Rahul Gandhi is my brother

I'm starting to see why Muslim Kashmiris don't like Pandits...

(before I get barraged with hate, please take note that I'm joking)

Er but you surely haven't read them properly .

The Gautama Dharmasutra states in verse 10.3 that it is obligatory on a Brahmin to learn and teach the Vedas. Chapter 10 of the text, according to Olivelle translation, states that he may impart Vedic instructions to a teacher, relative, friend, elder, anyone who offers exchange of knowledge he wants, or anyone who pays for such education.The Chapter 10 adds that a Brahmin may also engage in agriculture, trade, lend money on interest, while Chapter 7 states that a Brahmin may engage in the occupation of a warrior in the times of adversity.Typically, asserts Gautama Dharmasutra, a Brahmin should accept any occupation to sustain himself but avoid the occupations of a Shudra, but if his life is at stake a Brahmin may sustain himself by accepting occupations of a Shudra.The text forbids a Brahmin from engaging in the trade of animals for slaughter, meat, medicines and milk products even in the times of adversity.

The Manusmriti recommends that a Brahmin's occupation must never involve forbidden activities such as producing or trading poison, weapons, meat, trapping birds and others.It also lists six occupations that it deems proper for a Brahmin: teaching, studying, offering yajna, officiating at yajna, giving gifts and accepting gifts.Of these, states Manusmriti, three which provide a Brahmin with a livelihood are teaching, officiating at yajna, and accepting gifts.The text states that teaching is best, and ranks the accepting of gifts as the lowest of the six. In the times of adversity, Manusmriti recommends that a Brahmin may live by engaging in the occupations of the warrior class, or agriculture or cattle herding or trade. Of these, Manusmriti in verses 10.83–10.84 recommends a Brahmin should avoid agriculture if possible because, according to Olivelle translation, agriculture "involves injury to living beings and dependence of others" when the plow digs the ground and injures the creatures that live in the soil.However, adds Manusmriti, even in the times of adversity, a Brahmin must never trade or produce poison, weapons, meat, soma, liquor, perfume, milk and milk products, molasses, captured animals or birds, beeswax, sesame seeds or roots.

BTW you do realise yogi adityanath is Kshatriya not Brahmin .


You basically listed the do's and dont's of a brahmin but you didnt respond @Nilu Pule Statement about brahmins being priests only.


PS: A brahim is not allowed agriculture because if they plow the soil it might hurt the creatures living inside the soil but when farmers from other caste plow the soil and kill these creatures to harvest vegetables and fruits a brahim is allowed to eat and gobble down those vegetables and fruits???

Hypocrisy or Plain Stupidity??

Anyone from upper caste could be a priest in past . If you don't believe I can't do shit about it .

It's neither stupidity nor plain hypocrisy . Most Brahmins were involved in agriculture . Most didn't gave shit to what dharamsutras prescribed .

Brahmins eat meat but dharamsutras often speak in opposition to that .

When you say upper caste we presume thats Brahmins right? If Not than Well you have been posting your hindu scriptures about do's and dont's of brahmins than why not post scriptures about Other caste being a priest too? Or thats just ur imagination/pressumption about your religion ?

Who cares what the brahmins do. Your scriptures gives specific instructions not to plow fields to save creatures living inside the soil yet it's perfectly okay to eat vegetables and fruits that other caste farmers harvest by ploughing and killing these creatures!!! Thats outright hypocrisy isnt it???
