Saraswat Brahmins have played a very important role in preserving the Vedas and Indian culture. Not only they have preserved, but they have spread it as well to all over India. They did this inspite of persecution and other problems over the centuries. I hope Saraswat Brahmins and Gaud Saraswat Brahmins keep their identity, culture, and practices alive in times to come. Best wishes
I observed one thing about Durga. When I visited Gaya, in a museum I saw small Kali moorti 3500 old. In Goa, Shanta Durga temple I saw Durga temple sitting in Lotus state with a sword held downwards in her hands. So, assuming Sarawats came from North...can best be shown by Durga postures. In North it is fighting mode and in Goa she is calm.
My surname is Pinto, and my fathers side were GSB, they were landlords into farming, my ancestors converted to Christianity but wanted to keep their Indian culture alive but were not allowed too, they moved from Goa and went to what is now South Canara , the then noble or king (i am not getting the name) wanted landlords and farmers to farm and promote agriculture, and hence they settled there, i am proud of being Indian and we were taught Konkani from childhood as the first language , my mom speaks Kannada as well and obviously Tulu , my Moms side are also the same, my ancestors fought Tipu Sultan to preserve their identity, they were imprisoned but managed to fled and settled in Padukone and though many have moved to cities and abroad we still have family there, my Fathers side are from Gangoly all these villages are in south canara and fall under Udupi district, just to put into perspective i am 3rd generation born and bought up in Mumbai living in UK

wow , i always asked my mom about our history n how did GSB evolved , she told me couple of story which you mentioned but today again i wanted to check so i gave a try in youtube and found your video. im so excited after knowing our history is so so old .. thank you for sharing our history or we can say the roots of GSB...
Jairamji ki,Avadh Bihari kankar was the elder brother of my father PK sharma (father of both were brothers), he was famous for riding bull carts in the area, his only alive son's name is Sharad. 1 of my school friend sumetu committed suicide just before appearing in 12th class higher secondary board examination in NU district in MP in y2k, this public comment is relevant due to many reasons and concerning sachin pilgaonkar also a prestigious sarashwat bramhin. Btw in my village bohani, gaur is the surname presented and used by kurmi caste somewhere they use patel surname which is used by kushwaha caste in my area, and also by few more castes.

I'm an NKGSB (North Kanara Gaud Saraswat Brahmin) from Goa. My mother's maiden name is Nadkarni and my father's surname is Wagh. We have our kul daivat at Mangeshi in Goa or Gomantak.
I am from Bengal gotra Dhanvantari(Baidya Brahmin).My family says that we are actually Mohyal Saraswat.Our Kulpanjika also says that but can't able to got any reference.
I was really interested to know about gaud Saraswat brahmins, just one thing if I may bring to your notice that Dogra Brahmins of Jammu ( Jammu Province is different from Kashmir Province ethnically) are almost entirely Saraswat Brahmins, ( ethnically closer to Saraswat Brahmins of our neighbor Punjab and Himachal). Really appreciate your work.
@Kabir S Yes as far as I guess it's around less than 10% of total Brahmins in UP. Actually many people confuse Jammu and Kashmir as all Kashmiris, but don't know that Dogra Brahmins who're almost entirely Saraswat Brahmins and natives of Jammu province, adjoining parts/ districts of Himachal and Punjab are more in number than KPs who're natives of Kashmir.
Namaskaru, Please can you put me in touch with the lady who created this video? I am doing some research of my own and would be greatly helped by being able to connect with her. Grateful if you can help, please.
The Saraswat Brahmins first came to Bengal when the river Saraswati dried up and lived there for many centuries before migrating from there to Konkan region in Goa , in today Bengal's Gauḍa is located at 24°52′N 88°08′E. It is now ribboned with the Bangladesh-India border, with most of its ruins on the Indian side and a few structures on the Bangladeshi side, it was once one of the most populous cities in the world. The ruins of this former city now straddle the international border and are divided between the Malda district of West Bengal and Chapai Nawabganj District of Rajshahi Division of Bangladesh. The Kotwali Gate, formerly part of the citadel, now marks the border checkpoint between the two countries. This region is still known as Gaud. Gauda was one of the most prominent capitals in the history of Bengal and the history of the Indian subcontinent, and a centre of stately medieval architecture. Gauda gradually became synonymous with Bengal and Bengalis, that is why the Saraswat Brahmins who migrated again from Bengal were called GAUD SARASWATS Those who stayed back in Bengal are having mostly the titles of Dasgupta, Sengupta, Gupta, Das and Roy. They were known for their exceptional skills and knowledge in medical sciences that is why they were respected as' Baidya' meaning doctor. That is why their Gotra is Dhanwantari in Bengal. They are still among the creme de la creme of the Bengali society's upper crust since then. These people on their way to Bengal for the first time encountered snakes, crocodiles, tigers, rice and tribal people in the forests which were unknown in their holy land of Sapta-Sindhu, the most stunning encounter was with the Brahmins of Bengal who spoke in Sanskrit, they never expected this, that a Sanskrit speaking Brahmin people will be living in Bengal, they pondered, how these people acquired the knowledge of Sanskrit. There were more surprises; they found that the deities worshipped in Bengal were different; most notably they were not Vedic deities, they also found that 'Chandi' a Sanskrit text was followed instead of the Vedas, in Bengal thus the Vedic religion collided with the indigenous religion and that is how Sanatana Dharma became Hindu Dharma; which shaped up with Puja, Aarti and Archana of idols which were neither as per the Vedic rituals nor in obeisance to the Vedic deities. The Saraswat Brahmins gave up barley, fruits and milk and became rice and fish eaters in Bengal and took up the medical profession because the typical priestly class of Brahmins was already well entrenched in Bengal by then. Obviously they were not liking their status and role in Bengal which further got jeopardised with the arrival of Kulin Brahmins from Kanya Kubja during the Gupta age, they migrated to other lands not only Konkan but also to Punjab and UP. Some Tyagis are Saraswat brahmins of Punjab and western UP who had lived in Bengal for many centuries before moving there although there are many Tyagis who are Bhoomihars in Rajasthan, Haryana also apart from their presence in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. Most interesting part is that the there were more than twelve recensions of Saraswat migrations. Some Konkan Saraswat Brahmins who had migrated to Goa came back to Bengal and settled here permanently. The Saraswat brahmins in Bengal played a very positive role in the society's Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment.
What approximate period did the Saraswats migrate to Bengal ? Think their later migration to Goa was due to reduced hegemony after Magadh became Buddhist.
Saraswat Aryan were fish eating Brahmins who lived along saraswati river and migrated to bengal and konkan and still eat fish these were intellectuals Vedic Brahmins
@@rahulsaraswat1504 Wow. I read about Aryans in history I guess. So our actual origin is Pakistan? Or did we just immigrate to Pak from somewhere else? I think I have to get my DNA tested lol.
Hi I am also a SARASWAT BRAHMIN. Does it make one Brahmin. ? No it doesn't. The reason is BECAUSE WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS. THAT'S RIGHT. NO GOD. NO RELIGION. THIS ALONE IS TRUTH 👍🤣 150 million years ago Dinosaur 🦖🦕 lived here.
Yes Brahmins are those that at some time in history managed to get social-privilege. Its not bad if they were solely into spiritual-aspects, but they wanted land, to reproduce, children, wealth etc, which is not how the priestly class in Burma or Thailand behave.
The genuine analysis an honest objective one: All proven data makes evident that the great Aryan Race originated in Northwestern Indian subcontinent and touching Central Asia. Sarasvat Brahmans are pure Aryans thus their origin is in this wider region. So where is the genuine Sarasvati River? Rajesh Kochhar is probably the closest in his analysis of Aryan people. The genuine Sarasvati River was in this region. The Avesta informs us The Helmand historically besides Avestan Haetumant bore the name Haraxvaiti, which is the Avestan form cognate to Sanskrit Sarasvati. This is the closest to the truth. Ignore Wikipedia it is run by certain people for their agenda has no credibility except is scientific data to some extent. See what the highly credible and brilliant Viktor Ivanovich Sarianidi demonstrated beyond doubt: czcams.com/video/IVlO7_w6JRA/video.html Clearly the Turks are non-Aryans and arrived in the region of this video much later. The ancient Aryavarta included the region of modern Afghanistan and the Himalayas passed through it.

They did this inspite of persecution and other problems over the centuries. I hope Saraswat Brahmins and Gaud Saraswat Brahmins keep their identity, culture, and practices alive in times to come.
