Iyers Ayyangars No Sanction Vedas Smriti

They can be used for Abhichaara Prayoga by vested interests.

Abhivadanama is for elders of the same community and Brahmins and only those who can Bless you with Veda Swasthi Mantra(Blessings from the Veda)

As far as I could check the terms Iyers, Ayyangars seem to have evolved during the middle ages, some say during Ramanuja's period, though there seems to be no solid evidence on this.

There terms were formulated to build an Endemic group by some.

Unfortunately this is being practiced to-day to divide Hindu Brahmins ans Iyers ans Ayyangars, North Indian Brahmin and a South Indian Brahmin.

These have no sanction of the Vedas nor the Smriti.

What Are Agamas Details

'Agnimele Purohitham'

For the Bramins Agni and worship of Agni is special.

The Aupasna Fire(Ritual Fire0 )hat is kept at Home is carried for generations, being transferred from Father to Son and the Agnis is not to be put off.

Though there are many Gods are praised in the Vedas, Agni has priority.

But worship of other Gods, though mentioned in the Vedas and Suktas are in the Vedas n praise of them they take a second place.

But the term Sanatana Dharma is not to be confused with Vaidika.

Vaidika refers to the worship of a particular entity(Agni), Sanatana Dharma refers to the whole systems of Indian Thoughts which includes Fire worship.

When one reads the Vedas , he will find that the Vedas have Samhitas, Hymns for worship for Gods.

But the procedures are found, as we find them today.

Where do these procedures come from?

And from whom?

It is believed that the practices are from Smrtis,(Recollections) for Individual Discipline and Agamas, for Collective worship.

Two points are worth the mention.
