Vedic Knowledge To Be Shared With Everyone AffirmVedas

And Brahmins created(?) the Vedas to control the social groups.

Even among Brahmins there are many who think that the Vedas are not to be shared with the other communities.

Wrong.

Veda comes from the word 'Vid' meaning to Know or Knowledge..

It is not the preserve of one community.

That the Vedas were made by Brahmins is equally wrong..

Many of the great Rishis and those who contributed Veda Sukthas were not Brahmins.

Some of them are.

Eka Rishi And Rare Gotras Pravara List

And over a period of years Brahmins have started using their professions as their surnames ,as against the Hindu practice of using Sharma as their surname and for indentification their Pravara/Abhivadan Mantra.

So when one has a surname like Upadhyaya it merely denotes the profession and not a caste.

To find it one has to check the Pravara.
