@Namami_Bharatam @VijaiSardesai ,Did you forget that you are indeed Saraswat Brahmana?Saptakoteshwar temple was saved by your ancestors?My ancestors are staying far away from Goa and aware of Saraswat Brahmin massacre by Portuguese.I am proud of my ancestors didn’t left dharma at any cost.
You?

Why the selective empathy, CM Goa? You have time to meet those crying over Francis Xavier’s reality, but zero time for Hindu groups bleeding from constant insults to Bhagwan Parashuram. This is blatant Hindu-phobia under the garb of governance. The dishonor of Bhagwan Parashuram by these groups is ignored. Is your "Secularism" only for the vote bank?
Namami Bharatam 🚩@Namami_Bharatam
How much more will we tolerate? It's high time we speak up against the blatant disrespect and abuse directed towards Hindus, our deities, and Bhagwan Parashuram in Goa - both online and offline. For too long, certain groups have misused the very secularism that allows them to thrive in this country to insult the faith of the majority. These ricebag converts seem to have no respect for the land and the people they live among. But let it be clear: Hindus are no longer silent or sleeping. Recently, over 300 local Hindus gathered in Goa, submitting concrete evidence of these abuses and filing FIRs against those responsible. We are awake and unified. This is a direct message to the government: we expect immediate and firm action. The protection of our faith and beliefs is non-negotiable. Will the authorities act now, or will they continue to let this toxicity spread? We are watching.

@krishpera @indologia No this is generalised statement.The settlement of shanapati(Shenvi) were always pescatarians but settlement of salsette were strict vegetarians with high Vedic knowledge.Till date they are present in coastal Karnataka following Madhwa Sampradaya.
>70% are strict vegetarians.
English
@indologia High praise indeed. It’s interesting that a sizeable section of those same Goan Saraswat Brahmins have now become non-vegetarian… we even heard a Sardesai proudly declare his love for beef steak.
English
This is what Portugese Administrator Tomé Pires wrote about the Goans of 16th century.
There are a great many heathens in this kingdom of Goa, more than in the kingdom of the Deccan.
Some are very honoured men with large fortunes & almost the whole kingdom lies in their hands, because they are natives, possess the land & pay the taxes.
Some are noblemen with many followers & lands of their own & are persons of great repute & wealthy & live on their estates.
They have beautiful temples of their own in this kingdom. They have Brahmans of many kinds.
There are some very honoured stock among these Brahmans. Some of them will not eat anything which has contained blood or anything prepared by the hand of another.
These Brahmans are greatly revered throughout the country, particularly among the heathen.
They are clever, prudent, learned in their religion. A Brahman would not become a Mohammedan even if he were made a king.

@gr_kini @Biorahul @indologia Mr.Kini indeed it’s non other than your ancestors .
The only Brahmins(Bamons) of Goa in salsette,bardesh and other areas were Saraswat Brahmins.Local population called only Saraswat Brahmins as Bamon(Doing Vedic rituals) and shanavapati(Administrator).
English
@Biorahul @indologia They have not mentioned specifically about the Saraswat brahmins. But story is right and our family deity temples all are in goa only.
English
@Liraaswa @krishpera @indologia No the sahasasti and bardesh settlements were strict vegetarians and the same people were visited by Madhwacharya during 13th century to propagated Madhwa sampradaya.
The same people migrated to coastal Karnataka and Cochin.Till date they are strict vegetarians.Bhat,Pandit etc
English
@krishpera @indologia Gsb were non-vegetarians from the very start.

Saraswat (in his earlier birth) when he comes to know that he is reborn in a kokanastha family.

@Brutu24 Yen olata du daily 🤔
Ugra olata aytu,ugra memorandum aytu.Just understand you cannot force anything on anyone weather it is language or religion,you can deny to learn Hindi but you cannot deny others to learn Hindi.Likewise you can learn Kannada but you cannot force.1/2

2 points here..
* We South indians should never ask anyone to learn our language. Respect their individual rights
* Be bold enough to say I'm a Malayali, Tamilian, Kannadiga, Telugu first. That's my identity. Indian is a citizenship and we are not Pseudo Nationalist

@WeDravidians Dumbest admin 😂
1.Pancha gaud Brahmins generally are Pescatarians.There are sizable number of strict vegetarians in GSB(Madhwas).
2.shetty are bunts and GSB are Brahmins.
3.Can’t you understand by the banana leaf format that Brahmins won’t eat like that?
Bangladesh PM😆

Q: Do Saraswat Brahmins eat fish?
A: Yes — especially in coastal regions like Goa, Karnataka & Maharashtra.
Goud Saraswat Brahmins (GSBs) traditionally consume fish, calling it "sea vegetable" — a cultural adaptation to their coastal lifestyle.
Brahmin ≠ Always Vegetarian.

@starsurya1992 @WeDravidians Learn about Pancha gaud and Pancha Dravida food habits.Coastal sarawat Brahmins have karma ,Vidhya and marriage connection with Kashmir pandits ,Panjabi Saraswat Brahmins etc JFYI
English
@WeDravidians this is why aryavartha and dravida brahmins dont have any relationship with them , in karma or in vidhya or in marriage .
English
@muralichappadi @WeDravidians Who told you that ?
All the temples of Goa including kuldev temple of kadamba ,Popular walkeshwar temple,Kerala Ananteshwara temple etc they are Head priests.
English
@WeDravidians GSBs & SBs are not allowed to be priests in traditional temples of either Kerala or Karnataka or Maharashtra
They become priests only in temples established by their own community
English
@DDTaulava @TrumannNeumann @WeDravidians Wrong information,Walkeshwar(bal Ganga),Anatheshwar ,all temples in Goa ,few temples in Haridwar etc there are mukhya pandits in this temple.GSB with the surname Bhat,Purohit,Acharya,Joshi,pandit generally will be in Bhat profession .
English
@TrumannNeumann @WeDravidians Konkani Brahmins are preists only at venkataramana temples.. which said to established by them only
English
@Ad_Tel_210168 @WeDravidians Don’t give baseless statement if you eat you should mentioned are “I” not “we” as you are not representing whole GSB.There are majority strict vegetarians are there in GSB mainly those who follow Madhwa sect.
Pancha Gaud Brahmins don’t have restrictions.
English
@WeDravidians I can confirm this.
(I'm GSB by birth, over which I had no control. I am a staunch follower of Dr Ambedkar by choice.)
Fish is the GSB community's staple diet.
But almost all of us eat chicken, mutton, pork, etc. very regularly.

Another "Strong Notice" in Kannada issued to the watchman of an apartment tower, who doesn’t understand Kannada.

Deadly fight against English continues… A shop dared to put 60% English on its name board, so a “strong notice” was issued to the watchman of that store, along with a terrifying one-week deadline to fix it. Flower ❌ Fire ✅

@GuNaateeta GSB are indeed satkarma Brahmins,Sasasti and bardesh were main settlement of Vedic culture.
When Portuguese destroyed all the temples few of them joined trading,till date in mangalore and partagali traditional vedapatashala exists.Refer 1630 and 1675 verdicts of Kashi pandits.
English
@Durga_Dasa Saraswatas from Goa only had rights to 3 karmas, out of 6 karmas prescribed for Brahmanas, due to fish consumption. We are a heterogenous lot with varied mentalities. At the best, we are Vaishyas in temperament. Very few true Brahmins left here.
English
@The___brahmans @I_am_Vedvrat Maharashtra data is just selective of few district.
There are only 5 type of Brahmins namely Deshastha(40% of Brahmins),chitpavan,Gaud Saraswat,karhade and Devrukhe.
In that 3 Brahmins name is missing 😆.
I am sure they are atleast 13%.
English
@I_am_Vedvrat It's close enough!
Brahmans were second largest in rajasthan, United province (up, uttrakhand) , Bihar and Orissa in 1931.
In the Bombay presidency they too were in good numbers .
English
@The___brahmans Hedge kageri,R V Deshpande,vedavyas Kamat ,Anantkumar Hegde.Just speaking about coastal 3 districts.
Don’t they have any Brahmins hold in other district?
Can 2% give MLAs !
Think.
English
@The___brahmans I don’t think in karanataka it is just 2%!
There is problem in analysing data-Brahmins in south karanataka just mention themself as Brahmins.
In costal Karnataka they add caste name Ex:Havkyaka,Gaud Saraswat,Stanika,Madhwa,Shivalli,Hoysala Karnataka suffixed as Brahmins.(1/2)
English
@The___brahmans In north Karnataka they introduce themself as Deshastha,Madhwa,Rayaramatha suffixed by Brahmins.So in census they consider only the people mention just as Brahmins.Verify the list you will find all other caste in that list.
Ex:Havyaka+Gaud Saraswat =4 MLA ,1 MP.Verify
