We need brahmin swayamsevaks for strengthening our Sampradaya in order to support&promote rest of the society. Those loukikas may switch to Vaidika mode in their attire,food practices, daily chores at least during weekends to start with.Narrow d gap btw real Vaidikas&loukikas.🙏

Once all brahmins learnt Vedas&practiced brahminhood by performing yajnas,teaching scriptures&officiating rituals for traivarnikas. After British govt, majority of them switched to English edu. Only few families stuck with Vedaaddhyayanam&related practices. Eng eductd left āchara

Hence Vaidikas felt it difficult to mingle with them due to catching up with their anācāra practices.Vaidikas hesitated to take food 4m loukikas due to same reason. Today d gap is widened far. Now2separate entities they've become despite they need to survive with help of loukikas

Many Brahmin youth(incldng girls) though remain spiritual in gen natural to their custom, don't show interest in Vaidik practices but turn to modern gurus who don't stress upon traditional practices that kept them happy so far for generations.They may not be interested in rituals

Like Sraaddha, Nityapuja, Upakarma etc but attend dhyana,yoga classes conducted by new age gurus. When they quit their practices, Vaidikas won't get support to survive. They too wud quit Veda addhyayanam to turn towards loukika lifestyle. Slowly Vedas won't find learners.Extinct

These are the excerpts from the conversation that I had with Jagadguru Sankaracharya of @KanchiMatham .
This convo started with Archakas issue. Why Hindu society as such didn't feel disturbed when Govt brought this law. How it was construed as smthng concerned w brahmins alone?

@RSSorg works on broader Hindu ideals but believes in Varna-less Hindu unity. But all Sankaracharyas believe that Varnasrama system infact is naturally created by Sarveswara based on human nature thats meant to do only good to Hindu Society.
We shall understand it in right spirit

We are called Brahmins in general but we've broadly 2 distinct divisions among ourselves. Vaidika smātas, Agama brahmins(Sivacharyas, Bhattacharyars etc). Among smartas few are purohitars who officiate rituals for non brahmin groups. They're also called

Panchangakkarars. Traditionally all these3are not sharing relationships by marriage due to difference in kulacharas.But basically all 3hold mutual respects for each other.These purohitas are bridges btwn Vaidikas&non brahmins. But d gap happnd btwn Vaidikas&Purohits had prevented

Smooth relationships between brahmins&Non brahmins. Dravidian politics played havoc on the psyche of entire brahmin community as such. When ppl cudn't find their own feet firmly placed, it was impossible for any1 to fill d gap created.
Now we need to sit & firm up our commitment

& responsibilities towards each other & put up a collective face in front of rest of Hindu society. We had several intermediate layers as cussion which we've lost over a period of time. I'm working on it & to come out with a plan sooner than later.
When Brahmins reinvent their

Roots & follow& nurture it, they can lead the society again by their contribution towards the overall growth of Hindu society.
ब्राह्मणस्य शरीरं तु नोपभोगाय कल्पते।
इह क्लेशाय महते प्रेत्यानन्त्यसुखाय च।।
The body of a brahmin is not created to enjoy comforts but 2sacrifice itslf

To serve the society till its end only to reap the fruits after its death in heavens. As long he is alive, he should serve the humanity by all means. His vedic knowledge & performance of yajnas everything shall help the society at large. He shall accept strains gleefully &Serve🙏

When we talk on the need of swayamsevaks, obviously we need pracharaks too. Without pracharaks, swayamsevaks will turn unguided. Better brahmins in RSS serving the nation as pracharaks come back to community service to serve the same society but with broadened & deepened vision🙏

This is a commendable job done by 2 purohits from Telugu brahmin community. They've brought out a book on rituals in Tamizh script for TN purohits who know Tamizh script alone. Many non brahmin families use the services of these purohits for performing rituals in their houses.🙏

Our graceful Maharshis have drafted beautiful kriyapaddhati for non brahmin communities using suitable verses from Puranas. Kamalakara bhatta(400+yrs old) too has written paddhati for NBs.
Even Krishnapremi Maharaj had recently developed a book for all members of Hindu society🙏
