Introduction

Brahmins are the highest of the four varna (caste groups), and they speak many different languages wherever they live in South Asia. There has never been a comprehensive analysis of all the different types and subgroups of Brahmins. Traditionally in the varna system Brahmins are considered as priests, but a temple priest is a lowly position that no Pushkarna Brahmin family wants their sons to aspire towards. Rather, there is strong pressure for higher education, particularly in computer science and engineering. Pushkarna Brahmins have a strong work ethic and are often leaders, whether politically, intellectually, spiritually or socially. It is vital for those who go to Brahmins to build genuine relationships; they must pray for Brahmin friends, and eventually pray with Brahmin friends. We must focus on Christ himself as a living person, and on the almighty God who was revealed by Christ as a loving father.

Ministry Obstacles

There is a deep aversion to religious propaganda among Pushkarna Brahmins, and Christians are perceived as propagandists. Christian forms and traditions are problematic for Brahmins. Christ's ambassadors need to approach Brahmins in a loving, respectful manner.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Pray that the few Brahmin-background believers would exhibit the fruit of the Holy Spirit with those they meet so Christ will be honored and held in high esteem by these influential Hindus. Pray for the eyes of Pushkarna Brahmin hearts to be open to Jesus Christ. Pray for Christ to reveal himself to Brahmin leaders through dreams, visions and the Bible. Pray for Holy Spirit-directed Christ followers to go to Pushkarna Brahmin communities. Pray for a Disciple Making Movement to emerge among every Brahmin community in India.
