Number of more than 400 Brahmin gothras along with pravara Rishis

Number  of  more than 400 Brahmin  gothras along with pravara  Rishis 

Wikipedia  on list of Gothras   mentions that there  are  46 Gothras among  Brahmins. 

http://familypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Brahmin_gotra_system   gives the total list of 136  Gothras https://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2014/02/23/brahmin-gotra-list/ lists  56 gothras http://www.worldlibrary.org/articles/list_of_brahmin_gotras also gives  a list of about 100  gioothras . I once personally did  a  survey of Tamil  Brahmin Gothras (https://rajathathablog.blogspot.in/2012/09/a-survey-of-gothras-among-iyers-tamil.html )  and found  that most of the tamil Brahmins belong to 51 Gothras. So  I  was taken aback   to see  in a book  in tamil  published by Smt.Uma Hariharan, which has been approved by Kanchi Kamakoti mutt , a list of 421  Gothras . The list is classified  as

1.Gothras   with one  Pravara  rishi   19

2, Gothras   with two pravara   rishis  15

3,  Gothras   with three  pravara   rishis 313

4.Digothras  with three   pravara   rishis  23

4.Gothras      with five    pravara  rishis    51

In this list there are   several Gothras    which are repeated  several times   with different Pravaras  and some gothras   are repeated  in   different of these   classes also  I am giving   the complete  list as given in the book

 The List of Gothras   have been given by several people on line  .I am giving below   the very exhaustive list   given in a  Tamil  book on :Pithru Yagnam”  BY Smt.Uma  Hariharan.She has given list of Gothras with one Pravara  Rishi, Two pravara   Rishis, Three  Pravara  Rishis and five pravara   rishis. She also says  that there  is a reference to gothra    with seven rishis and she could not get the list.

Classification of Tamil Brahmins according to veda and Suthra they follow:-

Classification of Tamil Brahmins according to veda and Suthra they follow:-

Compiled by
Pr.Ramachander

(Please inform me if I have left out any )

The Brahmins of Tamil Nadu can be classified by the Vedas that they follow . Again those people who follow a Veda are sub divided by the Grihya Suthra that they follow to do their rituals.There are no followers of Athavana Veda In Tamil Nadu .The Followers of Yajur Veda is further divided in to Krisha Yajurveda and Shulka Yajurveda . The ritual a Brahmin follows depends on the Veda that he belongs and the Suthra that he has chosen to adopt . Thus the Brahmins Of Tamil Nadu can be divided in to

1.Krishna YajurvEda-Apasthambha Suthra
2.Krishna Yajurvedac –Bodhayana Suthra
3.Krishna Yajurveda -BHradwaja Suthra
4.Shukla Yajaurveda -- Kanva Suthra
5.Shukla Yajurveda- Madyandina Sutra
6.Rig Veda – Aswalayana Suthra
7.Rig Veda- Kathyayana Suthra
8.Sama Veda - Drahyana sutra
9.Sama Veda- Ranananyani sutra
10.SAma Veda-Jaimini Sakha

There are other Large number of Suthras in Each Veda.Some of them have been lost ..Some existing Suthras have followers in many pockets in North India. Among the Tamil Brahmins the maximum number are Followers of Krishna Yajur Veda , followed by Rig veda, followed by Sama Veda followed by Shukla Yajur veda.I understand that in Yajur veda people following Bodhayana Sutra is very less .

Though Some very learned men know more than One Veda , in Tamil Nadu we do not have persons following more than one Veda like Dwivedi(2 Vedas), Trivedi(Three Vedas ) and Chathurvedi (4 Vedas)

Daughter’s role in satisfying our Pithrus

Daughter’s role  in satisfying   our  Pithrus 

By

P.R.Ramachander

THarpanam for a person is done

BY

Their son, (Pitha  and Matha)

Their son’s son, (Pitha maha   and Pitha mahi)

Their son’s   grand son (Prapitha maha , Prapitha  mahi)

And also

Their  

Daughter’son, (Matha  maha , Matha mahi)

Son’s  daughter’s son,(Mathru  pitha maha , Mathru Pitha mahi)

Grand son’s daughter’s son(Mathru  prapitha maha  , Mathru prapitha  mahi)

This shows how important daughter’s are in taking care of the needs of family Pithrus .In fact, when our grand son’s daughter’s son does tharpanam for us , possibly he would be the only person to do tharpanam. at one time

(I have followed the details given in the Acharyal Madathu Panchangam as well as the panchangam published by Giri traders . I have also given the time of change of Thithi and Nakshatra  so that people  , who do thapanam in the early morning   as well as those who are living abroad  in various  countries, can also use it correctly. All times given are IST   which should be transferred to local time )  Amavasva Tharpanams are supposed to be done after Madhyahneekam but  in  practice people do it in the early morning and go to office. Let such people also see  if there is a change in  Thidhi and Nakshatra  . I have been  putting this information  every year for the past 17   years. I know that many more people are compiling such lists and are also putting it nowadays. I also see lot of my face book friends , post the sankalpa  of the concerned month. I know a Brahmin priest  Srikantha Vadhyar of Bangalore  , who sends it to his  client group by Whatsapp   every month

 I know that  my compilation is not that necessary now but am putting it by force of habit. I am already 78. I know about  35 thousand people   used the information contained  here during 2017-2018 by directly visiting this  blog and downloading the information .  )

A note on Karadayan nonbu on 14-3-2018

A note  on Karadayan nonbu   on  14-3-2018

Compiled by

P.R.Ramachander

     The  Karadayan Nolumbu(nombu)  commemorating    the epic story  of Savithri   regaining her husband from Lord Yama   is celebrated   at the last few minutes before the end of Masi(Kumbam) month  and before  the beginning  of  the month of Panguni(Meenam) .Normally   all  unmarried ladies  and married  ladies  with husbands  alive(sumangali)   offer   sweet as as well as  salt  Adai (made of rice harvested in the Kar season-May june ) , butter, banana  fruit   along with Vettilai  Pakku   to the Goddess and a yellow thread   which is offered    in the pooja   is tied by themselves or their mother in case of Unmarried ladies    and tied by the husband in case of Sumangailis   At that time they chant

Dhram gruhnami subhage sahardhraam
Dharami aham bharthu
Ayushya Sidhartham supreethabhava sarvadha

I am taking the thread ,Oh pleasant goddess, with affection ,

And I am wearing  it   for long life   span of my husband.

Become always   pleased with me.

The following   Tamil chant  is also chanted

Urukaadha Venneyum oradaiyam naan nootren
Orukkalum en kanavar ennai vittu pririyadhirukka vendum

"உருகாத வெண்ணெயும் ,ஓர் அடையும் நோற்று உனக்குநான்  வைத்தேன் ,எந்நாளும் என் கணவர் எனை விட்டு நீங்காத அருள்தருவாய்" என்று  அம்மனை நோக்கி வேண்டி நமஸ்கரிக்கவும்.

(I have offered  you unmelted butter    and One Adai  ,PLeae bless me so that my husband  will live with me forever)

Most of those    who observe the Nombu   do not take    food   from morning till   they   do the pooja 

   This year the month  starts   at 11.41 PM ISTand learned Vadhyars   suggest  that this pooja should be done  between 9 pm-10 pm  and before the month beginning, . THerefor  all cooking and preperations can be done before 9.00PM

The corresponding time  in different   countries  is given below:-

India  11.41   Pm

Dubai 10.11 Pm (Their local time)

Singapore   2.11  AM  Thursday

Kulalampur  2.11  AM THursday

Frankfurt and Paris  7.11 PM   thursday (Their local time)

London 6.11 PM Wednesday (Local time)

USA  eastern time   1.11  PM  Wednesday (Local time)

USA central time     12,11  PM Wednesday  (local time)

Western time  10.11  AM  Wednesday  (Local time)

Sydney   5.11 AM  Thursday (local time  )

Tokyo   3.11 AM Thursday (Local time)

          It is a practice in certain homes   to  worship goddess Kamakshi  by calling a priest . Instead  you can also  chant the following Sankalpam and perform the Pooja yourselves

Mama   deerga    saumanglya   avapthyartham  , mama bhartheu   anyonya  preethi ,

Abhivrudhyartham  , Aviyogartham    Sri Kamakshi poojaam karishye

Translation

For  getting the status of Sumangali   for a very long time ,

For increase  of mutual love between me and my husband

For never being ever getting parted with him ,

I am doing the worship of  Goddess  Kamakshi.

And chant the  Dhyanam

Ekambara  nadha   dayithaam   kamakshim  ,

BHuvaneswarim  dhyayami  hrudaye,

DEvim vanchithartha  pradhayinum

Translation

I  meditate  on the wife of Elambara Nadha,

Who is the goddess  of the universe in my mind ,

So that  the goddess   fulfill my mind’s desires.

Then chant ashtothara of Kamashi   http://stotrarathna.blogspot.in/2015/06/kamakshi-ashtotharam.html

and worship the goddess  by offering her flowers

. It would be great if you can chant the Yamashtakam   chanted by Savithri  to  get back her husband.( http://stotrarathna.blogspot.in/2013/03/yamashtakam.html
