Brahmin Vadhyars

Many of them have mobikes as they have to go to client brahmins for pooja and death anniversary functions.Now karunanithi who is an atheist is giving cycles to village poojaris.
For how many Brahmin poojaris they have given cycles from tax payer's money?

Brahmin vadhyars don't keep up time in city functions..Many don't do pooja reciting all the slokas.
This is not in the interest of such a community which wants to earn thru such rituals.Also many take away the pooja materials without permission from those who conduct the poojas.

Rates have not been fixed for service and some try to grab more thus creating dissatisfaction.Brahmana Samaj should fix rates in cities for vadhyars and this can exclude conveyance which can be added separately. An office in an organised way can be opened in every locality and this can allocate duties for registered vadhyars.This will keep the rituals going till all brahmins become economically better.The profession of worship will get a boost with elitist touch of brahmins.Brahmins can regain their superiority as priests for all castes.

Why they hate brahmins?

http://www.scribd.com/doc/14680452/Why-should-anyone-hate-the-Brahmins-

is a good analysis....with historical perspective...Whatever be the rationalisation the hate red exhibited by EVR Periyar and Backward class champions like MK in Tamil Nadu and such groups including communists is RACISM.
WHY BRAHMINS ARE SILENT?

Even in the cinema world brahmin humour is above any sensitive requirements. Comedy is used to mask the racist remarks...

In Kerala Nairs mock at Nambhuthri Brhmins .................Even crack jokes as if it is comedy..but cause lot of hurt to them.International conventions should recognise this as racism...They cannot dare pass such remarks on Muslims because it is immediately responded as violence..
Even Jews are belittled because of their conservative ways and these so called uncouth majority thinks whatever they do is law and acceptable..
UN should recognise this racism which has even gone to the extent of ethnic cleansing of Kashmir Pundits...World pundits and so-called wise men preach peace but peaceful living is targeted progressively from humour,mockery,derision this proceeds to even ethnic cleansing.
Many Brahmin villages have been vacated by themselves by selling their properties to locals not out of economic necessity but to have improved life and to avoid the racist remarks etc...from the local non-brahmins.
If you go through tamilbrahmins.com some individual stories of such forcible eviction and occupation of brahmin properties by non-brahmins are evident

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.
