vegetarian way of cooking and eating has created cultural delineations which distinguish the minority.

Even amongst brahmins Iyengars preach one thing and practise another.They say that their way of worship is superior. Shiva has united Iyers with all castes in Tamil Nadu.Historically looking at this Ramanuja converted even several dalits into Vaishnavites.this shows the color difference in Iyengars which is highly prominent. If you look into the history of Iyengars toying with chrisitians during British period in India some more strands of evidences arise on color differences

Iyers and Iyengars...........Dasavatharam.

For tamil brahmin cause he has not done anything.He is subtly belittling the Iyers as if Iyengars are more faithful to God by quoting historicalevidence.In the mash up known as Dhasavatharam Kamala Hasan has shown Iyengars as matyrs and the Chola king as villain.

What really happend is far away from what is shown on the screen.

Iyengars were too much against Lord Shiva. Even some Iyengars have averred Him as a beggar with a bowl and burnt ashes. While Iyengars use Zeolites as the thiruman while Iyers use Oxides of metals. Iyengars advocate the hedonism of Vishnu to mobilise forces.While
Iyers preach renunciation and were nearer to the definition of brhamins in scriptures, Iyengars preach admiration of God with pleasure and wealth. Economics is the basis of life is realised by Iyengars earlier and they are highly materialistic and turned so earlier in history than the Iyers.
Later they are so selfish that even brahminism has been neglected by them.Persons like Rajaji did not help brahmins much except for improvement of his image and existence.

NSK and anti Brahmin humour

Recently I watched with interest about NSK,s life history in a TV which says that it is the only one holding the tamil cause aloft.

EVR and Annadurai enlisted the support of the NSK and his troupe for anti -brahmin propaganda into the rural areas. This is a systematically planned spread of ethinic hatred against the brahmins of Tamil Nadu. Even in films like "Uthama Puthiran" NSK has extended his propaganda in the name of rationalism. A brahmin's role played by him.Sitting on the banks of a river he his doing his "Sandhya vandanam".it is shown that a village seller of grass comes there and tells him that she wants to drink the water in the river.The brahmin says that it is for them to do moring ablutions and worship God and she should not drink the water or touch it.Then the village woman begs and the brahmin is shown to yield and the passes on Rs.5 to her and tells her to come to his house in the evening when his wife is not there.

The meaning conveyed is that the brahmins debauch the village women and they have subtle libido which is camoflauged.

Like this all his films he carrys such messages against brahmins and brahminsm as if he is the authority on the history of brahmins.with such propaganda machine DK, DMK and others with oppotunistic political ends denigrated the brahmins as cunning souls who serve their interest in the name of God.
People of tamilnadu don't seggregate politics from entertainment.

Even today one faGR is seen as a dancing idol in all political rallies and TV shows.
Congress got defeated for ever because of lack of links with entertainment industry in Tamil Nadu. Let them learn this lesson from history to revive themselves.

Violence and hooliganism

The violence and hooliganism unleashed by political parties in power in TN will wipe out the remnant of goodwill harboured by the old faithfuls to congress in a moment.The anti-constitutional behaviour by DMK is evident from EVR Periyars' Anti-god and Anti Brahmin stand.

How the minority of brahmins be ill treated by the majority backward classes as in Gemany during holocaust? The attack on BJP and other party offices including of Dinakaran are carefully planned by the MK's party.

That is born with violence and grows with violence will be destroyed by the society with violence.

The actions clearly show how TN is heading towards split. How an anti-God head figure can be head of the Govt? What right these people have to question Modi in Gujarat?

As a freedom fighter I consider that Congress to grow further in TN should sever relations immediately irrespective of consequences.
Please keep MK and his selfish family under check to preserve the constitutional democracy of India and also keep Congress going with the support it has now.
