YOUR PERSONAL PROFILE –

Some People born as a Hindu may not be familiar with His or Her Complete Personal Profile (Summary).

1) Your Complete Personal Profile does not stop with just Your Name.

2) It should also encompass Your Religion – Hindu.

3) Next information should be the Complete Name of your Parents.

4) You should try to make your best Efforts to obtain your Maternal and Paternal Grand-Parents’ Names (Grand Mother and Grand Father).

5) You should Attempt to obtain your Maternal and Paternal Great-Grand-Parents’ Names. All of the above Details are required when we perform Tarpana (periodically offering our respects by way of Religious Rites) for the dead Ancestors.

6) Then, you should try to be familiar with what Veda your Family belongs to – this refers to your Father’s side – that is the Practice adopted – Rig, Yajur, Sama or Atharvana Veda.

7) Next, you should try to be familiar with what Gotra you belong to – this information pertaining to your Father side is important and tells about the origin traceable to your Ancestral Rishi.

8) Then you attempt to know what is your Sutra (implied meaning is the Religious Rules that your Paternal Ancestors followed).

9) It is very important to find out Your Birth Star or Nakshatra.

10) The last one is, you become familiar with your Caste – Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaisya or Sudra.
