I am a new member

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

 

I think I am the newest member of your group. I was

asked to introduce myself to everyone.

 

First let me tell you about how I came to know about

your group.

 

My name is "Bhargavi". Some one asked me what was the

meaning of my name. I remembered that my grand mother

use to say that goddess lakshmi was born to maharishi

Bhargava and therefore she was called as Bhargavi.

Thats how the name came. The person who asked me said

that there is no Maharishi called "bhargava". I was

surprised why my grand mother would say that. (I

haven't read many scriptures. My only knowledge is

what my grandmother and my parents use to tell me when

I am a child). I started searching the web for the

name Bhargava Maharishi.

 

Your group came up in the google search and I started

reading all the messages that were posted. I am

interested to get some knowledge and I thought it

would help me in getting some knowledge if keep

reading the messages that are posted.

 

As now you understood why I d and how I came

to know, I will tell you who I am and where I was

born.

 

My maiden name is "Bhagya Bhargavi Pulavarti". I am

from costal andhra and I am a brahmin. Vaideka

Velnadu. My forefathers came from a small village

called "Draksharamam". I did my Masters in Computer

Science. While doing my Masters I was married and My

inlaws family name is Jayanty. I am now in East

Lansing Michigan. I am a database administrator here.

I am interested to know in our tradition.

 

Now for some of the doubts I had when I was reading

some messages.

 

I was reading some messages about gotram and pravaram.

In one of the messages, the gotram Satamarshana was

described. I was naturally very enthusiastic to know

more about it and started reading. When I read I was

in dilemma. It is said that "Shatamarshana gothris

are called Sreshtars or Sottai Kulam people in

Tamil"(Those are the exact words in the email written

by Sadagopan Message No:360). I am a brahmin and still

my gotram is Satamarshana. How can you explain this?

 

Also, If the gotrams are derived from the same set of

rishi's Why did the caste system come in India?

 

I hope my questions make sense. I apologize if I have

written anything which doesn't make sense.

 

Thanks

Bhargavi
