Brahmin

Brahmin ( sanskritisht: ब्राह्मण ) është një varna si dhe një kastë brenda shoqërisë hindu . Në nënkontinentin Indian Vedik dhe pas-Vedik, Brahminët u caktuan si klasa priftërore, duke shërbyer si priftërinj ( purohit, pandit ose puxhari ) dhe mësues shpirtëror ( guru ose açarja ). Tre varnat e tjera janë Kshatrija, Vaishja dhe Shudra . ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5]

Puna tradicionale e brahminëve është ajo e priftit në tempujt hindu ose në ceremonitë socio-fetare, dhe kryerja e ritualeve të riteve të kalimit, si solemnizimi i një martese me himne dhe lutje. ^[6] Tradicionalisht, brahminëve u jepet statusi më i lartë ritual i katër klasave shoqërore. ^[7] Në praktikë, tekstet indiane sugjerojnë se disa brahminë historikisht u bënë edhe bujq, luftëtarë, tregtarë dhe kishin mbajtur gjithashtu profesione të tjera në nënkontinentin Indian. ^[7]
