Deshastha History

Image of Deshastha Saint Samartha Ramdas

Deshastha may be the Maharashtrian brahmin community with longest known history. Sant Dnyaneshwar from 12 th century was deshastha. As were the saints, Eknath and Ramdas from relatively recent times (16th & 17th century respectively) . The close advisors and ministers of Shivaji Maharaj, the 17th century founder of Maratha empire were Deshastha. Unfortunately, history of Maharashtra and therefore of deshastha before 12th century is quite sparse. The cave paintings of Ajanta and sculptures from other places show Buddhism to be the dominant religion in Maharashtra during the first millennium of the present era. One can only speculate whether, Deshastha had kept Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma) going during the Buddhist period or converted from Buddhism after the decline of that religion in India. Appearance wise, H.H. Risley's work durinng the 1901 census [1] found Deshastha to be indistinguishable from most other castes in Maharashtra.^[2] Image of Hindu saint Samarth Ramdas for article; appears to be public domain File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...

Deshasthas are initiated into rituals at the time of Birth itself. At the time of birth, a horoscope is made for the child based on the position of the stars. Then Deshasthas undergo the naming ceremony (barse). During the ceremony the child's paternal aunt (father's sister) has the honour of naming the infant. In Gujarat, children are named according to the letter associated with a particular birth-sign (Ras in Marathi).However, this tradition is either not followed in Maharahtra or the name according to the ras is kept hidden in order to ward off possible black magic.

When a male child reaches his seventh birthday he is eligible for thread ceremony also known as munja or Upanayanam. From that day on, he becomes an official member of his caste, and is called a dwija (translated in English as"twice-born"). In ancient times, the boy was sent to gurukula to learn Vedas and scriptures. He then practices extreme discipline during the period known as brahmacharya. He lives a celibate life, living on alms, and surviving on selected vegetarian saatvic food and observing considerable austerity in behaviour and deeds. The individual had to perform daily fire worship, and perform prayers without fail.

Social and political issues

During ancient and mediaeval periods, Deshasthas (and Brahmins in general) rose to prominence in Indian society, primarily due to their emphasis on spiritual life and scholarship, particularly in terms of their expertise in the Vedas and the attendant religious rituals. Most of Shivaji Maharaj's administrative officers were Deshastha Brahmin. Later, during the British raj they also acquired English education and served as clerks during the British rule in India. Such a relatively privileged life during the colonial period led to resentment from other castes. In Maharashtra, deshasthas and other brahmin groups have been politically marginalized. In addition, quotas & reservation for disadvantaged groups in government jobs and in colleges have led to further squeezing of opportunities for brahmins everywhere in India. In recent decades, with the rise of BJP & Shiv Sena in Maharashtra, a number of Deshastha politicians rose to prominence. Notable among them include the late Pramod Mahajan and Manohar Joshi.

Deshastha Women

Deshastha teenage girls from 1950s

The deshastha woman from the past is portrayed as woman draped in a nine yard saree. Such dress is becoming rare among deshastha women now. Traditional deshastha women, both married and unmarried wear a "kunku" (red dot, also known as kumkum/sindoor/bindi) on their forehead and married women always wear the mangalsutra. This is a sacred gold neckless tied by the bridegroom around the bride's neck and along with kunku serves the same purpose as the wedding ring to signify the married status of a woman. Being a patrilineal society, a deshastha woman becomes part of her husband's family after marriage and adopts the gotra/lineage as well as the traditions of her husband's family. Decades ago, deshastha girls used to get married to the groom of their parents' choice by t early teens or before. Even now girls are married off relatively early (between 18-20 years old) by rural less educated Deshastha families, Also in the past, a Deshastha widow was never allowed to re-marry, while it was acceptable for deshastha widowers to re-marry. Divorces were considered a "great evil". Decades ago, Deshastha widows used to shave their heads and wear simple red sari. She had to stop wearing the kunku /bindi on her forehead.
