BRĀHMAṆA (THE PRIESTHOOD): THE PRIESTHOOD DEFINED: A PRIEST (“brāhmaṇa”, in Sanskrit) is defined as a man who promulgates teachings and performs rituals, on behalf of a particular religious or metaphysical tradition. He should possess all saintly qualities, such as cleanliness (which is, as they say, “next to godliness”), peacefulness, austerity, intelligence, wisdom, renunciation, tolerance, patience, humility, and of course, moral uprightness and religiosity.

Even if a man seems to be a genuine priest superficially, if he is severely lacking in even one of the clerical qualities, he cannot rightly be called a “priest”. Therefore, a dumb cleric or a dirty cleric does not, by definition, exist.

Furthermore, it is imperative that priests assess the qualifications of each prospective disciple, such as the boy’s/man’s level of intelligence, his sincerity, and humility, in order to ascertain his suitability as a student. As Lord Jesus Christ once so rightly suggested, one should desist giving what is holy to dogs (that is, those who are hostile to righteous precepts).

I appreciate the depth of research you do. Ignore the naysayers. Continue doing what you do. It is Satya that is Dharma and not our specific ideological leanings that matter. Good luck.
Give credit where credit is due - the brahmins held on to the knowledge, passed on to many generations and thus saving the culture, ethics, moral preaching and giving us the opportunity to understand our history.
@@chandra_haswhy do you all always think of casteism. Bramhins did do bias, so happend in other castes and subcaste as well. As the society is changing, bramhins are also making a change. Yes that they are more stricter towards caste based marriages, and also try to play monopoly in certain places such as temples which is one of the ways they can stay relevant in society, but bias towards other are reducing. Modern bramhin caste children learn,study,go and stay with various other people which don't mostly bother their parents. Stop blaming them for everything. People have recieved bias then the way to revenge is a bias or force to change perspective which is already happening. Killing them or taking their right to live just because they are bramhins is not a right thing . Jai Sri Ram
@@arjyachatterjee6874 no, I am descendant of our last Aztec emperor Moctezuma. The Spaniards only “won” thanks to all the diseases they brought to America. They got their asses beat pretty much every time otherwise.
Truly an eye opener there is so much mist surrounding the word "Brahmin" sadly in my hometown the so called or who proclaims themselves as "Brahmins" feel they are above everyone, during functions they force us to feed them first as "Brahims" and only after they all have finished eating and washed hands others are allowed to eat - what a pathetic mind set these people still have ?? The villagers have stopped inviting them "Brahmins" to functions for this discrimination. You are videos are truly amazing and based on factual references from our scriptures / ithihasa / puranas / upanishads etc - your channel is really underrated. I do share your videos in all my WhatsApp groups. God bless you and give you all the strength to bring out more such videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Your documentaries are some of the most engaging ones and broad and deep content on such topics that I have come across. Also very helpful that you provide references. Would it be possible to do verbatim translation [rather than just of take away message only] as an option too? I am asking too much but no harm in asking / seeking knowledge! Hindi or English translations of these wide works is otherwise not easily accessible. I remain very grateful to your works nevertheless.
As always well informed and well put. I was lucky to come across Kannada Vidwansa Bannanje Govindacharya, who often pointed "Satyakama" story. His pravachanaa and interviews as part of "Satya Darshana" TV series were eye openers. Keep illuminating..🪔
Sir, your videos are gem. It should last forever (until UA-cam exists) and pass on the knowledge to our future generations. You’re doing an excellent work. God bless you. I watch all your videos without a miss.
The original name might have portrayed a negative image right off the bat as a clickbait, whereas the content is completely neutral. I hope this new title still makes people watch this video ❤
Why do you call your nation by the name given to it by the British (from the PERSIAN word “Hindustan”)?☝️ What’s wrong with its PROPER name (Bhārata)? 🇮🇳
@@areascoda2912 Why??? India has been given by Britishers which was a direct modification of a term Indica(given by Greeks).....!! Whose logic was based on Sindhu river which is now in Pakistan so what is remaining to call this country as India??
Many years back, a telugu brahmin family used to stay next door. Lady always used to treat us inhumanely and always shows us that "I am Brahmin". One day, my sister questioned her that you show your caste in front of us always. What about eating outside(hotels), there you don't know who the cooking person is and his caste. Not able to answer, ran away. One day, the family vanished from society in midnight. Because we raised one question on her personal family life in public. Not able to answer. Other society members too started questioning about same. Later on we came to know one more important point, why she used to show her caste in front of us, that one of society member told her that you being brahmin, but not really looking like Brahmin. And that family whom you say are not Brahmin, are actually looking like Brahmins only. They are more Brahmin than you. She got angered with words and started maligning our family in society. And she was doing this, since the moment she came to stay in our society. See how the Almighty punished her. Treat everyone equally.
Good video but still needs a lot more information. India is vast and very diverse to generalize anything. I hope you also make a video for the good side of brahmin. Love from netherlands. Hari Om.
Thank you so much for your informed presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed the information you shared based on authoritative Vedic literatures, supported by contextual evidence and pointing out that Vedic frame of reference is truthful and inclusive based demonstrable qualities, as opposed rigid dogmas which in turn breed exclusion and intolerance.🙏
If that is so why shudras(dalit) can't wear Janeu, can't study Vedas, can't take sanyasa, can't offer pind-daan to departed soul of their ancestors ?. All these rules are established by Brahmins only.
@@Hacktivist12who said they can't offer pinda daan, can't become sanyasi ? Who said they dont wear janeu ? Habibi come to tamilnadu. The land of temples and culture.
@@priyadarshandeenadayalan8135 Adi Shankaracharya had laid down these rules in his commentary on various religious text. The current Shankaracharya also taking that casteist legacy forward. I respect Tamil people if you guys do not discriminate on the basis on birth caste, in north india only Arya Samaj allow Shrudas to wear Janeu, study Vedas and other religious duties. Shrudas can't wear Janeu: ua-cam.com/video/zX0F5F4llSA/v-deo.html Shrudas can't take sanyas ua-cam.com/video/R8MPGteWu6M/v-deo.html
@@Hacktivist12 what to say brother. End of the day Dharma is first and anything to protect it. Grahasthan that is a family man is highly regarded and is no where less to a sanyasi according to our dharma sutras. I would ask people to follow the shankaracharya of sringeri. Basically when somebody is doing puja in temples, he should be madi ( bathed, no touching anybody) until the completion of rituals. But the dominant land owning class along with brahmins systematically made the shudras which means peasants and artisans as lower class by creating may histories on them. The classic example I would say is Bengali jati formation 😂😂😂. Seriously I was laughing reading about it as a Brahmin myself 😂. In this Full video he explained the scripture tree. So what ever we get confusion the higher shastra should be taken. The Supreme is vedas. We should follow it. Basically brother if you have money you'll be respected anywhere also education which gives you knowledge. The varna is different but taking it to saying somebody has neech is high level of non sense. We all are from paramathama and the end is we merge into paramathma. Just to add, our parents will not even touch us until puja is done. Even the clothes are kept separated and maintained no body touch it. Even the family members. It's high time we all unite to protect the country in the name of indians. Jai hind brother.
@@Hacktivist12 Brother actually these are said for brahmans because it's a stage but it's totally corrupted by alcoholics, and greedy people just by birth call themselves brahmins. Because of not understanding all believe things as said even shankaracharayas. It's sad they can't understand these small things.
@ProjectShivoham , Anna, thanks for the eye-opening video, hope society moves in the direction of truth forever. can you please list the duties of Bhramin listed by lord shiva?. it will be really helpful who want to follow as lord Shiva insisted on attaining the truth.

People are forgetting that it was bramhins who memorised our entire vedas and puranas when islamic invations started. because they were burning every single scriptures from our land. Also, there are unsung wars fought by bramhins in past and won, where kshatriyas were defeated. thats the beauty of Sanatan.
pulled in verses from various text / scriptures about this sensitive topic - those who wrote Mahaabhaaratham and Raamayanam - were not of Braahminical birth - but attained this
@Sigma01350 because 1)this man maintains telugu channel too 2) many ppl I'm telugu states esp in andhra are too fixated on 'cast by birth concept'and they can't understand English ..so this in telugu may help
If you could translate your videos in Malayalam, it would be a great gift for keralites. Hate after knowing the truth is acceptable..hate comes from ignorance is embarassing
Ekalavya once shoots an arrow in the dark hearing the bark of dog because it disturbed his sleep which makes the dog incapable of barking. It is the dog's dharma to bark when it encounters a stranger which is why teaching dhanurveda to ekalavya is not in the interest of loka-kalyana. Not only for Dronacharya but also for any other teacher it would be adharma to teach dhanurveda to ekalavya.
People who do not understand Sanathana Dharma bad mouth it. The scriptures are so powerful in their knowledge of life and lives, it is impossible for an ordinary person to understand. It has to be taught thru years of work.
I have a question, plz don't ignore and answer it. You said that , it is clearly mentioned in Vedas that a sudra who has attained Vedic knowledge is a brahmin. But in Sri Guru charitra of dattatray, there is an instance where Sri Guru calls a lower caste person makes him take bath and asks one of his disciple to draw 7 lines with bhasma on that outcaste person after that sriguru asks him to tell each of his birth and once that person goes to his last janma of Brahmin he attains Vedic knowledge and recits Vedas, then he starts pestering sriguru to accept him in Brahmin caste as he attained Vedic knowledge, but sriguru tries to. Make him understand that a person becomes Brahmin only if he takes birth with a new body, he even went on to explain that vasistha maharshi accepted his wife arundhati only after he turned down her body certain times then after taking new body then he accepts her as his wife. Now I request you to plz go go through those and clarify my doubts. Sri Guru charitra is dattatreya 's charitra, and it paved path for natha sampradaya. So why is there opposites like these. These are the genuine doubts , expecting you to answer
Well explained. Sorry to say. Still i find some people who being a Brahmin by so called caste, don't treat other properly in any matter. In south, i find this more, compare to other parts of country. They say it "PROUDLY", that they are Brahmins. But don't understand the real meaning of it. And do untouchable acts
There are many temples in Chhatisgarh, Odisha, and Jharkhand that are run by Aadivasis and not by "your narration" of Brahmins (who did not let some untouchable in Tamil Nadu). Temple is a place decided by communities, not by varnas. If you are open-minded (and dare getting challenged), you would answer/reply to my comment. Look for Shri Jagannath Temple in Koraput, Odisha that is not run by "your narration" of Brahmins. Temple is a community gathering place.
He accepts the mistake of the Indian society. Why are you so much hellbent on getting a reply. He makes videos that's it. He doesn't even check the comments. His documentaries are enough to reply to wrong "facts". I am not putting a blame on anyone but hear me out. We all know that there have been a lot of cases on discrimination on the basis of caste ( as we call it ). What he is telling in fact admitting is that this system is bad this should be annihilated and Vedic culture does not promote this. It is happening in the name of religion but it shouldn't. Simple. There is no good making a fuss about it
@@Namish-yv9mz No he is not. Temple is a community gathering place. So, blaming Brahmins for not letting in someone ELSE is not okay. In fact one can switch Sudra varna to Brahman varna as well. That Nandnyar guy was also made Brahman when the priests realized his devotion for Bhagwan Shiva. I am not making a fuss about anything. If he is not looking at the comments, He should actually, that is how we learn.
@@Namish-yv9mz It is incorrect to blame the brahmins as temple is a community gathering place. there are many temples in central india which are exclusively run by adivasis
As it speaks the truth... the Brahmins are doing their part as of now todate not sure if that will continue...for long but for every prayer that a brahmin do the end of prayer is srave Jana sukhino bhavanthu.... And this is part of every Pooja that a brahmin does ...it's irony that what ever you do to them ...he still prayes for every one ... respect is all they deserve... dhramo rakshathi rakshitha
I am from the OBC caste and agree that anyone with a Nair, Menon name at the end of their names is totally wrong. I also think it should be criminalized. Imagine Whites in the USA having names like “John Slave Owner '' or “Jack Torturer of Blacks” which is exactly the same as Shyam Menon; except the Menons were more brutal to the OBCs than the Whites towards the Blacks. Just as the Whites of the USA have moved on, Indians who are descendants of abusers of other castes need to move on to realities. However the caste system is part of Hinduism but as a labor division not an avenue for discrimination. It got messed up over time but you cannot say things are not getting better in modern India. The current Indian cabinet has a record of 27 ministers from OBC. From my experience as a professional engineer and professor, I know that specialization in jobs has advantages. I still do wiring contracts and believe me every turn of a screw has a skill and failures of projects will happen if they are not turned properly. Hinduism did have a problem of castes disrespecting each other which started 2500 years ago which is why Buddhism and Jainism started to fight this trend. I believe India is a holy land and God let the invaders conquer India to solve the issue just as Parashurama killed 21 generations of warrior people during the previous time this caste egoism happened. About 21 generations of the tormenting caste were killed off by the invading Muslims and Christians. These Muslim and Christian conquerors needed the people who produced food, clothes, machines and artifacts for the country or else it would have been an unprofitable venture for them. There is no such thing as lower or higher caste. Ignorance is a bane for humanity. For example, most terrorists have no clue why they committed their crimes. A Shudra can reach the ultimate goal of human life which is to realize we are God ourselves. Examples of Shudras who did it are Valmiki and Vyasa, the authors of the Ramayana and Mahabharata respectively. If you go to research the backgrounds of the 1000 greatest sages of Hinduism, most are from the Shudra caste. It is simple, only the poor put in the necessary efforts to reach greatness. Each person doing the best they possibly can in their chosen field is itself a worship to God. The ultimate farmhand who tends the crops with love, the ultimate machine maker or trader, the ultimate warrior and the ultimate teacher about Brahman. In the original caste system, the other castes need not pray, they just achieve as much as Michael Jordan plays basketball or Usain Bolt runs the 100 m. In the back of their minds they know the prayers for the society are being taken care of by the Brahmins.
Your comparison between white racism and Indian caste system and the analogy between surnames show your stupidity, not worthy of any discussion. First, learn about caste system and ethnic conflicts of African blacks like different caste groups in Somalia, Nigeria etc. and then talk rubbish.
you are right in saying these invaders came as an act of god although the invaders had their own brutality and ideology that have further corrupted the soil today. Swami Vivekananda said something similar to your line of reasoning - he uses the words "wrath of God" in his writings. He said India was suffering from collective papa karma (mistakes made by some of our ancestors due to the emergence of Kali Yuga) and that majority of people today were deeply stuck in tamas guna (while pretending to think they are closer to sattva). Swami wanted Indians to move towards Rajas guna collectively and this is why he encouraged a more practical outlook rather than focus too much on spiritual evolution. He wanted us to grow first physically and mentally (he said play football before you pick up the Gita) and then he said the strength will come to move towards spirituality and Dharma which is the true purpose of India as a nation. He had high dreams and deep love for India and Hinduism but unfortunately his criticism of the wrong beliefs in Hindu culture (the wrongs that have happened in society) have not been understood by the Hindus themselves. I am saying this as a Hindu who cares about the religion and country and the current state of things.
@@AshwinSriram Vivekananda said something like (I did paraphrase it a lot): When mantras gave people all they needed, Brahmins were the most powerful humans, when the Brahmins forgot their mantras, the Ksytriyas took over for a long period of history. When fighting stops due to the increasingly destructive power of weapons, the Viashayas and Shudras will be the most powerful; imagine you are going to fight with a person with the assured knowledge that both of you will die, will you choose to fight? Today the Viashya businessmen are the most powerful. When computers take over the world, the Sudras who can follow instructions of the computers the best will be the most powerful on earth.
According to your statement if a person carries father's Varna till the age of 8 , then Rama was kshatriya because Dasharatha was, & continued the same
You said brahmin is not an entitlement but an attainment which means Anybody can become a brahmin know Even if i am not coming to the temple...and having all the qualites of purity, Generosity faithfulness gentleness self control and helping all the people without having greed lust pride joulousy and Specially WITHOUT DISCRIMINATING anyone and accepting all the people .....still will i be a brabmin...
I already know it dhronacharya was a raj guru he was not allowed to teach outsiders for security reasons Its true for present days too Is it okay for you that armed or defence training is allowed to anyone if he asks for it?? Will it not be a risk to give good training of weapons by such army heads who are responsible for our security?? If anyone will become spy aur threat then who is responsible?? Then its true we still ask many details to make sire the person fighting on border will die for us but will not run from task..
The so called shudras are still treated as untouchables and not allowed to worship in temple by the Brahmins.This is happening now in 21st century ! How can we overcome this unnecessary discrimination ?
Shudras.... ARE the pillars/foundations of the Hindu society...... just like the workers are base for a factory to function!!! However, few inconsiderate "S" class people, for monetary benefits, started revolting against the upper class..... just not Brahmins alone..... Since, the society is reformed mostly by Brahmins, they GOT highlighted more than others..........
Why lower caste Hindus are discriminated by upper caste Muslims, Christians and Buddhists ? What is the plight of Rgyapa and Rohida in Tibet and Sri Lanka who are treated as worse by upper caste Buddhists ?
I am an ardent dhruv rathee fan. If a war happens, then i will always support other countries because the ruling govt is not good enough. Andhbhakts stay away, cuz you are a bhakt of modi but i am a true deshbhakt😤
In Achryavani Vedamulu, non brahmins declaned to gain knowledge of vedas instead they said they deserve the duty what is meant for them. More over they said Gouthama unknowingly taught vedas to Satyakama jabali. Some one misguiding the society even today either you or ACHARYAVANI VEDAMULU. please clarify. Otherwise HINDUS pay huge amount of social loss. Even in 21st century, no guru peetham openly not offered vedic knowledge to all hindus at least. Though we lost more. Please recheck and correct whether GAUTHAMA said to SATYAKAMA willingly or unknowingly.
Was there any discrimination? Was any set of people or community outcasted in ancient times? Yes, of course there were communities which were treated as outcaste in India. But they were not mainly Shudras. They were called Avernas or Beyond Vernas or Outside Verna. And it was not just Brahmins who outcasted them, but all the other Vernas as well as tribals too joined together to keep them as outcastes Who were these out castes? They "mainly" were the followers of a cult known as Ajivika. This cult, which existed for a very long time, peaked up around the same time as Buddhism and ended sometime during the 10th century CE, much after Buddhism had almost disappeared in India. There were other communities too apart from Ajivikas but this was the main group which was kept away The followers of this cult had Strange, Weird, Dirty & Repulsive Rituals that they were naturally kept away from societies by people. Moreover, they too preferred to live away from societies & maintained minimal interaction with others. They were not murdered or driven away but just subject to minimal interaction from both sides. It was during emperor Raja Raja Cholas time that he started persecuting them in order to make them quit their repulsive cult practices. Some of the left the cult but many continued to follow it in secret. It was these groups that were treated as outcastes It is only natural that a civilized society will try to stay every from people who in every form of there lives, cultural, traditions act and behave in a bizzare & uncivilized manner. I am not talking about right or wrong here, but only pointing out to the basic human nature.
You are yourself explaining that varnas are not by birth but by actions and education, and then you yourself are making a mistake in the case of brahmins not allowing entry to shudras in the temples. You must understand that just like brahmins were not by birth, similarly shudras were also not by birth. Certain people, even brahmin varna people, when they committed certain crimes or wrong acts, were downgraded to the shudra category. And sometimes, in cases of very extreme crimes, 3 to 6 generations of such people were outcaste and considered untouchables for pious people. It was these untouchables, which were not allowed entry into certain temples because of their wrong acts, not all shudras. Even in today's times, Ranbir Kapoor was not allowed entry into Mahakaal temple because he is a beef eater. 1400 years ago, such a person would be striped of his varna and considered an untouchable. It was not that brahmins were oppressing shudras as a whole. Even all shudra samsakaras from birth to marriage to funeral were also done by brahmins only. So how can you even think that all shudras were oppressed or kept out from temples? Obviously, they were not. It was only a certain few wrongdoers who were, and are even today kept out from certain temples. That's all. Rest is all evangelical propaganda.
I like your video but here’s a caveat.. There WAS caste based discrimination since time of Mahabharata as KARAN was called a sootputra all his life and he fought all his life for equality.

After correcting mistake did you allow dalits afterwords? After converting Budda as an incarnation did you accept Buddhist as Brahmins? So fo not shout that you accept mistake and correct.
However, there is also evidence of complacency towards caste discrimination in early Buddhist literature,[1]: 129 and it is unclear whether members of "untouchable" castes were treated as having the same potential for enlightenment as others.[1]: 137
In the Divyāvadāna, the Buddhist king Asoka is questioned by one of his ministers for "bow[ing] down to renunciants who come from all castes." The king responds that "at the time of a wedding, a marriage, one [rightly] considers caste, but not at the time of teaching the Dharma. For the causes of the practice of the Teaching are good qualities; good qualities do not pay attention to caste."[1]: 133 This is both a denial of the relevance of caste after ordination into the sangha,[1]: 131 and an affirmation of its validity in the social affair of marriage.[1]: 135 The same position is repeated in the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa.[1]: 147 In practice, the majority of the early Sangha came from the upper Brahmin and Kshyatriya castes.[10]
Though in India, Buddhism presented a form of rejection of Hindu ideas of irremediable defilement, Buddhist doctrines had different effects in the Japanese context. Various acts prohibited as immoral in Buddhism, particularly involving the slaughter of animals and consumption of meat, combined with pre-existing Shinto ideas, leading to a set of occupations being labelled as defiled or untouchable. This began with occupations relating to handling dirt and animal and human corpses, but spread to encompass a few other menial tasks including basket and sandal making. The people who performed these occupations became a segregated untouchable caste within Japanese society.[12]: 32-33
In reality which is present times bramhins treeat others as sudras.. I heard many times these words by myself.. In my hometown there are priests in temples who dont even offer fruits if they are given by people other than bramhins.. Doing these they cannot expect respect from others.. Leave the bc, sc st they dont give minimum respect to other oc people.. Doing these definitely will affect the unity of hindus..this will weakken the trust of devotee directly.. By doing all these dirty deeds brahmins cannot expect dignity or respect from other hindus.. This discrimination also gives chance to other religions to target hinduism.. Annamayya,, adi sankarcharya, basavacharya , madhvacharya did a lot to erase this discrimination but till now many bramhins are doing these.. Charging huge money for every thing encashing the fear of hindus is the most dirtiest thing they can do.. So first brahmins correct ur perspective.. Just by birth respect wont be given. It should be earned..
I was arguing with a kshatriya caste person about the caste system. Below is a Hindu reference. I typed in youtube, “ambedkar history” and the first youtube that showed up was below. Where are you getting your information? Anyone who thinks Ambedkar was treated well in India must have been living under a very thick and heavy coconut shell. There are zero articles on Ambedkar having a respectable life in India. Your kind should change, you are living too much in the past glory of your ancestors subjugating the OBCs. The world is also getting very much into machines, AI and other technologies and from my observation as an electrical engineering professor and professional engineer, the OBCs are far superior in these hands-on and skill based activities from their innate nature spanning millennia, so the OBC will be the leaders of it. Vivekananda also predicted this where he said, when mantras gave people all they needed, Brahmins were the most powerful humans, when the Brahmins forgot their mantras, the Ksytriyas took over for a long period of history. When fighting stops due to the increased destructive power of weapons, the Viashayas and Shudras will be the most powerful. With the far larger population of the OBC, as a result of the invasions by the Muslims and Christians. The OBCs will be ruling India henceforth; the power is surely gravitating towards them (Modi, Annamalai etc); there is no more room for discriminatory people and agents who defend them, not only in India but worldwide.
If you believe in Reincarnation, you must know that soul gets a body that it deserves based on its karmas of previous lives. So why would God give you a body of a shudra if you deserve to be a brahmin?? Don't act as if birth is nothing special. So, Birth plays a key role in deciding Varna, but that person must do relevant duties of his varna if he wants to make the best use of opportunity. So a Brahmin is a person who is born to brahmins AND does all the duties of brahmins as prescribed by Shastras.
You are not given the body of a brahmim, kshatriya etc. You are born in the family of brahmins and kshatriya as per your past karmas (that doesn't mean you will automatically become a kshatriya or a brahmin) Also, those who are not born in a brahmin Or a kshatriya family could become them as per their qualities and karm
@@BiswajeetSingh-rj1cu , You are totally wrong. God created four varnas. What does that mean? God created Four types of people fit to do their respective svadharma bcz varna dharmas are obviously different and require different skill set. Then why wouldn't a child born to a Brahmin couple have brahmin qualities?? Shastras teach varna by birth, not by mere work.
He created four varnas based on qualities and occupation (it is clearly mentioned in bhagwat geeta) You r proving yourself wrong only Also, in ribhu gita (shiv rahasya puran) it is mentioned anyone who believes in birth based varna is shiva drohi 😂 It's better to be a non believer of adulterated smritis than being a shiv drohi. Period
@@achyuthcn2555 of course a boy/girl will have the qualities of brahmin if he is born and raised in actual brahmim families Still it doesn't change the fact that other people can be a brahmin Or a kshatriya you don't became a certain varna just by birth or you became superior 😊

🐟 20. BRĀHMAṆA (THE PRIESTHOOD):
THE PRIESTHOOD DEFINED:
A PRIEST (“brāhmaṇa”, in Sanskrit) is defined as a man who promulgates teachings and performs rituals, on behalf of a particular religious or metaphysical tradition. He should possess all saintly qualities, such as cleanliness (which is, as they say, “next to godliness”), peacefulness, austerity, intelligence, wisdom, renunciation, tolerance, patience, humility, and of course, moral uprightness and religiosity. This does not imply that a priest must possess those virtues to a perfect extent, but he ought to have each quality to at least a reasonably-high degree.
Even if a man seems to be a genuine priest superficially, if he is severely lacking in even one of the clerical qualities, he cannot rightly be called a “priest”. Therefore, a dumb cleric or a dirty cleric does not, by definition, exist. As explained in the previous chapter, priests (more precisely, World Teachers) are the authoritative heads of society, thus virtue is paramount, so be wary of the multitude of PHONY “priests” in the world!
N.B. In this chapter, and in this book, the terms “priest”, “spiritual master”, “(genuine) spiritual teacher”, “World Teacher”, “guru/jagadguru”, “brāhmaṇa”, “Avatāra/Avatar”, “Prophet”, “clergy”, and “cleric”, are fundamentally SYNONYMOUS, for they all refer to those excruciatingly-scarce men, who both possess the priestly qualities, and serve their communities in the role of teachers of authentic religion and morality.
THE ROLE OF A PRIEST:
As noted in the previous chapter, priests constitute the leadership of humanity, and are responsible for its moral and spiritual development. It is crucial to note that a priest is not required to teach just anyone and everyone in his community. Traditionally, priests (at least those who are worthy of the designation) were commissioned to teach only two groups of MALES: the rulers of society (see the following chapter vis-à-vis the monarchy), and monastics (normally boys and/or adolescents, known as “śiṣya”, in Sanskrit) in his home-school (“gurukulam”, in Sanskrit).
Furthermore, it is imperative that priests assess the qualifications of each prospective disciple, such as the boy’s/man’s level of intelligence, his sincerity, and humility, in order to ascertain his suitability as a student. As Lord Jesus Christ once so rightly suggested, one should desist giving what is holy to dogs (that is, those who are hostile to righteous precepts). ULTIMATELY, the spiritual master is discerning which of his disciples will succeed him as the head of his teaching ministry. In other words, the teacher is hoping to find that young man amongst his pupils, who most fully embodies the aforementioned brahminical (that is, priestly) attributes, so that his valuable lessons are not forever lost to humanity.
A perfect analogy for why a priest should teach only the two aforementioned groups of males, is with any world-class musician. Arguably the greatest pianist in history was Franz Liszt Ferenc, a Hungarian virtuoso, who lived in the nineteenth century. Quite coincidentally, Liszt became ordained in the Catholic Church in his fifties. Not only did Abbé Liszt tutor other concert pianists, but, just like priests, he did so at no monetary charge whatsoever. If he had taught novice musicians, he would have misused his valuable time, because his advanced students could have easily taught beginners (or could have taught even the TEACHERS of those novices). Therefore, if one happens to witness a (supposed) priest who regularly instructs any group of persons other than the aforementioned two groups of males, it is absolutely certain that he is a fraud.

@@chandra_haswhy do you all always think of casteism. Bramhins did do bias, so happend in other castes and subcaste as well. As the society is changing, bramhins are also making a change. Yes that they are more stricter towards caste based marriages, and also try to play monopoly in certain places such as temples which is one of the ways they can stay relevant in society, but bias towards other are reducing. Modern bramhin caste children learn,study,go and stay with various other people which don't mostly bother their parents. Stop blaming them for everything. People have recieved bias then the way to revenge is a bias or force to change perspective which is already happening.

Many years back, a telugu brahmin family used to stay next door. Lady always used to treat us inhumanely and always shows us that "I am Brahmin".
One day, my sister questioned her that you show your caste in front of us always. What about eating outside(hotels), there you don't know who the cooking person is and his caste. Not able to answer, ran away.
One day, the family vanished from society in midnight. Because we raised one question on her personal family life in public. Not able to answer. Other society members too started questioning about same.
Later on we came to know one more important point, why she used to show her caste in front of us, that one of society member told her that you being brahmin, but not really looking like Brahmin. And that family whom you say are not Brahmin, are actually looking like Brahmins only. They are more Brahmin than you. She got angered with words and started maligning our family in society. And she was doing this, since the moment she came to stay in our society.
See how the Almighty punished her. Treat everyone equally.

There is Brahman in every person.

@@Hacktivist12 what to say brother. End of the day Dharma is first and anything to protect it. Grahasthan that is a family man is highly regarded and is no where less to a sanyasi according to our dharma sutras. I would ask people to follow the shankaracharya of sringeri. Basically when somebody is doing puja in temples, he should be madi ( bathed, no touching anybody) until the completion of rituals. But the dominant land owning class along with brahmins systematically made the shudras which means peasants and artisans as lower class by creating may histories on them. The classic example I would say is Bengali jati formation 😂😂😂. Seriously I was laughing reading about it as a Brahmin myself 😂. In this Full video he explained the scripture tree. So what ever we get confusion the higher shastra should be taken. The Supreme is vedas. We should follow it. Basically brother if you have money you'll be respected anywhere also education which gives you knowledge. The varna is different but taking it to saying somebody has neech is high level of non sense. We all are from paramathama and the end is we merge into paramathma.
Just to add, our parents will not even touch us until puja is done. Even the clothes are kept separated and maintained no body touch it. Even the family members. It's high time we all unite to protect the country in the name of indians. Jai hind brother.
@@Hacktivist12 Brother actually these are said for brahmans because it's a stage but it's totally corrupted by alcoholics, and greedy people just by birth call themselves brahmins.

If you could translate your videos in Malayalam, it would be a great gift for keralites.
Hate after knowing the truth is acceptable..hate comes from ignorance is embarassing
Ekalavya once shoots an arrow in the dark hearing the bark of dog because it disturbed his sleep which makes the dog incapable of barking. It is the dog's dharma to bark when it encounters a stranger which is why teaching dhanurveda to ekalavya is not in the interest of loka-kalyana. Not only for Dronacharya but also for any other teacher it would be adharma to teach dhanurveda to ekalavya.
Thanks!

Good day dr jii
Dude u literally uploaded the same video which u uploaded few weeks ago , 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫 seriously dude !!
I know and I did it purposely. Please check the community post
I have a question, plz don't ignore and answer it.
You said that , it is clearly mentioned in Vedas that a sudra who has attained Vedic
knowledge is a brahmin. But in Sri Guru charitra of dattatray, there is an instance where Sri Guru calls a lower caste person makes him take bath and asks one of his disciple to draw 7 lines with bhasma on that outcaste person after that sriguru asks him to tell each of his birth and once that person goes to his last janma of Brahmin he attains Vedic knowledge and recits Vedas, then he starts pestering sriguru to accept him in Brahmin caste as he attained Vedic knowledge, but sriguru tries to. Make him understand that a person becomes Brahmin only if he takes birth with a new body, he even went on to explain that vasistha maharshi accepted his wife arundhati only after he turned down her body certain times then after taking new body then he accepts her as his wife.
Now I request you to plz go go through those and clarify my doubts.
Sri Guru charitra is dattatreya 's charitra, and it paved path for natha sampradaya.
So why is there opposites like these.
These are the genuine doubts , expecting you to answer
Vajrasuchi uoanishad is not written by adi shankara, its prior to his era
Well explained.
Sorry to say.
Still i find some people who being a Brahmin by so called caste, don't treat other properly in any matter.
In south, i find this more, compare to other parts of country. They say it "PROUDLY", that they are Brahmins. But don't understand the real meaning of it. And do untouchable acts
There are many temples in Chhatisgarh, Odisha, and Jharkhand that are run by Aadivasis and not by "your narration" of Brahmins (who did not let some untouchable in Tamil Nadu). Temple is a place decided by communities, not by varnas. If you are open-minded (and dare getting challenged), you would answer/reply to my comment. Look for Shri Jagannath Temple in Koraput, Odisha that is not run by "your narration" of Brahmins. Temple is a community gathering place.
Still awaiting your reply? You don't care a damm?
He accepts the mistake of the Indian society. Why are you so much hellbent on getting a reply. He makes videos that's it. He doesn't even check the comments. His documentaries are enough to reply to wrong "facts". I am not putting a blame on anyone but hear me out. We all know that there have been a lot of cases on discrimination on the basis of caste ( as we call it ). What he is telling in fact admitting is that this system is bad this should be annihilated and Vedic culture does not promote this. It is happening in the name of religion but it shouldn't. Simple. There is no good making a fuss about it
@@Namish-yv9mz No he is not. Temple is a community gathering place. So, blaming Brahmins for not letting in someone ELSE is not okay. In fact one can switch Sudra varna to Brahman varna as well. That Nandnyar guy was also made Brahman when the priests realized his devotion for Bhagwan Shiva. I am not making a fuss about anything. If he is not looking at the comments, He should actually, that is how we learn.
@@murkhuddindalal bro I did not understand your perspective. What do you want to say ? Is it correct to blame the Brahmins or incorrect ?
@@Namish-yv9mz It is incorrect to blame the brahmins as temple is a community gathering place. there are many temples in central india which are exclusively run by adivasis

As it speaks the truth... the Brahmins are doing their part as of now todate not sure if that will continue...for long but for every prayer that a brahmin do the end of prayer is srave Jana sukhino bhavanthu.... And this is part of every Pooja that a brahmin does ...it's irony that what ever you do to them ...he still prayes for every one ... respect is all they deserve... dhramo rakshathi rakshitha
I am from the OBC caste and agree that anyone with a Nair, Menon name at the end of their names is totally wrong. I also think it should be criminalized. Imagine Whites in the USA having names like “John Slave Owner '' or “Jack Torturer of Blacks” which is exactly the same as Shyam Menon; except the Menons were more brutal to the OBCs than the Whites towards the Blacks. Just as the Whites of the USA have moved on, Indians who are descendants of abusers of other castes need to move on to realities.
However the caste system is part of Hinduism but as a labor division not an avenue for discrimination. It got messed up over time but you cannot say things are not getting better in modern India. The current Indian cabinet has a record of 27 ministers from OBC. From my experience as a professional engineer and professor, I know that specialization in jobs has advantages. I still do wiring contracts and believe me every turn of a screw has a skill and failures of projects will happen if they are not turned properly.
Hinduism did have a problem of castes disrespecting each other which started 2500 years ago which is why Buddhism and Jainism started to fight this trend. I believe India is a holy land and God let the invaders conquer India to solve the issue just as Parashurama killed 21 generations of warrior people during the previous time this caste egoism happened. About 21 generations of the tormenting caste were killed off by the invading Muslims and Christians. These Muslim and Christian conquerors needed the people who produced food, clothes, machines and artifacts for the country or else it would have been an unprofitable venture for them.
There is no such thing as lower or higher caste. Ignorance is a bane for humanity. For example, most terrorists have no clue why they committed their crimes. A Shudra can reach the ultimate goal of human life which is to realize we are God ourselves. Examples of Shudras who did it are Valmiki and Vyasa, the authors of the Ramayana and Mahabharata respectively. If you go to research the backgrounds of the 1000 greatest sages of Hinduism, most are from the Shudra caste. It is simple, only the poor put in the necessary efforts to reach greatness.
Each person doing the best they possibly can in their chosen field is itself a worship to God. The ultimate farmhand who tends the crops with love, the ultimate machine maker or trader, the ultimate warrior and the ultimate teacher about Brahman. In the original caste system, the other castes need not pray, they just achieve as much as Michael Jordan plays basketball or Usain Bolt runs the 100 m. In the back of their minds they know the prayers for the society are being taken care of by the Brahmins.
I lost it when you said caste system is a part of hinduism😂
You are stupeed
Your comparison between white racism and Indian caste system and the analogy between surnames show your stupidity, not worthy of any discussion. First, learn about caste system and ethnic conflicts of African blacks like different caste groups in Somalia, Nigeria etc. and then talk rubbish.
you are right in saying these invaders came as an act of god although the invaders had their own brutality and ideology that have further corrupted the soil today. Swami Vivekananda said something similar to your line of reasoning - he uses the words "wrath of God" in his writings. He said India was suffering from collective papa karma (mistakes made by some of our ancestors due to the emergence of Kali Yuga) and that majority of people today were deeply stuck in tamas guna (while pretending to think they are closer to sattva).
Swami wanted Indians to move towards Rajas guna collectively and this is why he encouraged a more practical outlook rather than focus too much on spiritual evolution. He wanted us to grow first physically and mentally (he said play football before you pick up the Gita) and then he said the strength will come to move towards spirituality and Dharma which is the true purpose of India as a nation. He had high dreams and deep love for India and Hinduism but unfortunately his criticism of the wrong beliefs in Hindu culture (the wrongs that have happened in society) have not been understood by the Hindus themselves. I am saying this as a Hindu who cares about the religion and country and the current state of things.
@@AshwinSriram Vivekananda said something like (I did paraphrase it a lot): When mantras gave people all they needed, Brahmins were the most powerful humans, when the Brahmins forgot their mantras, the Ksytriyas took over for a long period of history. When fighting stops due to the increasingly destructive power of weapons, the Viashayas and Shudras will be the most powerful; imagine you are going to fight with a person with the assured knowledge that both of you will die, will you choose to fight? Today the Viashya businessmen are the most powerful. When computers take over the world, the Sudras who can follow instructions of the computers the best will be the most powerful on earth.

Yes, of course there were communities which were treated as outcaste in India. But they were not mainly Shudras. They were called Avernas or Beyond Vernas or Outside Verna.
And it was not just Brahmins who outcasted them, but all the other Vernas as well as tribals too joined together to keep them as outcastes
Who were these out castes?
They "mainly" were the followers of a cult known as Ajivika. This cult, which existed for a very long time, peaked up around the same time as Buddhism and ended sometime during the 10th century CE, much after Buddhism had almost disappeared in India. There were other communities too apart from Ajivikas but this was the main group which was kept away
The followers of this cult had Strange, Weird, Dirty & Repulsive Rituals that they were naturally kept away from societies by people. Moreover, they too preferred to live away from societies & maintained minimal interaction with others. They were not murdered or driven away but just subject to minimal interaction from both sides.
It was during emperor Raja Raja Cholas time that he started persecuting them in order to make them quit their repulsive cult practices. Some of the left the cult but many continued to follow it in secret.
It was these groups that were treated as outcastes
It is only natural that a civilized society will try to stay every from people who in every form of there lives, cultural, traditions act and behave in a bizzare & uncivilized manner. I am not talking about right or wrong here, but only pointing out to the basic human nature.

You are yourself explaining that varnas are not by birth but by actions and education, and then you yourself are making a mistake in the case of brahmins not allowing entry to shudras in the temples. You must understand that just like brahmins were not by birth, similarly shudras were also not by birth.
Certain people, even brahmin varna people, when they committed certain crimes or wrong acts, were downgraded to the shudra category. And sometimes, in cases of very extreme crimes, 3 to 6 generations of such people were outcaste and considered untouchables for pious people. It was these untouchables, which were not allowed entry into certain temples because of their wrong acts, not all shudras.
Even in today's times, Ranbir Kapoor was not allowed entry into Mahakaal temple because he is a beef eater. 1400 years ago, such a person would be striped of his varna and considered an untouchable. It was not that brahmins were oppressing shudras as a whole. Even all shudra samsakaras from birth to marriage to funeral were also done by brahmins only. So how can you even think that all shudras were oppressed or kept out from temples? Obviously, they were not. It was only a certain few wrongdoers who were, and are even today kept out from certain temples. That's all. Rest is all evangelical propaganda.

I like your video but here’s a caveat.. There WAS caste based discrimination since time of Mahabharata as KARAN was called a sootputra all his life and he fought all his life for equality.
There is NO SUCH word as "Brahmin". 🙄
🐟 20. BRĀHMAṆA (THE PRIESTHOOD):
THE PRIESTHOOD DEFINED:
A PRIEST (“brāhmaṇa”, in Sanskrit) is defined as a man who promulgates teachings and performs rituals, on behalf of a particular religious or metaphysical tradition. He should possess all saintly qualities, such as cleanliness (which is, as they say, “next to godliness”), peacefulness, austerity, intelligence, wisdom, renunciation, tolerance, patience, humility, and of course, moral uprightness and religiosity. This does not imply that a priest must possess those virtues to a perfect extent, but he ought to have each quality to at least a reasonably-high degree.
Even if a man seems to be a genuine priest superficially, if he is severely lacking in even one of the clerical qualities, he cannot rightly be called a “priest”. Therefore, a dumb cleric or a dirty cleric does not, by definition, exist. As explained in the previous chapter, priests (more precisely, World Teachers) are the authoritative heads of society, thus virtue is paramount, so be wary of the multitude of PHONY “priests” in the world!
N.B. In this chapter, and in this book, the terms “priest”, “spiritual master”, “(genuine) spiritual teacher”, “World Teacher”, “guru/jagadguru”, “brāhmaṇa”, “Avatāra/Avatar”, “Prophet”, “clergy”, and “cleric”, are fundamentally SYNONYMOUS, for they all refer to those excruciatingly-scarce men, who both possess the priestly qualities, and serve their communities in the role of teachers of authentic religion and morality.
THE ROLE OF A PRIEST:
As noted in the previous chapter, priests constitute the leadership of humanity, and are responsible for its moral and spiritual development. It is crucial to note that a priest is not required to teach just anyone and everyone in his community. Traditionally, priests (at least those who are worthy of the designation) were commissioned to teach only two groups of MALES: the rulers of society (see the following chapter vis-à-vis the monarchy), and monastics (normally boys and/or adolescents, known as “śiṣya”, in Sanskrit) in his home-school (“gurukulam”, in Sanskrit).
Furthermore, it is imperative that priests assess the qualifications of each prospective disciple, such as the boy’s/man’s level of intelligence, his sincerity, and humility, in order to ascertain his suitability as a student. As Lord Jesus Christ once so rightly suggested, one should desist giving what is holy to dogs (that is, those who are hostile to righteous precepts). ULTIMATELY, the spiritual master is discerning which of his disciples will succeed him as the head of his teaching ministry. In other words, the teacher is hoping to find that young man amongst his pupils, who most fully embodies the aforementioned brahminical (that is, priestly) attributes, so that his valuable lessons are not forever lost to humanity.
A perfect analogy for why a priest should teach only the two aforementioned groups of males, is with any world-class musician. Arguably the greatest pianist in history was Franz Liszt Ferenc, a Hungarian virtuoso, who lived in the nineteenth century. Quite coincidentally, Liszt became ordained in the Catholic Church in his fifties. Not only did Abbé Liszt tutor other concert pianists, but, just like priests, he did so at no monetary charge whatsoever. If he had taught novice musicians, he would have misused his valuable time, because his advanced students could have easily taught beginners (or could have taught even the TEACHERS of those novices). Therefore, if one happens to witness a (supposed) priest who regularly instructs any group of persons other than the aforementioned two groups of males, it is absolutely certain that he is a fraud.

The usual story, follow the money......
After correcting mistake did you allow dalits afterwords?
After converting Budda as an incarnation did you accept Buddhist as Brahmins?
So fo not shout that you accept mistake and correct.
Did your Buddha was an anti caste in the first place ?
Buddhism is integrated into the Newar caste system among the Newar people of Nepal, just north of India.
However, there is also evidence of complacency towards caste discrimination in early Buddhist literature,[1]: 129 and it is unclear whether members of "untouchable" castes were treated as having the same potential for enlightenment as others.[1]: 137
In the Divyāvadāna, the Buddhist king Asoka is questioned by one of his ministers for "bow[ing] down to renunciants who come from all castes." The king responds that "at the time of a wedding, a marriage, one [rightly] considers caste, but not at the time of teaching the Dharma. For the causes of the practice of the Teaching are good qualities; good qualities do not pay attention to caste."[1]: 133 This is both a denial of the relevance of caste after ordination into the sangha,[1]: 131 and an affirmation of its validity in the social affair of marriage.[1]: 135 The same position is repeated in the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa.[1]: 147 In practice, the majority of the early Sangha came from the upper Brahmin and Kshyatriya castes.[10]
Though in India, Buddhism presented a form of rejection of Hindu ideas of irremediable defilement, Buddhist doctrines had different effects in the Japanese context. Various acts prohibited as immoral in Buddhism, particularly involving the slaughter of animals and consumption of meat, combined with pre-existing Shinto ideas, leading to a set of occupations being labelled as defiled or untouchable. This began with occupations relating to handling dirt and animal and human corpses, but spread to encompass a few other menial tasks including basket and sandal making. The people who performed these occupations became a segregated untouchable caste within Japanese society.[12]: 32-33
In reality which is present times bramhins treeat others as sudras.. I heard many times these words by myself.. In my hometown there are priests in temples who dont even offer fruits if they are given by people other than bramhins.. Doing these they cannot expect respect from others.. Leave the bc, sc st they dont give minimum respect to other oc people.. Doing these definitely will affect the unity of hindus..this will weakken the trust of devotee directly.. By doing all these dirty deeds brahmins cannot expect dignity or respect from other hindus.. This discrimination also gives chance to other religions to target hinduism.. Annamayya,, adi sankarcharya, basavacharya , madhvacharya did a lot to erase this discrimination but till now many bramhins are doing these.. Charging huge money for every thing encashing the fear of hindus is the most dirtiest thing they can do.. So first brahmins correct ur perspective.. Just by birth respect wont be given. It should be earned..

I was arguing with a kshatriya caste person about the caste system.
Below is a Hindu reference. I typed in youtube, “ambedkar history” and the first youtube that showed up was below. Where are you getting your information? Anyone who thinks Ambedkar was treated well in India must have been living under a very thick and heavy coconut shell. There are zero articles on Ambedkar having a respectable life in India. Your kind should change, you are living too much in the past glory of your ancestors subjugating the OBCs.
The world is also getting very much into machines, AI and other technologies and from my observation as an electrical engineering professor and professional engineer, the OBCs are far superior in these hands-on and skill based activities from their innate nature spanning millennia, so the OBC will be the leaders of it.
Vivekananda also predicted this where he said, when mantras gave people all they needed, Brahmins were the most powerful humans, when the Brahmins forgot their mantras, the Ksytriyas took over for a long period of history. When fighting stops due to the increased destructive power of weapons, the Viashayas and Shudras will be the most powerful.
With the far larger population of the OBC, as a result of the invasions by the Muslims and Christians. The OBCs will be ruling India henceforth; the power is surely gravitating towards them (Modi, Annamalai etc); there is no more room for discriminatory people and agents who defend them, not only in India but worldwide.
If you believe in Reincarnation, you must know that soul gets a body that it deserves based on its karmas of previous lives. So why would God give you a body of a shudra if you deserve to be a brahmin?? Don't act as if birth is nothing special. So, Birth plays a key role in deciding Varna, but that person must do relevant duties of his varna if he wants to make the best use of opportunity. So a Brahmin is a person who is born to brahmins AND does all the duties of brahmins as prescribed by Shastras.
Hey murkh..!!
God give different Yoni on the basis of your Karma. Not Varna🤡🤡
You are not given the body of a brahmim, kshatriya etc.
You are born in the family of brahmins and kshatriya as per your past karmas (that doesn't mean you will automatically become a kshatriya or a brahmin)
Also, those who are not born in a brahmin Or a kshatriya family could become them as per their qualities and karm
@@BiswajeetSingh-rj1cu , You are totally wrong. God created four varnas. What does that mean? God created Four types of people fit to do their respective svadharma bcz varna dharmas are obviously different and require different skill set. Then why wouldn't a child born to a Brahmin couple have brahmin qualities?? Shastras teach varna by birth, not by mere work.
He created four varnas based on qualities and occupation (it is clearly mentioned in bhagwat geeta)
You r proving yourself wrong only
Also, in ribhu gita (shiv rahasya puran) it is mentioned anyone who believes in birth based varna is shiva drohi 😂
It's better to be a non believer of adulterated smritis than being a shiv drohi. Period
@@achyuthcn2555 of course a boy/girl will have the qualities of brahmin if he is born and raised in actual brahmim families
Still it doesn't change the fact that other people can be a brahmin Or a kshatriya
you don't became a certain varna just by birth or you became superior 😊
Brother show what is happening in society not fiction from books written by brahmins themselves
In texts of Jews they are the chosen one
In brahmanival texts brahmins are the chosen one 😂😂
Last chapter of Bhagabat Gita 18th chapter and sloka 40 to onwards describe about varna by lord Krishna
