Gothram and the aacharyals ?

[Guest guest]

Dear Bakthas,

 

Please forgive any mistakes in terminology in

my questions below.

 

I was wondering if there is information on the

different gothrams and the about the Aacharyals like

Bharadwaja, Aathreya etc.

 

How some people are classified as Swayamaacharyas

and what significance that has in present days ?

 

Also information on our origins and how we

ended up where we are, like India, Tamizhnadu etc. I have

heard conflicting notes on this and thought I should post

this question here.

 

Again please accept my apologies if I did not

frame the questions in the correct manner.

 

pranamum,

 

ramesh
