The Gothra and Pravara ........................


My dear all, I am extremely happy, many mails are being received on the captioned subject, as well on topics directly or indirectly related to it. Today, we find blood groups as "A" "B" and so on. Some name becomes essential to identify the group of the blood. In the similar fashion, in good olden days, the names of Rishis are taken to identify a blood group. This system is a unique system, besides joint family system etc, in India. This non related group marriages helped the generation to improve their intelligentsia. One can not say that the Indian system can not be relied upon just because some rishi name is given, then, in similar fashion, why should one believe "A" or "B". But still we believe, since we are Hindus and we accept systems of other religions and other branches of thought. That does not mean that we belittle our systems and our traditions which are infinitely dated back. Now I am working on the geographical area of ancient India during Mahabharat times and one authoritative text is "Mahaa Sankalpam". This text reveals, the number of sages; names of rivers; mountains; forests;regions; besides a detailed script of "time calculation". This is unique of its nature and perhaps the strong base TO KNOW OURSELVES; TO KNOW THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OF INDIA; TO KNOW THE DIFFERENT KINGDOMS; TO KNOW THE DIFFERENT RULERS; TO KNOW THE DIFFERENT RIVERS IN INDIA AND MANY SUCH. Let us not forget our traditions, let us not disrespect our ancient rishis, let us not disown our philosophies; let us also not ignore our Ayurveada; Tarka(logic); Nyaya sastra; Ardhik sastra(financial or economic theories)and many such. Let us feel proud to be an Indian; to be a Hindu; to have religious patience. Perhaps, Indians have the best tendency to help the less fortunate in the society. The great 'ANNADAANA" is an on-going system in Indian families; temples of India; and it is our richest culture. It is a fact, that I am going to write on a different subject as to why India is quite a sacred land on this earth, interestingly, some of the divine plants do not grow elsewhere on this earth. I prefer to present them in detail in due course of time. I am always open for correction, if someone tries to rectify me, but, it should be authentic and Logic or fact based and it should be convincing to every Hindu.
