Upanayana ceremony at Guru Baba Ashram Guruvayyur

Elevating anybody as Brahmins-According to the true spirit of AdvaitaAdisankara is connted as the greatest philosopher and 'advaita' is deemed as the last word in philosoply. But what we see today around us is total negation of the spirit of advaita preached by Adisankara.

Though the human race can be divided into four categories according to their 'Gunas` as Brahmins, Kshathriyas Vaisyas and Sudras, no Varna is permanent. but can be changed in accordance with the observance of 'Dharma' or righteousness.

'Upanayana' Ceremony is conducted at Gurubaba Asharam oon all New Moon days for all who are ready to lie a righteous life according to the true sprit of vedas and Sankara Philosophy.
The present day Brahmins could not lead the world to the path of Dharma as envisaged by Adisankara; They have come down to the level of 'chandalas' by their greed and pride. By thinking themselves as supreme and observing untouchability amont the creations of one and only one God, they have deteriorated to the lowest level. For long time they have deviated from the path of scriptures and has forgotten sankara philosophy i.e Advaita. The Upanayana ceremony in Gurubaba Ashram is the first and sure step towards elevating all to the level of Brahmins and upkeep of Dharma.

Being born as the son or daughter of a Brahmin does not entitle anybody to become a brahmin. It is earned by virtue of their Karmas and not by birth.

Upanayana opens the inner eye of the Sadhaka. Those who accepts Brahminhood is taking a second birth. This is why Brahmins are called 'Dwijas' to live a righeous life by foregoing the pleasures and luxuries of world for the sake of downtordden. It is the declaration to devote their life to eradicate untouchability by guiding them to the truth of vedas and by removing their ignorance.

Anyone who does Upanayana should observe household celebacy i.e restraint in cortal relation on unauspicious days, Observance of fasting i.e Upavasa on New Moon and Full Moon without fail and donating the saving to poor throughout their life, chanting of the holy "Gayathri Manthra" daily are also a must. Being pure vegetarian is surely good but not a must. Ladies also can accept Upanayana.

Anybody who are ready to abide the above vedic stipulations are welcome to Gurubaba Ashramam for Upanayana ceremony. Become a Brahminby your karma and gunas and not by birth. Lead the world to the light of true Hunduism; the eternal civilization of penance, embracing all religions and cultures.
