The Gothram name demonstrates the family's traditional style of knowledge acquisition and expertise in ancient theories. Based on the fact that cross-breeding of excellent but different species yields better quality, marriage from a family belonging to the same Gothram was and is still banned for Konkanis. Looking from another angle, marriage from the same Gothram has a better chance of generating mentally retarded or physically handicapped children or at least children of less intellectual capacity.
Common Gothrams
1. Bharadwaaja
2. Kousika
3. Vaatsam
4. Koundinya
5. Kaasyapa
6. Vaasishta
7. Jaamadagnya
8. Viswaamithra
9. Gouthama
10.Athri


Find out the Kuladevatha (if you know gothram) from this link Kuladevatha Mandir Site.


Gothra is not exactly a family-based lineage, but rather refers to many lineages emerging from the same village. In the olden days of the rishis or seers, people of many castes and communities would place themselves under the tutelage of a teacher or set of teachers, who would instruct each family on the portions of the Vedas that applied to their specific interests in terms of career, vocational skills, marriage, spirituality, and so on. The village would be named after the leading rishi, and the people belonging to that village would take upon that Rishi's name as a means of identifying themselves when they travelled. Many of the descendants of these original peoples have held onto this 'gothra' out of sentiment and tradition.

People not knowing their gothra, or those outside of this system such as Westerners, will generally refer to themselves as belonging to Vishnu gothra, since Vishnu, the All-pervading spirit of the Universe, rests in the heart of all beings, and as a result belongs to all Gothras.

After a woman marries, she automatically takes on the Gothra of the husband.

I hope this helps.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aOhSs

Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

GOTRA - is the Lineage or segment within an Indian caste, indicating common descent from a mythical ancestor. Marriage by members of the same gotra was traditionally prohibited. The custom was intended to prevent inbreeding as well as to broaden the influence of each gotra through marriage alliances. The term originally denoted segments of the Brahman caste descended from seven ancient seers. The number of Brahman gotras later increased, and some non-Brahman Hindu groups also established gotras.

Most of the Hindu comunities have different gotra and for ages it is followed by people generation after generation.

It is not possible to find your GOTRA as this practice is prevalant only to Hindus. If however you want or someone is not aware of his/her gotra, he/she can adopt to some gotra and it will be followed by their offspings.

NAKSHATRA and RAASI-

Hindu astrology has a unique system of prediction that is based on the position of the moon in a given Nakshatra (constellation). There are twenty-seven nakshtras in all. Each one of them covers thirteen degrees and twenty minutes of the zodiac. Each Nakshatra is the head of a particular group of stars.

The zodiac is divided into 27 Nakshatra zones. Therefore, while traversing the zodiac, the Moon has to pass through one of the Nakshatra. When you were born, the Nakshatra in which the Moon was situated at that time is called your Janma Nakshatra (birth nakshatra).

Your Janma Nakshatra can be found out easily by giving the exact time and date of your birth. There are many sites available for finding out this. The astologers on finding the Nakshatra prepare the Chart or Horosecope from which the future of the person can be predicted as per astrological laws. -
