A balanced article that attempts to answer the question. While I agree that a brahmin must be a gentleman, humble, not get angry etc, the same traits are expected of one and all irrespetive of caste or other considertions. <br /><br />Rajagopalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06540730662175654970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4893856948746334410.post-73140012686657998142016-10-25T06:37:47.445-07:002016-10-25T06:37:47.445-07:00Good article sir.

He strictly mentions the duties to be performed by a brahmin daily. This includes sandhyavandanam, auras am, the fire that you mentioned, vaishvadevam, learning and reciting Veeam, brahmayagyam, reading storage and Puran am. He strongly says that these casts are acquired by ones birth, though any one can try to realize the Brahman. He also continues saying that in previous yugas brahmin were allowed to Marty other caste females and this is prohibited in this yoga. He quoted Sri Adi Shankaras guru for this. He also mentions eight guns mentioned in smruthis which are required for every brahmin. This includes the practices you mentioned like eating soft foods etc. I hope this gives a clear view.

Without him , the Brahmachari and Sanyasi could not exist. Suddenly the hero in the serial God married as instructed by God. His view points changed. He thought that not traveling in a car and not allowing his wife to buy costly Saris was sufficient for him to be identified as a Brahmin. He sided with a corrupt politician to get him elected so that the temple could be repaired. (does this mean that tainted money is OK for God?). Later after election when he confronts the corrupt politician , he flies in high rage.(Definitely not a symptom of a good Brahmin).Cho and his friend talk about lot of things. None of these unfortunately have anything to do with Brahmin or Brahmanism. The scenes involving the families of the two Brahmin priests is very sickening. It leads to the thinking that even the Gurus of Brahmins are not exempt from Gossip, jealousy and bitter words. Today the second part ended without achieving any thing. The so called Brahmin departed back to Kailasa? Possibly Cho would start a third part some time later.<br />RamachanderRaja Thathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09656365715443764793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4893856948746334410.post-28250289301721498392010-06-20T03:55:50.111-07:002010-06-20T03:55:50.111-07:00Cho has touched all the points that you have menti...Cho has touched all the points that you have mentioned here. The first part was completed at the same point as the book, that was written more than 30 years back.<br /><br />But then the way the book was concluded was not satisfactory even at that time. After reflecting on these points all these years, I guess he has come out with the extension.<br /><br />Here the endeavour of Vasishta represented by the hero was to try to live as a true Brahmin. Whatever success or failure he encounters will be reported to Lord Shiva at the end, I hope. Now he is in the trial phase.<br /><br />Please my coverage of almost all the episodes in my blog, see: http://dondu.blogspot.com/search/label/%E0%AE%8E%E0%AE%99%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%95%E0%AF%87%20%E0%AE%AA%E0%AE%BF%E0%AE%B0%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%AE%E0%AE%A3%E0%AE%A9%E0%AF%8D<br /><br />Regards,<br />Dondu N.
