WHY BRAHMINS AND THEIR  VEDIK-NIGAM  RELIGION CONQUERED MODERN INDIA AND SHAIV AND AGAMIS DEFEATED

SHRIDHAR TILVE-NAIK

 There was no Hindu Religion before BRITISH RAJYA and nobody claimed himself or herself HINDU. EUROPEANS created this category and they included all those who are not CHRISTAN, MUSLIMS, PARSEES, JEWS in this category. It's negative definition and it's much more social and cultural than religious . To take advantage of this situation Brahmins tried their best to loathe their NIGAM religion as HINDU religion and projected themselves as HIGHEST  warna of HINDU RELIGION. The influence of vedik Hindu was so deep that  it was accepted by postbritish Indians. for e. g.

Gandhi, too, has elaborated  the term "Hindu"  in Young India in October, 1921, he says:

I call myself a sanatani Hindu, because,

·       I believe in the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Puranas and all that goes by the name of Hindu scriptures, and therefore in avatars and rebirth.

·       I believe in the Varnashram dharma in a sense in my opinion strictly Vedic, but not in its present popular and crude sense.

·       I believe in the protection of the cow in its much larger sense than the popular.

·       I do not disbelieve in idol-worship. 

It's clear-cut victory of vedik mission

·       Scholars also support it for e g Radhakrishnan has used the term "Hindu" and "Hinduism" in vedik sense in his book titled  The Hindu View of Life . He says that, "The chief sacred scriptures of Hindus, the Vedas register the intuitions of the perfected souls."  Or "Hinduism is the religion not only of the Vedas but of the Epics and the Puranas."  Both statements supports vedik as Hindu equation.

After it Shankaracharya who was completely ignored by SHAIVS for centuries suddenly became HEAD OF HINDU RELIGION. European paradigms were responsible for it . By copying the concept of POPE Brahmins projected SHANKARACHARY as HINDU POPE which wasn't only ridiculous but against INDIAN spirit.

                 All progressive Brahmins have realized that an age of religion and priestly hood  has gone and if they want to regain their power which they have lost in BRITISH STATE they have to abandon their traditional business of priestly hood and enter  and accept new businesses related with science and technology. VARNWYAVSTHA AND JATIVYAVSTHA were main obstacles in their mission . Mercantilism , science and technology belonged to VAISHYA AND SHUDRAS in the traditional setup and this traditional setup sponsored by them was going against them. They wanted POLITICAL POWER AFTER INDEPENDENCE and traditional setup allowed political power only to KSHATRIYAS. Naturally Brahmins who wanted POLITICAL POWER, KNOWLEDGE AND MONEY were no more interested in WARNWYAWSTHA AND JATIWYAVSTHA as both systems were going against their interests. On other level they want religious control over masses. So under roof of SECULARISM they kept their religious freedom to remain VEDIK-NIGAM safe so that only BRAHMIN can become SHANKARACHARY so-called head of so called HINDU RELIGION. Through secularism they  kept their priestly interest safe and empowered themselves through all temples. Brahmins are still head of all VEDIK-NIGAM TEMPLES AND IN SOME CASES OF RICH SHAIV TEMPLES. Nobody is challenging it because it is running safely in the name of secularism. In HINDI there is a proverb ''chitbhi meri patbhi meri'' means ''In tossing head belongs to me and tale also'' means  in reality ''religion belongs to me , science and political power belongs to me,  technology and commerce belongs to me and as an entertainment is creating profit an acting the traditional job of SHUDRAS also belongs to me''

               I am not criticizing it but just showing the real structure of mind set up of modern Brahmin. If they are true MODERN then they should just give up the priestly hood AND POST OF SHANKARACHARY TO NON-BRAHMINS. They will never do it because it's still profitable equation for them. So the question arises '' for whom the secularism works  profitably'' An answer is very clear '' for Brahmins''

So next question arises '' How every time Brahmins achieve success in crisis?'' For that we have to understand  ''THE PRINCIPLES OF VEDIK-NIGAM RELIGIONS''

·       1 ''MANTRA'' is the key of VEDIK-NIGAM religion and definition of Brahmin is related with MANTRA. BRAHMIN means a man( no woman has constructed any MANTRA in Vedas) who constructs or structures ''MANTRA'' Any man  can become Brahmin by constructing MANTRA. This definition creates deep respect for words and through words for knowledge. The respect for new MANTRA new KNOWLEDGE gives possibility to change and capacity to adapt oneself to new MANTRA OR TO NEW KNOWLEDGE.

·       2 The whole tradition of Vedas respects ''PROPER PRONOUNCIATION'' and ''ORATERY''. Naturally Brahmins have become master of communication and oratory. Their speeches create deep miraculous impact and hypnotic effect on audience. Balasaheb Thakre and Atalbihari Vajpayee are recent examples.

·       3 ''Yagdna'' is their main religious ceremony and in this ceremony they only demands and never gives anything to anybody. They always guest the ceremony. The addiction to demand from HOST and gain it is still preserve in BRAHMINS and Brahmins never feel ashamed while demanding. This NONASHAMELESSNESS makes them more open and if they want something they just get it by consistent demand.

·       4 RIGVED was constructed by around 360 rishis of 10  rishikulas and they have mutual understanding without competition while doing it . Naturally as BRAHMINS they can cooperate to each other for the self interest of community with diverse interest in nonlinear way.

·       5 All VEDIK-NIGAM mantras are consistently asking for violence for protection , enough DHAN for survival, long life for body and lifelong healthy bodies. All Brahmins are still striving for these things. These are materialistic body oriented demands and whole VEDIK-NIGAM structure is praying for it. They can easily accept violence and they believe VIOLENCE . Their all deities are violent and their current deity KRISHNA has given full support to VIOLENCE . Rather GITA has been delivered to ARJUN to provoke to do violence against his relatives.

·       6 VEDIK Religion doesn't believe parlok , heaven and hell. Naturally they want to live life in this world in fullest possibility. They just don't bother about ''otherworldliness'' but for their own self interest they can preach ''otherworldliness'' and earned money or dhan from others. They use ''otherworldliness'' to control  KSHATRIYAS.

·       7 Their DEITIES aren't mortal . Their DEITIES are also MORTAL. Due to this stand they can abandon their own accepted current deities anytime and accepted new deities. This gives them flexibility in adaption of deities. It also created death for their ancient deities like INDRA AND VARUNA AND MIHIR OR SURYA. But it also helped them to accept new deities like RAM , KRISHNA AND VISHNU.

·       8 VEDIK Religion don't believe in MOKSHA OR NIRWANA OR SANNYAS OR REBIRTH but  BRAHMINS can  use them to establish their VERTICAL AXIS OF POWER. So whenever situation demands they just threw this theology and do things which will safeguard their self-interest.

·       9 Anybody could  enter in any VARN in VEDIK-NIGAM religion but when they came in contact with SHAIVAS they stopped VARNANTAR and created rigid model of ''VARN BY BIRTH'' through  which they safeguarded  their own VEDIK-NIGAM COMMUNITY.

''FLEXIBILITY FOR BRAHMINS AND RIGIDITY FOR OTHERS ''

is their new mantra and in the name of ''APADDHARM'' they have given validity to it. It's height of shamelessness but Brahmins just don't bother about it. This APADDHARM has given them right to do anything in crisis and YENKENPRAKAREN has become their policy.

·       10 SOMRASPRASHAN i e consumption of wine and liquor is allowed in VEDIK religion . Naturally Brahmins adapted new liquor culture immediately in the name of SOMRASPRASHAN.

·       11 VEDIK Religion is based on SANSKARAS and all sanskarvidhis connect whole family strongly. Some sanskaras are related with EDUCATION which makes education compulsory. This compulsion of  EDUCATION always keep BRAHMINS update about knowledge and they become obvious leader for every field where education is necessary.

·       12 They are vehement opposer of their foes and prayed for destruction of enemies in many RUCHAS . They can carry SHATRUTW AND DUSHMNI to death end. This fighting spirit has provided them intellectual vigour . In VEDAS they mentioned BHAGWAN SHIV as SHISHNDEV and asked protection from Vinayak. In later period they accepted all SHAIV DEITIES  and STARTED worship also. Worst adaptation is PANCHAYATAN BY SHANKARACHAARYA in which out of five deities (panchaytan)  three deities (SHIV, GANAPATI AND DEVI) are SHAIV deities .

·       13 Marriage is compulsory in VEDIK religion but in later period they accept SANNYAS. Concept of GOTRA created imaginary continuity of VEDIK religion for them and through all these gotras they accommodated all NONVEDIK jatis  and through VARNAVYAVSTHA they kept perfect distance from them. They learned perfect diplomacy from this policy and literary ruling INDIANS by keeping perfect distance from each cast and creating INFERIOR COMPLEX in each caste .  '' SEPARATE AND RULE'' is their policy and they are using it in perfect balance.

All these heritage are consistently keeping BRAHMINS above SHAIVS after 1000 A D as SHAIV literally abandoned Education and Knowledge and in later centuries consistent appearance of famines and floods literally broke down their backbone which paved the way for VAISHNAV RELIGION. Unfortunately in 20th century also instead of realizing their shakti NONBRAHMINS are only blaming BRAHMINS  avoiding taking responsibility of failures over self-shoulders. I am not saying VEDIK-NIGAM religion is good or best but I am just elaborating  it's supply of empowerment in development of  BRAHMIN.

                I hope we can understand VEDIK-NIGAM RELIGION through  abovementioned analysis. I discussed  VEDIK-NIGAM RELIGION in contemporary scenario because we generally assumed that POLYDEITISM is backward religion BUT it seems that POLYDEITISM has done wonders for BRAHMINS IN INDIA.
