3. As for brahmin unity and organization, it would be better if the members who come here speaking about organising the brahmins go and join an existing organisation of brahmins and contribute their mite there. The tendency on the part of brahmins to have a pocket borough each is notorious. Why not join a local bhajan mandali, seva group, satkalakshepa sabha, brahmin association, ganesh mandali, kalakshepa ghoshti in vishnu temples, Kotha ghoshti in vaishnavite neighbourhoods and offer the services to the community. Instead of each one starting a new organization, it would be worth your while to join an existing one and then try to organise in a bigger way by uniting the members and making it become a larger statelevel or nation level organisation taking in like minded other brahmins organisations. There are thousands of such organisations there. Dont add a thousandoneth to this list.
Sir,
I am in favour of this suggestion. Instead of going in for a new Charity/Trust, etc to help the needy, this assistance can be well organized combining with the existing ones.
AFAIK the Tamil Nadu Brahmins Association is organizing (1) Samashti Upanayam, (2) Samashti Vivahams, (3) Educational aid on merit cum means basis (4) Marriage aid to poor and Medical aid to the deserving poor (5) Establish and run senior citizen Homes exclusively for Brahmins, (6) Vasthra dhanam to the poor and meeting the cost of Aparakaryam of the helpless, etc among other activities and services. The Branch of our area is doing a good job.
