- "Brahmin Genocide": the book that has created a lot of stir among readers, is coming out as a second edition. Does the title aim to provoke sensation? What does "Brahmin Genocide" mean and why is it specific to one community? The speaker provides straightforward answers to these questions. Hinduphobia is concentrated in one community, specifically as "Brahmophobia." This bias has persisted into independent India, influenced by colonial-era narratives and misinterpretations of ancient texts such as the Purusha Sukta. The impact of Critical Race Theory and social media on perpetuating hate speech has the potential to bring forth another situation like genocide. The need for awareness of these issues is of the essence, isn't it?
About The Speaker:
Mahalingam Balaji, hailing from a lineage of Vedic scholars, had a successful corporate career spanning nearly three decades. He has held numerous leadership positions both in India and internationally, earning recognition for his strategic acumen and extensive experience in establishing and guiding global research and analytics teams. Currently, he aims to establish institutional mechanisms to support research on the Bhartiya Parampara tradition. A key priority for him is to counteract the prevailing narrative of animosity towards practitioners of Sanatan Dharma, particularly the Brahmin community. Writing under the pen name "Asi," Balaji passionately advocates for the preservation and celebration of India's rich cultural heritage.

How many Hindus knew about Ram setu name was changed to Adam’s bridge? They changed many names of our places, destroyed gurukulas and now want to completely annihilate our identities??
What happens if a name is changed?
Vishnuh himself has a 1000 names
Problem with Indians today is that we go by what is outside and forgetting the treasure that is inside . . Our Aatma
Which is what the sages of india had been after
Going for polished metal and leaving aside the real gold. . . Western influence
@@remyaa5612 - For an enlightened person name has no real significance. For any body else names, deities and identities do matter where majority of the population is.
Sita was not kidnapped and taken to Sri Lanka, but off Gujarat Coast. Go read up on Soparaka. That was the original Lanka.
Exactly sir
If we go behind names we will remain where we are
We have to move forward to a state where we realise that the hand of God is behind everything that happens in the world
To be able to do that do simple things for eg : naama japa. Will take us a long way forward., where we ll find a little light in the darkness
Otherwise we r stagnant or even moving backwards
Thank you, Balaji Mahalingam for this beautifully elucidated clarification on Brahmophobia.
#Brahmophobia #Hinduphobia
हम मां भारती और सनातन धर्म की संतानें है और अब इसकी रक्षा करने के लिये अब हमे जैल में जाना पड़े तो भले लेकिन दुश्मनों के खिलाफ जोरों से बोले बिना डरे ❤. भारत माता की जय 🙏. सनातन धर्म की जय 🙏
It’s a weapon to convert everyone eventually by dismantling the strongest link???
Many of the comments here demonstrate how real and serious Brahmophobia is!
I don't think any Brahmin or say any other caste of Bharat should justify our own culture & beliefs. We did this earlier & that's why we're in a backfoot. Let all Hindus remain exactly as how they're born & brought up and STAND UNITED & AS 1... That's all that matters, afterall whom do Bharat have to convince but for building our Bharat ??!
Very good quote i appreciate your comment.kindly make a brief for last few words
So you basically don't believe in our scriptures
@@GalaxyImpact200you should read it again it’s not rigid.
@@hj2711 its not rigid among the subdivisions but rigid for the four main divisions
I would like to request the younger generation who so ever they are but truly Indians and love Maa Bharati should start learning Sanskrit literature to know the reality and to answer these wrong narratives of Indian holy scriptures .
🙏🙏🙏
Every community in India would be some way be a minority and deserve to nurtured and supported. Easiest for such community would be to become part of main stream so that you become majority. With the wisdom of Mr.Mahalingam, he can always do research and give to his community to come out of this 'thinking'. India comprises of multi-ethnic, multi-religious, multi-linguistic and multi-cultural diverse country. Let the whole world see us living and celebrating together. Don't call anyone 'untouchable' that's how the hatred started, let's correct it. Celebrate ONE INDIA. Jai Hind.
People do not know what a Braahmana is, even people who beleive them selves to be a braahmana
The word Brahmana is from the scriptures.
Right now People have made their own meaning for the word.
No one can hate a Brahmaba. If u look st a Braahmana s planetary configuration at birth it will be seen than it has a very strong Guru connected to the lagna or moon meaning that being a Braahmana is not an accident of nature.
To know what a Braahmana is , chapter 18 bhagavad gita / bhagavad purana vol 7 , chapter 12 to 15
Some PERSONS do not know how to spell simple words.
🐟 20. BRĀHMAṆA (THE PRIESTHOOD):
THE PRIESTHOOD DEFINED:
A PRIEST (“brāhmaṇa”, in Sanskrit) is defined as a man who promulgates teachings and performs rituals, on behalf of a particular religious or metaphysical tradition. He should possess all saintly qualities, such as cleanliness (which is, as they say, “next to godliness”), peacefulness, austerity, intelligence, wisdom, renunciation, tolerance, patience, humility, and of course, moral uprightness and religiosity. This does not imply that a priest must possess those virtues to a perfect extent, but he ought to have each quality to at least a reasonably-high degree.
Even if a man seems to be a genuine priest superficially, if he is severely lacking in even one of the clerical qualities, he cannot rightly be called a “priest”. Therefore, a dumb cleric or a dirty cleric does not, by definition, exist. As explained in the previous chapter, priests (more precisely, World Teachers) are the authoritative heads of society, thus virtue is paramount, so be wary of the multitude of PHONY “priests” in the world!
N.B. In this chapter, and in this book, the terms “priest”, “spiritual master”, “(genuine) spiritual teacher”, “World Teacher”, “guru/jagadguru”, “brāhmaṇa”, “Avatāra/Avatar”, “Prophet”, “clergy”, and “cleric”, are fundamentally SYNONYMOUS, for they all refer to those excruciatingly-scarce men, who both possess the priestly qualities, and serve their communities in the role of teachers of authentic religion and morality.
THE ROLE OF A PRIEST:
As noted in the previous chapter, priests constitute the leadership of humanity, and are responsible for its moral and spiritual development. It is crucial to note that a priest is not required to teach just anyone and everyone in his community. Traditionally, priests (at least those who are worthy of the designation) were commissioned to teach only two groups of MALES: the rulers of society (see the following chapter vis-à-vis the monarchy), and monastics (normally boys and/or adolescents, known as “śiṣya”, in Sanskrit) in his home-school (“gurukulam”, in Sanskrit).
Furthermore, it is imperative that priests assess the qualifications of each prospective disciple, such as the boy’s/man’s level of intelligence, his sincerity, and humility, in order to ascertain his suitability as a student. As Lord Jesus Christ once so rightly suggested, one should desist giving what is holy to dogs (that is, those who are hostile to righteous precepts). ULTIMATELY, the spiritual master is discerning which of his disciples will succeed him as the head of his teaching ministry. In other words, the teacher is hoping to find that young man amongst his pupils, who most fully embodies the aforementioned brahminical (that is, priestly) attributes, so that his valuable lessons are not forever lost to humanity.
A perfect analogy for why a priest should teach only the two aforementioned groups of males, is with any world-class musician. Arguably the greatest pianist in history was Franz Liszt Ferenc, a Hungarian virtuoso, who lived in the nineteenth century. Quite coincidentally, Liszt became ordained in the Catholic Church in his fifties. Not only did Abbé Liszt tutor other concert pianists, but, just like priests, he did so at no monetary charge whatsoever. If he had taught novice musicians, he would have misused his valuable time, because his advanced students could have easily taught beginners (or could have taught even the TEACHERS of those novices). Therefore, if one happens to witness a (supposed) priest who regularly instructs any group of persons other than the aforementioned two groups of males, it is absolutely certain that he is a fraud.
WHAT DO PRIESTS TEACH?
Contrary to popular understanding, the clergy not only teach religious studies, but all things obligatory for living a healthy and happy life, such as languages, history, basic mathematics, hygiene, diet, and most especially, ethics. If a particular student shows himself to NOT be inclined towards the life of a monastic, the guru will send him to another master, in order to be apprenticed in a different occupation, such as the military, business, engineering, medicine, accounting, labouring, etcetera. The modern system of schooling, in which every child is taught the same curriculum (and, invariably, indoctrinated into becoming a servile minion of the state), has been the source of much misery for society.
As explained elsewhere in this “A Final Instruction Sheet for Humanity”, a priest’s disciples instruct, in turn, their OWN subordinates, including their wives and adult sons. It is not practical, or even possible, for a brāhmaṇa to effectively teach every single individual in his community on a personal level, assuming, of course, that everybody in his community would actually want to study religion/yoga and law/dharma. Fortunately, there is a system in place where all citizens may benefit of the teaching of a true priest (see Chapters 19 and 27 regarding societal hierarchies).
ARE PROPHETS MEMBERS OF THE PRIESTHOOD?
On occasion, “God” (or to be more precise, The Impersonal Self, acting via the preordained narrative of this universe) gives specific messages via chosen individuals, whether they be priests or not. However, such messages are usually intended to be spoken to an individual, or group of individuals, with specific (and invariably, temporal) repercussions for those individuals in question. This corresponds to the ancient lineage of prophetic figures found in monotheistic traditions. Such “prophets” can NEVER replace a man who has evolved (over millions of lifetimes?) to become a fully-enlightened, saintly prophet, appointed to teach “dharma” to humanity. Unfortunately, such World Teachers incarnate very rarely on earth, and when they do appear, are often assassinated by the illegitimate rulers of their nations, or by other demonic elements of society. Even the most vile political leaders have a certain proportion of the populace that adores them. However, virtually everyone despises the gentle, humble, holy men who dare speak the truth about the state of contemporary society, and point-out the multitude of extant sins.
GENUINE PRIESTS ARE EXTREMELY SCARCE:
There are literally hundreds of thousands of individuals in this world who claim to be religious leaders/teachers (“guru”, in Sanskrit). Nearly all of them are either working-class guys, businessmen, or women, acting under pretence. However, as mentioned in the chapter distinguishing enlightenment from liberation and awakening (Chapter 17), a genuinely-enlightened spiritual preceptor is VERY rare indeed. Even much of the teachings of universally-recognized Avatars (supposed incarnations of the Divine) were far from accurate, what to speak of the precepts of lesser authorities! This lack of authentic spiritual guidance, is the major reason for the decadent state of present-day society (and previous decadent societies), apart, perhaps, from the paucity of legitimate government leadership (see Chapter 22 regarding illegitimate governances).
One of the biggest misconceptions in this regard, is that a monk, simply by virtue of shaving his scalp and wearing some kind of monastic robe, is automatically a spiritual master. As demonstrated within this chapter, as well as this entire treatise, an actual guru is not such a cheap thing. In actual fact, the typical monk, whether he be a member of a Theistic tradition such as Christianity, or residing in an Eastern monastery such as a Buddhist or Taoist temple, is best looked-upon as a spiritual seeker, or STUDENT of the religious life, who may one day become a spiritual master in his own right (though, again, this is hardly ever the case, since a genuine guru is rarer than hen’s teeth!). Furthermore, in my vast experience of residing in (and visiting) monasteries in a few countries, I can safely divulge that a certain percentage of monks (and especially, nuns) joined their monastic orders purely as an escape from the harsh realities of modern life, and in order to gain free food and board for life.
Cont...
A braahmana is not a priest
A person by virtue of his gunas if qualifies to be called a braahmana , then he is entitled to carry activities of a priest
To be a braahmana according to the scriptures he has to have those gunaas specifically mentioned
Vyaasa maharshi in the Bhagsvada purana had said that in the Kali yuga, the only quality of a Braahmana will be a sacred thread.
Meanng they r the people who will call themselves braahmanaas
Anyway , have not read ur long comment, because it is too long.
Moreover reading indian spiritual subjects in English is not to my liking, because translations r never right
But thank u for the kind reply. At least someone had read the comment

🤡
To put it simply, in recent decades, those persons who exhibit leftist traits such as egalitarianism, feminism, gynocentrism, socialism, multiculturalism, transvestism, homosexuality, perverse morality, and laziness, have been reproducing at rates far exceeding the previous norm, leading to an explosion of insane, narcissistic SOCIOPATHS in (mostly) Western societies.
We win if we stand together. Even a small attempt to make ones jati superior than others, in any dimension, will make damage to our civilization and that's exactly non patriotic, anti national adharmis are looking for.
Get over Jatia for true Dharma and Vasudev Kutumbakay.
There is NO SUCH WORD as "Brahmin".
Plz tell what is the base for brahmophobia
You lol Jack of all master of none .

Hating a special race or cast , Because it is appreciated by a community , religious hate। Thats it।
Constitution of India does not allows it , all are equal , you can't hate a race or cast . It can be your choice but not in public। Its a crime।
@@chandaan25 no its not a crime,,,court gives order on it,,,,bcs its talking about the mean of bad things on name of practice
Mahalingam ji, first Mr Nehru was not a brahmin. Second, when Nathuram Godse killed Gandhi, many brahmins in Maharashtra were killed, houses and schools burnt. So the announcement was for hood winking the public.
This guys are useless 💯 work and earn man don't waste your time with pujas and ceremonies too much 😂
Well i think our first prime minister belonged to/from brahmin caste.Why was hindi introduced as National Language when souths were or may have Agreed Sanskrit.My suggestion would be to promote sanskrit which will be able to impact all other castes towards bramha sama.Also where were you or your society from past 75-100 years,its too late now what todays bharat image is been all salute to our honourable pm modi who being from an OBC background and is thinking for wellbeing for all classes apart from selfishness,kindly excuse us
Hinduism is full of caste heirarchy
Greatest inventors award goes to you
That's a lie!
Caste hierarchy is acceptable if made according to Karma. Caste hierarchy according to Janma is nepotism and I don't support that.
Macaulay contribution
@@rajeshwarivasandani8305 Even after 75 years we blame Macaulay what we Hindus have done to promote unity is hardly 0.1% bur for division we all 99.9 % are responsible
Give up manuvad, give up arrogance, give up casteism and stop worshipping rivers, trees , cows, bulls and accept Jesus Christ as the divine SON of GOD Vishnu and Grandson of God Shiva who died for collective sin of humanity and rose on the 3rd day.. That is the only way to salvation for all Hindus and indeed entire humanity. Jesus Christ is the TRUTH, The WAY and the LIFE. He only is returning soon as the saviour Kalki after Chinese invasion of India.
😂 Also change your name first like Pamela undersun
Rice bag Rice bag Rice bag
Lol. Bible says earth is flat.
Keep believing in that 💩
Jesus is fictional.
Jesus Christ was required in the Western world to spread Dharma. We have our own Institution of Sanatan Dharma which has our own set of Devatas and Devis to worship. Why bother Jesus Christ without any reason? Let Western people do his Sadhana, Aradhana and Upasana.
