History

|
Saryupareen Brahmans (Hindi: सरयू पारीण ब्राह्मण), also known as Sarvarya Brahmans
or Saryupareenya Brahmans, are North Indian Brahmans residing on the eastern plain
of the Sarayu near Ayodhya. Saryupareen families such as the Chaturvedi, Tripathi,
Tiwari, Trivedi, Dwivedi, Pandey, Mishra, Shukla, 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
Brahman 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 Brahmans by Kanyakubja Mahati Sabha,
in 1926 and 1927 respectively, it appealed for unity among Kanyakubja Brahmans whose
different branches included Sanadhya, Pahadi, Jujhoutia, Saryupareen, Chattisgarhi,
Bhumihar Brahmans and different Bengali Brahmans. 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
