(Redirected from Saryupareen Brahmin)
Saryupareen Brahmins, also known as Sarvarya
Brahmins or Saryupariya Brahmins, are North Indian
Brahmins residing on the eastern plain of the Sarayu near
Ayodhya. Saryupareen families such as the Tiwari,
Tripathi, Pandey, Mishra, Shukla, Dwivedi and Dikshit
were involved solely in the research and analysis of Vedas
and other religious texts, performing yajnas and other
religious practices. These families did not perform 'pujas
for benefactors and did not take dakshinas or donations
against such prayers. Hence they were considered to be
solely devoted to the quest of learning about the Vedas
and spreading knowledge rather than benefiting in any
way through benefactors. Along with the other
Pancha-Gauda Brahmin communities, the Saryupareen
traditionally preserve the customs and traditions as
prescribed by ancient Hindu canons. In the 19th (held at
Prayag) and 20th (held at Lucknow) national convention
of Kanyakubja Brahmins by Kanyakubja Mahati Sabha,
in 1926 and 1927 respectively, it appealed for unity
among Kanyakubja Brahmins whose different branches
included Sanadhya, Bhumihar Brahmin, Pahadi, Jujhoutia,
Saryupareen, Chattisgarhi, and different Bengali Brahmins.
[1]
The Saryupareen generally dwell in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh with a significant
amount of them concentrated in the eastern region of Uttar Pradesh known as Purvanchal. There are also
minority Saryupareen communities in Mauritius, where Bhojpuri is a commonly spoken language and the
Caribbean.
