[21/11, 1:55 AM] VedantS😊: The 7 Great RISH’S and their Mantras
13 MAY 2016 · PUBLIC
THE 7 ANCIENT MANTRAS OF THE MOHYAL ELDERS
The 7 Great Maharishi’s, who are the TRUE FOUNDERS of the 7 MOHYAL CLANS, their Embodied DIVINE CONSCIOUSNESS was a ‘’PART and PARCEL’’ of the COSMIC ENERGIES, which Vitally Originate From the SAPT RISHI MANDAL [URSA MAJOR CONSTELLATION], which is an Integral Part of the COSMIC DIMENSIONAL SEGMENT OF TRUTH, about which the Holy Avatar SRI GURU NANAK DEV JI Explained as ‘’SACH KHANDD’’ in Holy ‘’JAP JI SAHIB’’.
Since Very Ancient Times, the Great Mohyal Mantras were used by the Mohyal Elders for invoking the Graceful blessings of our 7 Rishi Pitris, who in the true Sense are the 7 Mohyal Clan Originator Heads. And as we are the Descendant children of the seven great Cosmic Rishi's, who are our First and Foremost Mohyal clan PITRI’S, we should always reverently recite the 7 "Gotra Rishi Mantras" to obtain their Graceful Energies, which are meant for the PROTECTION and WELFARE of the Seven Mohyal Clans.
These “Gotra Mantra’s” are composed of ‘’Vital Frequency Vibrations’’ having Invisible Live Elementals which following these TONAL SOUNDS will Instantly group together to Vitally Connect us with their Blissful Energies, which were composed of their ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM, and thus are to be used daily, especially in all the sacred auspicious ceremonies, meant for the Seven Mohyal Brahmin Clans, which should be chanted with Great Reverence to get the Blessings of all our lineage forefathers.
The seven Mohyal clans are Vaid’s, Datta’s, Lau’s, Chhibber’s. Bali’s, Bhimwal’s, and Mohan’s, and their corresponding Gotra Rishi mantras have been written as below, The sequence of recitation should be by reciting the mantra of our Great Agram Maharishi at the start, who happens to be the great MAHARISHI BRIGHU, the head of Chhibber Clan, in whose lineage later on Maharishi JAMADAGNI and his great son Maharishi BHARGVA later on known in the World as the 6th Holy Avatar of Lord Vishnu "The Great PARSHURAM JI" were born.
So the sequence for the recitation of these Holy Mantras should be as per the CELESTIAL SEQUENCE of the Seven Stars of SAPT RISHI MANDAL [Ursa Major constellation], which are Vitally Manifested in the Celestial Sky [AKASHA] of Our MILKY WAY GALAXY [KSHEER SAGAR BRAHMANDA], and their Sequence in the Celestial Sky as Mentioned by Ancient SEERS and SAGES [Rishi, Munis] is as Followed, which should be also used in the same manner while Reciting their HOLY MANTRAS:-
[1] Maharishi Bhrighu – Who is also the Cosmic Head of Chhibber Clan.
[2] Maharishi Vashisht – The Cosmic Head of Lau Clan,
[3] Maharishi Bhardwaj - The Cosmic Head of Dutt Clan,
[4] Maharishi Bhardwaj and Maharishi Dhanwantri – The Cosmic Heads of Vaid Clan,
[5] Maharishi Kaushal - The Cosmic Head of Bhimwal Clan.
[6] Maharishi Kashyap - The Cosmic Head of Mohan Clan.
[7] Maharishi Parashar - The Cosmic Head of Bali Clan.
Their Ancient Mantras for our Mohyal Clans are as followed:
Starting with the Head Star of the Saptrishi Mandal [URSA MAJOR CONSTELLATION] as Manifested in the Celestial Sky, which represents the Cosmic Energies of MAHARISHI BHRIGHU, for all the Descendants of CHHIBBER Clan their Gotra Rishi mantra is:
[1] Maharishi Bhrighu Mantra
"Om Chhibber Gotrapramukh Saptrishi Bhrighuaye Namah".
Then Following the Celestial Sequence of SAPT RISHI MANDAL, as manifested Many Billions of Years Ago in the Celestial Skies, its Second Binary Star represents the Cosmic Energies of MAHARISHI VASHISHT for all the Descendants of LAU Clan their Gotra Rishi mantra is:
[2] Maharishi Vashisht Mantra
"Om Lau Gotrapramukh Saptrishi Vashishtaye Namah"
In the Celestial Sequence of SAPT RISHI MANDAL, as manifested Many Billions of Years Ago in the Celestial Skies, its Third Star represents the Cosmic Energies of MAHARISHI BHARDWAJ for all the Descendants of DUTT Clan, their Gotra Rishi mantra is:
[3] Maharishi Bhardwaj Mantra
"Om Dutt Gotrapramukh Saptrishi Bhardwajaye Namah".
In the Celestial Sequence of SAPT RISHI MANDAL, then its Fourth or Middle Star represents the Cosmic Energies of MAHARISHI DHANVANTRI for all the Descendants of VAID Clan, and for Vaid's there are two Rishi mantras, one mantra is for MAHARISHI DHANVANTRI of the DVAPAR YUGA ERA and another for Maharishi Bhardwaj, who happens to be their clan head also from the Earlier TRETA YUGA ERA. In the Ancient days All the Students of these Great Maharishis, who left their Own Brahmin Family Lineage’s, and then became their Permanent Disciples living at their Hermitages, were all known as their own CHILDREN, and their Children were known with the Same RISHI GOTRA.
[4] Maharishi Dhanvantri Mantra
The DHANVANTRI Rishi Gotra mantra is:
"Om Vaid Gotracharya Saptrishi Dhanvantriye Namah".
This Great Mantra was created in Ancient times by his own son Maharishi “Astik Vaid” for the benefit of all in ancient time, to be beneficially used by his lineage children, or for his descendants [Vansaj], especially to obtain Protection from Various Illnesses, as Maharishi DHANVANTRI was the Founder of AYURVEDA in BHARATVARSHA, and as Physical and Spiritual Health is True Wealth, the Auspicious day of ‘’DHAN TERAS’’ is celebrated with great Reverence during the Festival Time of Diwali.
And for the Vaid Descendants their TRETA YUG clan head MAHARISHI BHARDWAJ of SRI RAMA’S TIME, whose Hermitage was Situated at TEERATH RAJ PRAYAG [TRIVENI SANGAM OF ANCIENT DAYS AT ALLAHBAD], the Pious Gotra Mantra for Vaid Clan is :
''Om Vaid Gotrapramukh Saptrishi Bhardwajaye Namah”.
Then following the Celestial Sequence of SAPT RISHI MANDAL, as manifested Many Billions of Years Ago in the Celestial Skies, its Fifth Star represents the Cosmic Energies of MAHARISHI KAUSHAL for all the Descendants of BHIMWAL Clan, and their Gotra Rishi mantra is:
[5] Maharishi Kaushal Mantra
"Om Bhimwal Gotrapramukh Saptrishi Kaushalaye Namah".
Then following the Celestial Sequence of SAPT RISHI MANDAL, as manifested Many Billions of Years Ago in the Celestial Skies, its Sixth Star represents the Cosmic Energies of MAHARISHI KASHYAP for all the Descendants of MOHAN Clan, and their Gotra Rishi mantra is:
[6] Maharishi Kashyap Mantra
"Om Mohan Gotrapramukh Saptrishi Kashyapaye Namah".
In the End, Then following the Celestial Sequence of SAPT RISHI MANDAL, as manifested Many Billions of Years Ago in the Celestial Skies, its Seventh Star represents the Cosmic Energies of MAHARISHI PARASHAR for all the Descendants of BALI Clan, and their Gotra Rishi mantra is:
[7] Maharishi Parashar Mantra
"Om Bali Gotrapramukh Saptrishi Parasharaye Namah".
During the Recitation of these Mantras, the use of Sandalwood incense is highly recommended to get the attention of Vital Elemental Lives, who instantly get attracted to their Sweet Fragrance.
Many Thousands year old depiction of OUR GREAT SAPT RISHIS, has been Found Etched upon a Seal from the Indus Valley Civilization. In this Seal Lord Maheswara is depicted upon the Upper Left hand Corner, while the 7 Rishis are depicted on the Bottom
[21/11, 9:05 PM] VedantS😊: 🧘♀️🧘♂️ Science of Genetics behind the Hindu Gotra System – The Y Chromosome and the Male Lineage. 🧘♂️🧘♀️
This article is merely an attempt to find the scientific reasoning behind the origins of the ancient Gotra System and in no way endorses its imposition in the modern Hindu society to decide marriages or other things.
In all probabilities, the modern Gotra system is no more relevant, and the best method to verify the genetic feasibility of a marriage, if at all required, would be to avoid cousin marriages (which have been proved to increase the risk of genetic disorders in the off springs) or to do a genetic test of the bride and groom’s DNA for any possible genetic disorders in their off springs.
🤴👸
The Hindu Gotra System – Male Lineage Identification:
The Gotra is a system which associates a person with his most ancient or root ancestor in an unbroken male lineage.
For instance if a person says that he belongs to the Bharadwaja Gotra then it means that he traces back his male ancestry to the ancient Rishi (Saint or Seer) Bharadwaja. So Gotra refers to the Root Person in a person’s male lineage.
The Gotra system is practiced amongst most Hindus. See here for a List of Hindu Gotras practiced by different sections of the Hindu Society
Brahmins identify their male lineage by considering themselves to be the descendants of the 8 great Rishis ie Saptarshis (The Seven Sacred Saints) + Bharadwaja Rishi.
🏃♀️🏃♂️
So the list of root Brahmin Gotras is as follows
.
Angirasa
Atri
Gautam
Kashyapa
Bhrigu
Vasistha
Kutsa
Bharadwaja
.
These 8 Rishis are called Gotrakarin meaning roots of Gotras. All other Brahmin Gotras evolved from one of the above Gotras. What this means is that the descendants of these Rishis over time started their own Gotras.
The total number of established Gotras today is 49. However each of them finally trace back to one of the root Gotrakarin Rishi.
The word Gotra is formed from the two Sanskrit words Gau (meaning Cow) and Trahi (meaning Shed).
Note that the English word Cow is a derived word of the Sanskrit word Gau with the same meaning Gau.
So Gotra means Cowshed, where in the context is that Gotra is like the Cowshed protecting a particular male lineage. Cows are extremely important sacred animals to Hindus and there were a large number of best breeds of Cows that ancient Hindus reared and worshipped, and hence the name Gotra referring to the system of maintaining individual male lineages seems more appropriate.
🤵👰
Importance of Son in the Gotra System:
This Gotra system helps one identify his male lineage and is passed down automatically from Father to Son.
But the Gotra system does not get automatically passed down from Father to Daughter. Suppose a person with Gotra Angirasa has a Son. Now suppose the Son gets married to a girl whose father belongs to Gotra Kashyapa.
The Gotra of the girl automatically is said to become Angirasa after her marriage even though her father belonged to Gotra Kashyapa.
So the rule of the Gotra system is that the Gotra of men remains the same, while the Gotra of the woman becomes the Gotra of their husband after marriage. Now suppose a person has only daughters and no sons. In that case his Gotra will end with him in that lineage because his daughters will belong to the Gotras of their husbands after their marriage!
This was probably the reason why in the ancient vedic or hindu societies it was preferred to have atleast one Son along with any number of daughters, so that the Gotra of the father could continue.
But isn’t this crap...??
Why should only Sons carry the Gotra of their father, why can’t daughters? How does the Gotra of a daughter change just because she marries a person belonging to a different Gotra?
What is the necessity of maintaining only the man’s ancestry, why not maintain that of women too...?
This was the question that was puzzling me about this Gotra system till recently, until I found out the scientific reasoning behind the Gotra system by chance while studying a puzzle in modern Genetics for which the biologists are trying to find an answer!
But before that..
🤱
A Girl and a Boy belonging to the same Gotra cannot marry!
This is the most important and the only rule in the Gotra system if I may say so. Yes, a Bride and a Bridegroom belonging to the same Gotra are considered to be siblings and hence it is prohibited for them to marry even if they belong to distant families.
The reason given was since they belonged to the same ancestor, it will be like a brother marrying a sister which is known to cause genetic disorders in their offspring.
As I can see now, probably the prevention of marriages within the same Gotra was the only reason for the Gotra system to be created.
But again I used to think, what a crap, how can a boy and a girl belonging to two different families who haven’t met for centuries be considered as siblings...??
Only until I was able to correlate a puzzle in modern Genetics to the Gotra system.
And now to the Science behind the Gotra System, but before that let us just check out one more additional rule related to marriages in the Gotra System.
🤰
Pravaras and the Gotras:
Pravara is a list of most excellent Rishis in a Gotra lineage. As we saw earlier, some of the descendants of the most ancient Gotras started their own Gotras, however they maintained a list of Pravaras while doing so and attached the list of their most excellent Ancestors with this derived Gotras.
For instance the Vatsa Gotra has Bhargava, Chyavana, Jamadagnya , Apnavana as their Pravaras. What this means is that Vatsa Gotra has in its lineage all these Gotras and traces back its root to Bhrigu Rishi in the list of Gotrakarins.
The idea behind this Pravara system is probably to ensure that the derived Gotras still maintain track of their root Gotras, and this in turn is used to ensure that Bride and Bridegroom from no two derived Gotras coming from the same root Gotra marry each other. Every Gotra which is a derived Gotra maintains a list of Pravaras attached to it.
This is because, the essence of the Gotra system is finally to prevent marriages within the same Gotra. Now consider two derived Gotras which came from the same Gotra, then it might happen that over time people might forget that both these Gotras came from the same root Gotra, and may allow marriages within these Gotras since their names are different! To prevent this, the derived Gotras maintained a list of Pravaras (which were the prominent junctions where the derived Gotras got created), and the additional rule in the Gotra system is that, even if the Bride and Bridegroom belong to different Gotras, they still cannot get married even if just one of their Gotra Pravara matches.
This makes sense as this prevents marriages between derived Gotras which belong to the same root Gotra.
🤴👸👳♂️👳♀️👱♂️👱♀️
This reminds me of a similar logic in the modern Object Oriented Programming in Software Systems.
Derived Classes:
Consider a Class B which is derived from Class A, and another Class C which is also derived from Class B.
Now Consider another Class D which is derived from both Class B and Class C (multiple inheritance like in C++).
If we look at the immediate ancestry of Class D,
then it appears that Class B and
Class C are the parents of Class D.
But if you look at the ancestors of Class B and Class C,
then they are the Children of Class A.
Now if we replace the classes A, B and C with Gotras, then we can see that even if two Gotras B and C are different Gotras, if they share the same parent Gotra A (enlisted in the form of Pravaras), then they will become siblings, and hence the marriage between two different Gotras sharing the same Pravara is not allowed.
👨👩👧👦
But again the question remained – what is the basis to prevent marriages within the same Gotras even after thousands of years later the roots separated...?
How can hundreds of generations later they can still be considered to be the children of same parents just because they belong to same Gotra (male lineage) or to different Gotras sharing the same Pravara (again the male lineage)...?
Now to the Science behind the Gotra System, but before that let us refresh a bit of our knowledge about Genetics.
🤞✌️
Chromosomes and Genes:
Humans have 23 pairs of Chromosomes and in each pair one Chromosome comes from the father and the other comes from the mother. So in all we have 46 Chromosomes in every cell, of which 23 come from the mother and 23 from the father.
Of these 23 pairs, there is one pair called the Sex Chromosomes which decide the gender of the person. During conception, if the resultant cell has XX sex chromosomes then the child will be a girl and if it is XY then the child will be a boy. X chromosome decides the female attributes of a person and Y Chromosome decides the male attributes of a person.
When the initial embryonic cell has XY chromosome, the female attributes get suppressed by the genes in the Y Chromosome and the embryo develops into a male child. Since only men have Y Chromosomes, son always gets his Y Chromosome from his father and the X Chromosome from his mother. On the other hand daughters always get their X Chromosomes, one each from both father and mother.
So the Y Chromosome is always preserved throughout a male lineage (Father – Son - Grandson etc) because a Son always gets it from his father, while the X Chromosome is not preserved in the female lineage (Mother, Daughter, Grand Daughter etc) because it comes from both father and mother.
A mother will pass either her mother’s X Chromosome to her Children or her father’s X Chromosome to her children or a combination of both because of both her X Chromosomes getting mixed (called as Crossover). On the other hand, a Son always gets his father’s Y Chromosome and that too almost intact without any changes because there is no corresponding another Y chromosome in his cells to do any mixing as his combination is XY, while that of females is XX which hence allows for mixing as both are X Chromosomes.
Y Chromosome and the Vedic Gotra System
By now you might have got a clue about the relation between Y Chromosome and the Hindu Vedic Gotra System :)
Y Chromosome is the only Chromosome which gets passed down only between the men in a lineage.
Women never get this Y Chromosome in their body. And hence Y Chromosome plays a crucial role in modern genetics in identifying the Genealogy ie male ancestry of a person. And the Gotra system was designed to track down the root Y Chromosome of a person quite easily.
If a person belongs to Angirasa Gotra then it means that his Y Chromosome came all the way down over thousands of years of timespan from the Rishi Angirasa! And if a person belongs to a Gotra (say Bharadwaja) with Pravaras (Angirasa, Bhaarhaspatya, Bharadwaja), then it means that the person’s Y Chromosome came all the way down from Angirasa to Bhaarhaspatya to Bharadwaja to the person.
This also makes it clear why females are said to belong to the Gotra of their husbands after marriage.
That is because women do not carry Y Chromosome, and their Sons will carry the Y Chromosome of the Father and hence the Gotra of a woman is said to be that of her husband after marriage.
Pretty neat isn’t it....?
All iz well so far, we now know the science behind the Gotra System.
The ancient vedic Rishis hence very well knew the existence of the Y Chromosome and the paternal genetic material that was passed almost intact from father to Son, and hence created the Gotra system to identify their male lineages.
Lord Buddha for instance belonged to Gautama Gotra which means that Buddha was a direct descendant of Rishi Gautama.
But then what is the reason to prevent marriages between individuals belonging to the same Gotra?
Before we get into that, let us understand a bit more about the Y Chromosome.
The Weakness of the Y Chromosome:
The Y Chromosome is the only Chromosome which does not have a similar pair in the human body.
The pair of the Y Chromosome in humans is X Chromosome which is significantly different from Y Chromosome. Even the size of the Y Chromosome is just about one third the size of the X Chromosome.
In other words throughout evolution the size of the Y Chromosome has been decreasing and it has lost most of its genes and has been reduced to its current size. Scientists are debating whether Y Chromosome will be able to survive for more than a few million years into the future or whether it will gradually vanish, and if it does so whether it will cause males to become extinct! Obviously because Y Chromosome is the one which makes a person male or a man. And if it becomes extinct, Biologists are not sure whether any other Chromosome in our body will be able to completely take over its functionality or not.
And the reason for all this is that unlike other Chromosomes, there is no way for Y Chromosome to repair itself by doing cross over with its Chromosomal pair. All other Chromosomes come in similar pairs and when there the DNA of one Chromosome gets damaged the cell can repair it by copying over the DNA from the other Chromosome in that pair as both the Chromosomes in all other pairs are almost identical in nature. This copying (or crossing over as it is called) also allows different combinations of mix and matches to happen between the genes of mother and father and allows the best of the matches to survive and hence make the Chromosomes stronger as they evolve in successive generations.
Even X Chromosomes in female undergo this mix and match since there are two X Chromosomes in women.
However Y Chromosomes do not have any corresponding equivalent Chromosome in its pair. It can exist only in a XY Combination and X cannot mix and match with Y except for a small 5% of X which matches with Y, while the remaining 95% of Y Chromosome which is crucial in the development of a male have absolutely no match at all!. It is this 95% of the Y Chromosome which is completely responsible in humans for creating a male or a man.
But at the same time, Y Chromosome has to depend on itself to repair any of its injuries and for that it has created duplicate copies of its genes within itself.
However this does not stop DNA damages in Y Chromosome which escape its local repair process from being propagated into the offspring males.
This causes Y Chromosomes to accumulate more and more defects over a prolonged period of evolution and scientists believe that this is what is causing the Y Chromosome to keep losing its weight continuously.
As discussed earlier other Chromosomes do not face this issue because they have corresponding pairs from both the parents and the DNA damage could be easily corrected most of the time by the mix and match process that takes place between the two Chromosomes in a pair.
This Chromosomal crossover process eliminates damaged genes and is one of the key processes in evolution of life.
So to summarize, Y Chromosome which is crucial for the creation and evolution of males has a fundamental weakness which is denying it participation in the normal process of evolution via Chromosomal mix and match to create better versions in every successive generation, and this weakness MAY lead to the extinction of Y Chromosome altogether over the next few million years, and if that happens scientists are not sure whether that would cause males to become extinct or not.
And that is because Scientists are not sure whether any other Chromosome in the 23 pairs will be able to take over the role of the Y Chromosome or not.
On the other hand, it is not necessary that humanity will not be able to survive if males become extinct.
Note that females do not need the Y Chromosome, and since all females have X Chromosomes, it would be still possible to create a mechanism where X Chromosomes from different females are used to create offspring, say like injecting the nuclei from the egg of one female into the egg of another female to fertilize it and that would grow into a girl child.
So yes, that would be a humanity where only females exist.
Now I understand why Hinduism and its Vedic core regard Mother Goddess or female divinity to be more powerful than all male divinity put together :)
Gotra System – An attempt to protect the Y Chromosome from becoming extinct ?
So here is my conclusion about the creation of the Gotra system by the ancient learned Vedic Rishis.
The Vedic Rishis had observed the degeneration of the Y Chromosome and they wanted to maintain as many individual healthy unique Y Chromosome lineages as possible. That would give a fair chance for males to continue to exist because Y Chromosomes get passed on over generations with almost negligible change in their genetic combinations, as they do not take part in mix and match with other Chromosome.
So if the Rishis could devise a mechanism where in a given Y Chromosome had very little chance of adding more genetic defects in it, then they could probably succeed in either slowing down further degeneration of the Y Chromosome or even probably completely stop any further degeneration of the Y Chromosome.
And the only way to stop that was to ensure that the 5% of the Y Chromosome which can be mixed and crossed over with its X counterpart be protected so that the remaining 95% which does not take part in the mix and match process (which self heals by having duplicate copies of its genes) stays healthy.
Now we know even in modern Genetics that marriages between cousins will increase the risk of causing genetic disorders. That is because, say suppose there is a recessive dangerous gene in one person.
What this means is that say a person is carrying a dangerous abnormality causing gene in one of his chromosome, but whose effect has been hidden in that person (or is not being expressed) because the corresponding gene in the pairing Chromosome is stronger and hence is preventing this abnormality causing gene from activating.
Now there are fair chances that his offsprings will be carriers of these genes throughout successive generations.
As long as they keep marrying outside his genetic imprint, there is a fair chance that the defective gene will remain inactive since others outside this person’s lineage most probably do not have that defective gene.
Now if after 5-10 generations down the line say one of his descendants marries some other descendant who may be really far away cousins.
But then there is a possibility that both of them are still carrying the defective gene, and in that case their children will definitely have the defective gene express itself and cause the genetic abnormality in them as both the Chromosomes in the pair have the defective genes. Hence, the marriages between cousins always have a chance of causing an otherwise recessive, defective genes to express themselves resulting in children with genetic abnormalities.
So if the Vedic Rishis had allowed marriages within the same Gotras, then there were chances that the resulting male can be a victim of such defective gene expression, and any such gene expressions which took place in the 5% exposed area of the Y Chromosome would be fatal for the continuity of that Y Chromosome. Even after hundreds of generations there would still be chances of any defective genes being propagated within these successive generations, and marriage within the same Gotra would provide a golden opportunity for these genes to express themselves, there by causing the genetic abnormality in the offspring.
And hence the ancient Vedic Rishis created the Gotra system where they barred marriage between a boy and a girl belonging to the same Gotra no matter how deep the lineage tree was, in a bid to prevent inbreeding and completely eliminate all recessive defective genes from the human DNA.
Gotra System – A window of opportunity to study the Genetics of ancient Vedic Rishis
To add a final note, the veracity of the Gotra system can be checked by comparing the Y Chromosomes of males from different families of the same Gotra who are religiously following the Gotra system even today.
That would not only prove the maintenance of male lineage throughout generations for thousands of years, but would also provide us with an opportunity to extract the Y Chromosomes of the ancient Vedic seers and study them.
Why only the selected list of Rishis as root Gotras...?
Why not somebody else..?
When we look at the list of the Gotrakarni Rishis
(ie the root Gotras),
you may note that almost all of these Rishis are also Prajapatis – Prajapatis are said to be the immediate descendants of Brahma
(the Creator God) – who then went on to create their own progeny or lineage.
But isnt this crap?
If Gotras started with sons of Brahma, doesnt that make them inter related as well, coming from the same root ie Brahma ?
And isn’t this against evolution?
Humans after all evolved from earlier species, and not were created all out of a sudden like some magic.
Isnt it...??
True, the idea behind Prajapatis is not that they are sons of Brahma in the literal sense. But Prajapatis refer to the chieftains who were at the beginning of the very initial human settlements in the ancient past.
They were probably the first documented family heads whose lineage could be isolated as being unique, or probably headed the most influential family of those times.
Is It adequate for a marriage if just the Gotra and Pravaras do not match...??
No. Please note that the intention of the Gotra system is to avoid marriage within the same family and lineage as mentioned above, and hence it also states that marriages are not recommended with the maternal cousins even if the Gotras are different in this case.
To quote a rule of the Gotra System (Manusmriti 3/5)
~
AsapiMDAchayA mAtur sagOtrAchayA pituH |
sA praShasthA dvijAtInAM dArakarmaNi maithune ||
~
which means
When the man and woman do not belong to six generations from the maternal side
and also do not come from the father’s lineage, marriage between the two is good.
In other words, the Gotra System also does not recommend marriage with maternal cousins either, even if the Gotras are different in this case. This again is scientifically correct because cousin marriages with maternal cousins (like the marriage of a Son with Mother’s Sister’s Daughter) are also known to result in genetic disorders.
Should Gotra System be used to decide marriages....??
Please note that of all the scientific reasonings mentioned in the article about the Gotra System, the ONLY PROVED science is that the
Gotra System maintains a Genetic Male Lineage via Y Chromosome.
Cousin marriages within the immediate family relations are known to cause Genetic Disorders
Now considering the fact that we are thousands of years away from when this Gotra system originated, and the Indian demographics have undergone substantial changes during this period – Whether we need to retain the Gotra rules in deciding marriage alliance and whether same Gotra Boy and Girl (when they come from distant families) still share the same genes like between immediate cousins – should be left to Science.
The Gotra System might have had its benefits in its initial days as it prevented marriages between closely related cousins then.
But how appropriate would it be follow this system thousands of years later today in deciding matrimonial alliances...?
If Genetic studies based on analysis of Same Gotra families have not found any problem with same Gotra marriages scientifically, then there is no point in continuing with the Gotra system to decide matrimonial alliances.
Marriage is finally more of a bond between two souls rather than two bodies, so its nobody’s business to interfere in a marriage where the boy and girl are above minimal legal age required for marriage and are marrying with mutual consent.

[30/11, 9:18 PM] VedantS😊: 🙏🙏 Mystery of India, could this be true...??
Valmiki Ramayana and Veda Vyasa's Mahabharata mentioned this place as Siddhashrama. Also this is believed to be the place of birth of Lord Kalki, the final Incarnation of Lord Vishnu 🙏🙏
🙏🙏
Lost in time, perhaps fantasy too, the leyend of Shangri-La also called Shambala, remains to this day!
A land of immortals, where death is not allowed, where it does not exist, Other leyends,and the search for the eternal continue to the present day.
🙏🙏
This leyend is similar to Brigadoon in Scotland, the town that appears once in a hundred years.
And a rather new leyend,from the deserts of Arizona, USA, the town named Desert Rose.
The human quest for eternal life, a way to cheat death, could be located in India, in the Himalayas, a mysterious place that even orbiting satellites can not detect, where only the enightened, wise yogis and sages can reach and enter, this place.
🙏🙏
Gyanganj- The Land of Immortals, located between India and China, where few can find and visit.
This place is hidden in another plane of existance, reason why very few enlightened men can enter.
🙏🙏
Valmiki Ramayan and Veda Vyasa's Mahabharata mentioned this place as Siddhashrama, as previously said.
Here even, at advanced present day technology, it can't penetrate its artful, and clever camouflaged city.
🙏🙏
Through many years of practicing yoga, meditation, fasting, praying, and Ayurveda these sadhus and sages can live forever and reject death.
This place, called Sangri-La, or Shambala by Buddhists, does not belong to either India or China, or any particular religion. Shambala comes from Sanskrit origin, and it means...
"a place of peace and silence". mentioned in the Kalachakra Tantra and the ancient scriptures of Zhang Zhung, scriptures that came before Tibetan Buddhism, in western Tibet.
The wisdom of the world, sacred writings and other mysterious scriptures can be found there. Several books, poems, stories, included at times in TV shows, and famous movies too, have been written about this idyllic city.
There is also a famous song about Shangri-La in the west, and other famous and cute songs, from different forms of entertainment..
🙏🙏
Some travel agencies, both in Europe and USA, have said, some travelers want to book trips to Shangri-La, or some areas of the Himalayas between India and China.
Whether true or not, these enchanting places are good for tourism, and for travelers looking for different adventures and mythical town.
there is also the rumor that the 9 Wise Men, and keepers of the secret knowledge live in this mythical and beautiful place, where only the good and pure of heart can enter, a place where suffering and illness do not exist, only harmony and peace. During World War II, Hitler sent an expedition to find this mythical place, where his men, and other prominent Nazis planned to escape and stay there forever. Needless to say the German Expedition was unable to find this place.
🙏🙏
"Shambhala is said to be the land of a thousand names. It has been called the Forbidden Land, the Land of White Waters, Land of Radiant Spirits, Land of Living Fire, Land of the Living Gods and Land of Wonders.
The Hindus call it Aryavartha (‘The Land of the Worthy Ones); the Chinese know it as Hsi Tien, the Western Paradise of Hsi Wang Mu; and to the Russian Old Believers, it is known as Belovoyde.
But throughout Asia, it is best known by its Sanskrit name, Shambhala, Shamballa, or Shangri-la the land of paradise." Quote by: ancient origins.net🙏🙏
This special and mythical place, is guarded by the Shambala Guardians
