Are lingayats brahmins?
well it is both yes and no!!! If you consider "Braahman" as the person who is interested in the "Brahma Jnaa" ... then Lingayats are Brahmans... .. They have their own rituals, phylosophy , spiritual path for solvation etc etc. The Shakthi-VishistaAdvaitha phylisophy of Lingayats is in parallel with Advaitha of Smaartha Brahmins, Dvaitha Phylosophy of Maadva Brahmins, and VishistaAdvaitha phylosophy of ShriVaishnavas. Spiritually speaking they are brahmins. How ever these lingayats/virashaivas want to maintain their own identity. They don't believe in classifying a person in the name of Varnas. They believe that the same person can be a brahman, a kshatriya, a vaishya and a shoodra...All one person!!!! In that way they don't want to identify them selves with the any of the names of 4 Varnas. They love to call them selves with the name "ShivaSharaNa". Also they are not Brahmin since they differ a lot interms of rituals... >> They don't wear Yajnopavitha (Janivaara) instead they wear "IstaLinga" tied with the sacred thread, ShivaDaara. >>The SandhyaVandanam of Brahmins is replaced by "IshtaLinga Pooje", spritually called by the name, "ShatSthala Saadane". >>The Gayathri manthra which is the part of SandhyaVandanam for Brahmins is replaced by ShivaPanchakshari/Shadakshari manthra in the ShatSthala Saadhana of Lingayats. >>Also the concept of Moksha and life after death is entirely different in lingayats than other brahmnical paths. luv n light SavithRu
