I won't be speaking further. The moderators of this sub have actively allowed brigading.

For your information, one person took and posted the information in other subreddits and all I'm seeing is BLATANT CASTE BASED NSFW and rape threats to my inbox

All you do is see woman as objects. SHAME.

Can anybody live however they like ?

>
We claim to be brahmanas, we will live however we want, we will say whatever we like, you should bend to us and accept us, is what the above woman who claims to be a palakkad brahmana said to us.

To give the right meaning of the dharmashastras, we are quoting directly from bhagvad geeta. May sriman narayana shine the truth in this dark kali yuga, protect the sajjanas and keep the avaidikas out of the dharma.

Quotation - I :

https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/bhagavad-gita-16-23/

>yaḥ śāstra-vidhim utsṛjya
vartate kāma-kārataḥ
na sa siddhim avāpnoti
na sukhaḿ na parāḿ gatim

>
He who discards scriptural injunctions and acts according to his own whims attains neither perfection, nor happiness, nor the supreme destination.

Commentary by scholars :

>Cultivation of sama, dama etc. is as much an activity as the performance of rituals. Performing one’s varnasrama duties is a part of one’s activities. Service to the people at large in all possible ways is also one’s duty.

Thus, Gita concept of karma consists of all such activities that are essential for the physical, moral and spiritual progress of an individual and society. Any slackening or abandoning of one’s duty is adharma and executing the same is svadharma. Transgressing into some one else’s duty is also adharma

Quotation - II : Geeta 16.24

>
तस्माच्छास्त्रं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ । ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुमिहार्हसि ॥

>Therefore let the scriptures be your authority in determining what should and should not be done. Knowing what is enjoined by the rules of scripture, you should act accordingly here in this world.

The commentary on the above, by mahans is also stated.

Commentary by Sri Ramanuja of Sri Sampradaya:

>Hence, the Sastra is to be the only authority for you in determining what should be done and what should not be done, viz., in deciding what ought to be accepted and what ought not be accepted.

>You should know, i.e., understand, neither more nor less than what constitutes the truth and the work enjoined in the injunctions of the Sastras which the Highest Reality called the Supreme Person revealed in the Vedas.

>The Vedic injunctions are supplemented by the Dharma-sastras, the Itihasas and the Puranas. The acts enjoined by them are the means for reaching Him and for pleasing Him. You should perform them; you should accept them alone.

Therefore, sriman ramanuja clearly established what books are authority on deciding what to be done.

Pramana : https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/bhagavad-gita-16-24/

Commentary by Sri Madhvacharya of Brahma Sampradaya:

>Those who challenge the divine instructions of the Supreme Lord Krishna, those who contradict the eternal truths of the Vedic scriptures and those who dispute the eternal knowledge taught by the devotees of Lord Krishna are all also irrefutably possessed of the demoniac nature.

Since it is already established that Bhagavan sarvottama sri krishna laid out clearly the duties in not one but various shastras, none of the above is contradictory. All the words of acharyas are in unison.

The moral of the entire post :

>We claim ourselves to be brahmanas, but we will do whatever we like. The shastras are old, we don't want to follow anything. People will live however they want. We are brahmanas we claim, we won't follow the shastras but you must call us brahmanas and we will live however we want with that title

Is not supported by anybody in hinduism

Yesterday me and my dear friend user/big-brocoli were announcing the impact of the reality of sastras and how they should be followed.

A user made outrageous claims and wanted the Vedas, puranas and other stuff to suit their needs which is not what our sampradayas are.

One thing lead to the other and I've been blocked by one palakkad iyer who deleted the post.

One small advice to the community : Always base your opinions on the dharma-shastras of your sampradaya and take their rulings as superior.

If you have married outside the Brahmana community, you are not longer a brahmana and neither your progeny are brahamanas

I can see so many people saying " You can believe in whatever you want" that's not how the dharma sastras work

Most new gen brahamans are not willing the accept the above truth, but the verdict of the shastras must stand first. Therefore, I've decided to elucidate on this matter. May sri hari vayu gurugalu be pleased with this . May jagadguru Sriman Madvacarya protect all. May Narayana be pleased.

1. Brahmanatva is primarily birth based. Only a brahaman born to a Brahmana mother and Brahmana father of different gotra and different pravara is eligible to be called a Brahmana in the first place.

If the mother is brahmana and the father is not, and the father is a brahmana and the mother is not, it is a totally different case and the sastras without fault state that the varnas of such progeny are not brahmanas.

You may prove me wrong. I can quote several sastras but I will attract the scrutiny of those outside the Brahmana community and therefore this sub will tumble down.

2. For those saying "We have read on Mahabharata and other books about dharmaraja on how Brahmanatva is guna based"...

Please understand that the shastras have split Brahmanatva into svabhavika and aupadhika.

Svabhavika -> pertaining to svabhava (intrinsic nature)

Aupadhika -> pertaining to externalities ( our sharira, our interaction with the world)

Whatever you read about dharmaraja and others are talking about svabhavika part. Aupadhika brahmanatva is different.

Pramana for the above : The sastras mention "brahmanas will sell vedas in Kali Yuga (smd bhagvatam).

You may ask : how can someone selling the Vedas be called a Brahmin in the first place? He cannot be a svabhavika Brahmana at that point, but he is an aupadhika brahmana and aupadhika always holds valid for sastras. All sastras give samskaras based on aupadhika charectors

Verdict : Not only these , the sastras have given several other pramanas that Brahmanatva is in the aforementioned way.

You may be a kshatriya but a svabhavika Brahmana, you may be even an animal but can be a svabhavika Brahmana. But aupadhika and svabhavika is superior.

In no case, one who is not an aupadhika has been entitled to the rituals of aupadhika brahamana except in the case of vardana in former yugas.

But in Kali yugas such boons are not present, therefore on the basis of dharmasastras the verdict is very clear.

A progeny of a Brahman and a non brahmin, and those who marry outside the Brahmana community or those who marry within the same gotra and pravara are not brahmanas at all.

May sri hari vayu gurugalu increase our ananda and protect the sajjanas

I am up for a discussion on this. Anybody if you have doubts please ask me.

Same as title.

I'm Madhva Brahmana, Mauna bhargava gotra, Rigvedi from Tamil Nadu.

Any madhva brahmanas? What's your gotra?

Pardon me, I'm a newbie here , I'm just putting my money in arbitrage funds because it's quite stable over long term.

I recently came across how CAS is affecting options and futures and I'd just like to know the views of the community if it would be affecting arbitrage funds in any way.

Or current arbitrage fund investors, what is your opinion on this

Hi guys

Tryna start a family business like shops or something

Can anybody suggest me simple ideas that might work? Something that my family can continue after generations and is not specialised enough

For example, I've been thinking of cloth shops, jewellery shops etc.
