Tamil-English Web magazine for Brahmins relating philosophical, social, religious, puranic and vedic issues

Brahmin Today, the Tamil-English bilingual monthly magazine of Brahmins is named so, for specific reasons only. Unlike at any time of the long and cherished history of Brahmins, the need and compulsion to review the various aspects of Brahmanism is felt much today.

Getting glimpses of not only the past subjects like Vedas, Upanishads, Sasthras, Sampradhayas, Sanskrit, Carnatic Music and life sketches of Saints and Sadhus, but also of present day issues like Brahmins and Inter-caste marriages, women liberation, reservation, joint- family system, caste identification and Unity of Brahmins and sharing with others are the aims and goals of our magazine “Brahmintoday”.

Brahmintoday in the print form was started in March 2004 by its editor Shree S.S. Vasan with the Blessings of God, his late father Sankara Iyer and friends and relatives. With the firm support from Chuvadi, the publishing wing of Kalachuvadu {a Tamil literary magazine of repute} and donations from well- wishers, it is being published from Chennai for past 46 {till Dec 07} months without interruption.

To reach more Brahmins and make it available for reading on Web, this net edition is started. We sincerely thank Shree AKR of Mazhalaigal.com for hosting and maintaining the website free of cost for us and kilvelur B. Ramanathan of chuvadi for providing the contents in Unicode free of cost. We request the surfers to recommend more people to visit the site, donate liberally and send the feed back promptly.

Apart from the magazine we have plans to undertake projects to establish Brahmin women working Hostel and Brahmins Bojanalayas.
