Being BRAHMANA is; the vitalization, promotion, regulation, coordination and harmonization of the KSHATRIYA, VAISHYA and SHUDRA elements; inside and outside; and realizing blossoming of individual and universe, as envisaged by Saint Dnyaneshwar in his PASAYA DAANA. We all; irrespective of birth; have a privilege and opportunity to evolve as BRAHMANA; through NAMASMARAN; and participate in the process of blossoming of one and all. Merely blaming BRAHMANA or any other community as such; is suicidal for us; and also bound to throttle and jeopardize; the process of individual and global blossoming!

2. One of the major causes of STRESS is inaction, which is
caused by conceptual misunderstanding of the aphorism “I am
BRAHMA”. We are BRAHMA in our talks, imagination and
preaching. But due to insufficient blossoming; through
NAMASMARAN and SWADHARMA; we are mediocre
apolitical, petty, indolent, indifferent, irresponsible; and self
destructive; in our personal and social behavior.
We do not realize that “I am BRAHMA” is true only for
extremely few exceptional (transphysical, transphysiological)
individuals; and not for all.
All of us are; Brahma + (body + mind + society + and many
things included in internal and external environment) together
called “maya”). Hence our aim should be to transcend MAYA;
through the practice of SWADHARMA and NAMASMARAN;
by evolving the international and national perspective, policy
making, plans, programs and their implementation!
What is true about BRAHMA is also true for BRAHMANA.
Much has been written about BRAHMANA. Some praise
BRAHMANA and some blame them for all the maladies in
India. Some adore the BRAHMANA for acting as conduits of
the knowledge and wisdom; from the ancient past to the
present; and some hate them for allegedly writing and
propounding scriptures such as MANAU SMRUTI and for

3. allegedly being responsible for the socio-political
discrimination and untouchability.
The word BRAHAMANA is explained in SAHASRANETRA.
But a brief consideration of BRAHAMANA is worthwhile.
Even as BRAHMANA community; exists; and even as it is not
easy to overcome the prejudices, preconceptions, grudges;
related to a community; we ought to realize that every
individual in the world; has all four tendencies viz.
BRAHAMANA, KSHATRIYA, VAISHYA and SHUDRA and
being BRAHMANA is not restricted to any community.
Being BRAHMANA (irrespective of one’s community and
caste; by birth); is being in a continuous process of conscious
evolution; embodying; blossoming of perspective, thoughts,
feelings, aspirations, conceptions, articulations and overall
behavior conducive to individual and global blossoming.
Holistic politics, holistic economics, holistic education, holistic
health, holistic medicine, holistic agriculture, holistic
industries, holistic trades, holistic banking, holistic art and
literature, holistic sports and overall holistic way of living; are
hallmarks of a BRAHMANA.
Being BRAHMANA is; the vitalization, promotion, regulation,
coordination and harmonization of the KSHATRIYA,
VAISHYA and SHUDRA elements; inside and outside; and

4. realizing blossoming of individual and universe, as envisaged
by Saint Dnyaneshwar in his PASAYA DAANA.
We all; irrespective of birth; have a privilege and opportunity
to evolve as BRAHMANA; through NAMASMARAN; and
participate in the process of blossoming of one and all. Merely
blaming BRAHMANA or any other community as such; is
suicidal for us; and also bound to throttle and jeopardize; the
process of individual and global blossoming!
