Dear all,

Just a question..there are also many who dont have a Gotra...what about these group..life still goes on isnt it? Genes are still passed on from generations to generations...

Is Gotra really all that important?

After all Gotra...is from the word Go(cow) Trayate(Protect)...Protecter of the cow..
before cows and oxen were domesticated was there Gotra ?
as far as I know goats were domesticated first before our bovine friends..
So goat is (ajah)..why not Ajatra?

renu

renu,

my elders told me,gothram is an idnetity marker,so that community,offsprings flourish.saha-gothra marriage was prohibhited,in ancient times.of course there are exceptions to the rule,depending upon circumstances.

by analysing the samskritham word gothra,associating with cow is incorrect.i am tring to find the link,in context with manushya or humanity.plz give some time.

sanathana dharma practices,which is continued even today,is to give vahanas to the lords.some lords have multiple vahanas,just like we chant,garuda vahana narayana.....

nachi naga.
