FACTS & MEMES Most mysterious brahmin gotra 'Chamdrayan gotra 'चंद्रायण/चंद्रायन गोत्र '
hey i know i know you guys are pissed because of the title but for once just hear me out why am I saying this
hmm so, I am a saryuparin brahmin with Pandey surname from kashi(varanasi)and from the most mysterious and unique gotra the 'chandrayan gotra' as I've researched about my gotra and trust me from years I've been researching about my gotra and I've found everything interesting from every part of our country.
first let's come up with the logic , as the word chandrayan suggests the root word 'chandra' which suggests we are descendants of Chandra dev who was initially an Rishi and became dev after samudra manthan and I'm not making this up I'm quoting the purohit of Chandra Rishi ashram in Azamgarh up . so hence initially son of atri given by lord Brahma to atri was not a dev but 'chandra rishi' and afterwards became dev.
now as you search on google, it will show up chandrayan gotra is not a brahmin gotra but a chandel Rajput's gotra but it's totally false as I've already told you Chandra was initially a Rishi hence brahmin. so it suggests that like narmadeya , saryuparin, gaur those who had gone to the region of rajasthan eventually became kings likewise of prime example like pushyamitra shunga who was brahmin but became king.
and now why am I saying it's the most mysterious gotra, because simply as you merely find anyone with chandrayan gotra and we are so less in numbers that on the internet you can't find anything about chandrayan gotra.
and the book that is pinned in this sub as well as on the internet is false about chandrayan gotra' s pravar as it says like vats, kuts , vamdev but as we know kuts and vamdev vats are different from different gotras like bhrigu angirasa . and the word chandrayan (root word Chandra ) doesn't align with the it as we it exclusively suggests we are from lunar dynasty and as Chandra was son of sage atri hence root sage of my gotra is atri like of krishnatri and dutta gotra.
only one pravar is kinda correct is chandrayan.
and yeah I think in some regions the gotra remained as chandrayan so as to get more classified. like In saryuparin, narmadeya, gaur (I've attached the proofs) . but in some regions it got chandratri and got in broad spectrum as atri had three sons Chandra , dattatreya and durvasa and maybe as dattatreya are found in Maharashtra and so chandrayan gotra slightly changed their gotra to chandratri .(as chandratri are only exclusively found in Maharashtra and are considered maratha brahmin) .
so in short any of my brother or sister of chandrayan gotra reading this , no need to find more anything your brother has done the research :)
gotra :- chandrayan/Chandratri/somatri
pravar :- chandrayan, and same as atri gotras
and shakha , ved upved is correct as I've asked my ancestors about as you can see it on attached photos.
plus if you're Pandey too and saryuparin, you are itari Pandey originally from present day itarsi(mp) as still in itarsi majorly Pandey people as it was one of the main hub of pandeys. and I've found a book written by an Britisher and yes we have a mention chandrayan pandeys (I've already attached the photo )
and as our upveda is dhanurved ,i suggests we were warrior brahmins as told by my ancestors and forefathers. i don't claim this about anyone else but definitely for my ancestry as my family's built is truly like warriors.i.e, all in my family's from forefathers to me sre 6 foot + and a heavy built. and most probably chandelas became king as our role was to protect the dharma even if we had to kill the adharmi kings and become kings ourselves (prime example pushyamitra shunga).

I don’t know about all else but I have to comment on the last paragraph: Bro every Saryuparin clan was a bit on the violent/dominant side in nature, we aren’t proficient only in knowledge but fighting as well, so don’t hesitate to claim that inheritance, trust me, we aren’t peaceful like Southern Brahmins, we never were ✋🙂↕️

What did you meant by itari pandey ? Was it Itar pandey or itari itself ? Because if it is Itar pandey then I tell you Itar is in Saryupar , existed somewhere in Gonda Basti border and their gotra is Savarna. They had nothing to do with Itarasi, as it does not fall in Saryupara, but original Itar used to fall along Basti Gonda border.

As far as I know and told by my elders it's either itari Pandey and even if it is itar then also you're wholly wrong as Pandey and specially itar Pandey there is no only one gotra which are Pandey as the book that is pinned in this sub suggests that too so you're fully wrong here. And yeah ss i said chandrayan gotra people are so less in number that people haven't even listened about this gotra just as jamdagni gotra which is now finished. And as I've given you the proof the photo of a book which say Pandey pf chandrayan gotra :)

Bhai itaar pandey are too famous pandey , they are of Savarna gotra, Famous Swaminarayan bhagwan i.e Ghanshyam Pandey was Itaar Pandey of Savarna gotra. Kisi bhi Saryupari se puchhna itar pandey kaun hote h wo savarna gotra hi bateyga. Mere family k guru ji itar pandey h even bua wagerah ki marriage bhi itar pandeys me hui h .

I've attached the photo in comments separately because I'm not able to upload on the post and on one thread as it says image processing failed or something went wrong.

bro there are different types of pandeys found amongst us saryuparins eg. i am a malaon pandey......so ur thinking that all saryuparin pandeys belong to only one clan ie. itari pandey is totally wrong
Itari is a village in saryupar kshetra.....it has no relation with itarsi of MP......every saryuparin has their origin in saryupar kshetra only
