Duty of Brahmins (Hindu Dharma:)
If any purpose has been served by listening to me all the while, it is up
to you [Brahmins] {KR Not label by caste but by adherence which meant anyone
approached holistically by deed can be a true brahmin} to take whatever
steps you think fit to promote Vedic learning. Every day you must perform "
Brahmayajna" which is one of the five great sacrifices (mahayajnas). The
term "Brahma" in " Brahma yajna" means the Vedas. The power of the mantras
must be preserved in us as an eternal reality. It must burn bright like a
lamp that is never extinguished. For this reason, it is that we perform
Brahma yajna. We must offer oblations to the presiding rsi or seer of our
Vedic recension. {KR ONE WHO ABUSES VEDA VYASA NAD GANAPATI SASTRI @
VALLUVAN AS SHUDRA IS NEVER A BRAHMIN AT ALL} Failing that, the least we
can do is perform the Gayatri- Japa every day. Gayatri is the essence of
the Vedas, their substance. { KR AND ONE WHO RECITED THE GAYATHRI ALSO
DAILY RECITED THE NAUNDA MAVEN THEN HE IS OUT OF BOARD AS BRAHMIN} To
qualify to chant it, you must be initiated into it by a Guru. (kr Where
the sishya always in abusive tongue that shos who is his guru?) The Gayatri
you thus learn must be mentally repeated at least a thousand times every
day. (KR WHO RECITED 1000 TIMES} Again, the least you can do - and you
must do it- is to chant the mantra at least ten times morning, noon and
dusk. The sun god is the presiding deity of Gayatri. Sunday, the day of the
sun, is a universal holiday. On this day you must get up at 4 in the
morning and, after your ablutions, recite the Gayatri a thousand times.
This will ensure your well-being as well as of all mankind. {KR THE FIRST
WICKET HAD FALLEN AGAAINST BEING A BRAHMIN}
All Brahmins must learn to chant the Purushasukta, the Srisukta, Sri
Rudram, etc. I am speaking particularly to office going Brahmins here.
Since they will find it difficult to devote themselves fully to Vedic
learning they must try to acquire at least a minimum of scriptural
knowledge. But it should be creditable if they accomplish something- in the
present case learning the Vedas- in the face of difficulties. If you start
learning the scripture now you will be able to complete your study in a few
years. But you need faith and devotion. The Vedas are a vidya that has come
down to us through the millennia. If you study them with determination you
are bound to succeed. Haven' t you seen 50- and 60- year- old people
engaged in research in the hope of gaining a Ph. D. or some other degree?
If you have the will you will have the way to accomplish anything however
difficult. There are examples of individuals who at 40 had been totally in
the dark about the Vedas but who later learned to chant them with ardour.
As a matter of fact there are such men among the office- bearers of our
Veda Raksana Nidhi Trust. So what is needed is faith as well as
resoluteness. (KR The determination in faith is missing as quietude is
the order of the day disguising the fear so brahmin means boldness is
missing and the second wicket fell}
Leave aside the question of Brahmins who are in jobs and are
middle- age or older. Whether or not they themselves can chant the Vedas or
want to learn to chant them, they must see to it that their sons at least
receive instruction in the scriptures. Perhaps the children cannot be sent
for a full-time course in the Vedas, but the parents could at least ensure
that, after they perform the upanayana of their sons at the age of eight
years, the boys are taught the Vedas for one hour every evening for a
period of eight years. A Vedic tutor may be engaged on a cooperative basis
for all children of a locality or village. This should be of help to the
children of poor Brahmins. {KR But we do teach chess and games and not
Vedas as earning as CEO is the greed of parent and so the third wicket also
fell)
Above all, efforts must be made to ensure that the existing Vedic
schools that are in bad shape are not forced to close down. These
institutions must be reinvigorated and more and more students encouraged to
join them. To accomplish this task both teachers and taught must be
adequately helped with money. {KR How many brahmins knew the Veda
Parassala in existence nearer to them so as to donate and cherish? 90% are
away from them and such acts; so 4th wicket also fell)
Let me repeat that Brahmins ought not to be afforded more than the
minimum cash or creature comforts. (KR Who will accept it? Mutt itself is
in need of donation; and without earning how can one donate? And what is
the need defined as.?) But we see today that there are many lucrative jobs
to tempt them. So, there is the danger of their not being fully involved in
their svadharma (own duty) of learning and teaching the Vedas if they are
not kept above their want. We must provide them with certain facilities so
that we are not faced with the unfortunate situation in which such Brahmins
become more and more scarce. There are new comforts, new avenues of
pleasure, not known in the past. It is unrealistic to expect a few Brahmins
alone to deny themselves all these and adhere to their svadharma. If we
adopt such an attitude the Vedic dharma will suffer. So when some Brahmins
are engaged exclusively in their dharma it is obligatory on our part to
help them with money and material. Though they must not be afforded any
luxuries, we must provide them with enough comforts so that they are not
enticed into other jobs. We have drawn up a number of schemes bearing this
in mind. {KR A sage is lead this way to plead? If few vadhyars demand a
lakh of rupees for a srardham please do pay as you have earned in crores!!!
So trying to preserve is the order of the day hence the 5th wicket as
Brahmin also fell} {KR As 20 overs done holistic brahmins once cannot face
the ordeal of insults today from own and other communities and remained
stagnant adopting some and leaving much. Hence holistic approach is lost
forever}
