So
if we take approx 6o clock as surayodhayam, Brahmamurtham starts
from 4oclock. The period
between 4AM to evening 8PM is divided into 8 parts. In the first part of time
we do Devayagnam.
The Brahmin is not the title, getting only by
birth to a Brahmin Couple. One has to
follow the rituals too and adhere to the
6 duties required of a Brahmin. We all know that the varnas are based on the
Job done by the respective persons. The Brahmin is primarily entitled to learn
the vedas & to teach the vedas. By
doing this he acts as a sole savior of all the varnas as he should do Vedic
chanting, perform yagnas etc for the welfare of the all the communities and
jevvasarasis including animal, plant etc.
In
the 2nd Part (i.e., from 6AM) the following are to be done. sishyas
are be taught Vedas (veda adhyapanam), flowers are to be plucked by the person
doing the pooja, procure other materials
such as money, materials etc for pooja and daily yagna expenses(only limited to
pooja/yagna) from good persons. Brahmins
have got a right to get Dhanam and he has to give considerable part of what he received as Dhanam
for Ritviks for performing yagnam etc. Getting dhanam and giving dhanam is the
karma of a Brahmin and it is called ‘Prathikraham’. For the above duties one would have taken the entire 2nd
part and some time of the third part.
