Idol worship and brahmins (in an extended view Hindus)

When you are a child you clutch,hold,bite and even kiss and admire your toy or pets.As we grow old the toys take a social dimension for a "virtual clutching".Mind knows that the toy plays are for the children in minds.But through rituals Hindus and more specifically brahmins keep these social toys ( I mean the idols of the imaginary Gods).Brahmins have built their religious life and economics around that....

please see the site

http://nirmukta.com/ to understand the futility of these types of worship and how the brahmins have cheated the society with questionable and selfish ends preaching sublimity and purity. Brahmin as asocial development is in a wrong footing and our fore fathers have taken us to questionable identities and separation from human development.

We think but act backwards in social norms.We preached cleanliness while all other varnas we thought were not pure.How absurd this thought process any simp[le thinking will reveal.

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.

S.V.Shekar

Now at least S.V.Shekar is bold to demand 7% reservation.But the percentage of brahmins is 14%.He should demand more than 10%. Some hooligans thru petrol bottles at his house.this shows their cowardice and brute nature.they behave like animals without mind or intelligence.these fellows think brahmins are Aryans and indulge in racist behaviour with impunity. They were trying ethnic cleansing of brahmins.But brahmin tamil force is world wide now.The non-brahmin tamil force in the world adopts brahminical values and hence succeds.Only the non-brahmins of tamil nadu are incapable people who throw acid bottles and petrol bombs like terroists.Who knmows they may be terrorists in the making.Police should throw proper light by dedicated probe if they want any faith in democratic institutions.

new Tamil Brahmin portals and moneys collected.

Many portals have come up for tamil brahmins and play on the sympathies of the expats and try to garner funds. How the funds are used? They don't reveal this transparently.In the name of Tamil brahmins these portals should not indulge in violence and illegal activities.

Brahmins of Tamil nadu are meek souls following their rituals and other avocations.Many are cooks,run hotels(brahmin hotels),Grukkals ,Vadhyars. They have all along shunned adopting carpentry,masonry and such hard physical jobs, because there daily routine and some words in the Vedas and other brahminical texts pull them apart towards worshiping God on a daily basis with rituals like the jews.As orthodxy fed them with bhojan on freely from landlords and temples they carried on a mental journey of bakthi.Thinking the imaginary path of God and religious ways will help them to lead a good life.

But the surge of materialism saw a few as advisers to Kings on many matters.They were quick to grasp mathematics and science because of their habit of reciting verses and memorizing them.Over a period of time these habits have got impregnated in the genes of the brahmins and their progeny.

They quickly grabbed the authority of expertise and to some extent concern.But the position remained secondary economically.

Above links give an idea of the hatred they are subjected to the extent of oppression.As they don't react with violence like the Muslims they were bashed right left and center.If the politicians of parochial nature in TN don't have any issues or points to talk or if they wan to divert the attention of the people they used to lecture against brahmins as they don't react with violence or opposition.

The same politicians cannot utter a single word against other castes and sub-castes as they are majority if put together in the electorate.
