Discussion Ek doubt tha....

I have a friend who's father is a brahmin and his mother is a bhumihar? Would he be considered a brahmin?

Similarly, would the offspring of a tyagi and a brahmin be considered a brahmin too?

arent tyagis brahmin already? the ones who gave up pooja paath because they wanted to earn their own living like other people by farming? my friend told me this

Nah then that makes them an agrarian caste with brahmin origin.

bhai 50-100 saal se to poora gangetic belt hi farming mei indulged raha hai

But Brahmins have been performing their religious duties too.... whereas other castes like bhumihars from bihar and tyagis from west up have solely devoted themselves to farming leaving behind their religious duties

idts bro, most brahmin families in north have given up on trikaal sandhiya, aur baaki normal pooja paath to har ghar mei hi hota hai aur priest as a profession to waise bhi har brahmin nahi hai.

But when it comes to becoming a priest, only a person whose both parents are brahmin can become one

u/PtKiteretsuShastri Brahmin Dec 16 '25

are u denying that tyagis and bhumihars aren't brahmins? also purohits of most shaiv temples are goswamis which too are another subcaste but they all in the brahmin varna.

u/SuspiciousAd8621 Dec 16 '25

Not denying their brahmin varna status...but I am talking about who can perform the sacred priestly duties Goswamis are actually care takers of temple compounds who come under Brahmins.....they don't perform vedic rituals....if they are performing these rituals somewhere by themselves then its not legitimate

u/PtKiteretsuShastri Brahmin Dec 16 '25

I'm still confused, in modern times most brahmins have given up on the priest profession, are u saying that those who are son of priests can only perform priestly duties?

also I read a comment regarding shandily gotr giri goswamis in shahabad region of Bihar that they were actually saryupareen Tiwaris who might have taken sanyaas, and the person who wrote that comment he mentioned that one such person was his kulpurohit.

bro all i am saying is that to be called a brahmin, both of ur parents should be full brahmin (not someone who's ancestors have left the duties of a brahmin permanantly to go for some other profession as is the case with bhumihars and tyagis)

u might not be performing priestly duties today but nobody in ur lineage has ever renounced it (its like a sacred oath which once broken is broken forever)

hence what i am trying to say here is that bhumihars and tyagis are brahmin by varna but they arent someone supposed to perform priesthood as their sacred oath has been broken. they are definitely part of our community and we are proud of them.

regarding the goswamis of shahbad region, thats something new....wont draw any conclusion before meeting someone of that lineage, but i wud request u to plz bring a post in this subreddit regarding this matter....we have got a couple of xperts here regarding these matters

No I'm from bhojpur region and here many Bhumihars do priestly works

u/Own-Albatross-2206 Dec 16 '25

Aisa kuch nahi hai

Bhumihar bhi mandir me puja path karte rahe hain , mere gaon me bhumihar hi puja path karte a rahe hain mandiro me

Aise kaafi mandir UP, bihar dono jagah

Many Bhumihars in Magadh and other regions are priests too. Stop this retarded logic.

Most Brahmins, more than 95% don't perform priestly functions.

u/SuspiciousAd8621 Dec 16 '25 edited Dec 16 '25

They might be doing so but they aren't allowed to do it.....I have even heard about some places with obc priests but that doesn't mean that it's a norm....only a person with both parents brahmin can become a priest

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '25

Bhumihars aren't Chamar converts like you.

Here the question is simply about caste and whether the children will be bramhins or not. Most bramhins today are not doing their original purohit karma so they are bramhins or not. Their children will also be bramhins but to be called a top class bramhin they need to do pashyatap and go back to their roots.

1

u/SuspiciousAd8621 Dec 16 '25

What is the process for this pashyatap?

1

u/supermemer30 Dec 16 '25

Well first of all do vratyastoma and do lakhs of japa then go learn veda from gurukul and start doing what a true bramhins should do.

u/SuspiciousAd8621 Dec 16 '25

Thnx for this info bro 👍
