Sudarsh doing a vedic fireritual
In 2017 I travelled in Kerala and Tamil Nadu to visit some important Temples of Southindia. Fortunately I met Sudarsh, who became a good friend and partner. We did several tours together with groups and had a lot of fun. I am happy to have a few friends in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka, wich I fully trust and love working with them. When he came to teach in Germany in 2019, we enjoyed meeting each other in Speyer. I am happy that we have made this Interview, but it went lost under many files in my computer. Now I have found it back. 🙂

Die Nambodiri Brahmanen sind eine hinduistische Kaste in Kerala, einem Bundesstaat im Süden Indiens. Sie sind bekannt für ihre herausragenden Kenntnisse in Sanskrit, vedischen Schriften und Ritualen und haben einen bedeutenden Einfluss auf die religiöse und kulturelle Praxis in Kerala ausgeübt. Die Nambodiri Brahmanen folgen einer strengen Hierarchie und haben ihre eigenen Rituale und Bräuche, die sie seit Jahrhunderten praktizieren. Traditionell durften sie nur innerhalb ihrer eigenen Kaste heiraten und waren für die Durchführung von religiösen Zeremonien und Ritualen zuständig. In der modernen Zeit haben sich jedoch viele Nambodiri Brahmanen von diesen alten Traditionen entfernt und sind in verschiedenen Berufen tätig. Einige haben auch den Hinduismus verlassen und sich anderen Religionen zugewandt. Es gibt auch Kritik an der Nambodiri Brahmanen-Kaste, da sie wie viele andere Kasten in Indien eine Quelle sozialer Ungleichheit und Diskriminierung darstellt. Es gibt daher Bestrebungen, die Kastensysteme in Indien in der Praxis abzuschaffen und die soziale Gleichheit zu fördern. Seit der gründung der Republik Indien sind Kasten offiziell abgeschafft, aber das interessiert kaum jemanden.
