Science behind Gothra (Genetics)

Science behind Gotra : (Genetics)…………………………………….

What is Gotra system ?

Why do we have this ? Why do we consider this to decide marriages ?

Why should sons carry the Gotra of father, why not daughter ?

How does Gotra of a daughter changes after she gets married ?

What is the logic ?

In fact this is an amazing genetic science we follow………………………………….And……………….

Let's see the science of genetics behind gotra systems.

The word GOTRA formed from two sanskrit words GAU (means cow) and Trahi (means shed).
Gotra means cowshed.

Gotra is like cowshed protecting a particular male lineage. We identify our male lineage / gotra by considering to be descendants of the 8 great rishi (sapta rishi + bharadwaj rishi). All the other gotra evolved from these only.

Let's see why human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes (one from father and one from mother) on thes 23 pairs, there is one pair called sex chromosomes which decides the gender of person.

During conception if the resultant cell is XX chromosomes then the child will be girl, if it is XY then it is boy.

In XY - X is from mother and Y is from father.
In this Y is unique and it dosn't mix. So in XY, Y will supress the X and son will get Y chromosomes. Y is the only chromosome which gets passed down only between male lineage. (Father to Son and to Grandson).

Women never gets Y. Hence Y plays a crucial role in genetics in identifying the genealogy. Since women never get Y the gotra of a women is said to be of her husband.

They are 8 diff Y chromosomes from 8 rishis. If we are from Same gotrathen it means we are from same root ancestor.

Marriages betwen same gotra will increase the risk of causing genetic disorders as same gotra Y chromosomes cannot have crossover and it will activate the defective cells.

If this continues, it will reduce the size and strength of Y chromosome which is crucial for the creation of male.
If no Y chromosome is present in this world, then it will cause males to become extinct.

So Gotra system is a method to avoid genetic disorders and attempt to protect Y chromosome

It's all about money.

"All Things Bright & Beautiful"

All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful:
the Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
each little bird that sings,
God made their glowing colors,
and made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountains,
the river running by,
the sunset and the morning
that brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden:
God made them every one.

God gave us eyes to see them,
and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well.
&
All things bringht and beautiful

it's It's Itall about money.it's all about money.

I met Money one day and said " You are just a piece of paper".
Money smiled and said,"of course 'am a piece of paper, but I haven't seen a dustbin yet, in my life."

"When you Believe in Yourself."

"Always be the reason of someone's happiness

Never be just a part of it. Always be a part of someone's sadness

But never be the reason for it."

“Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart and in esteem because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond, while you were busy collecting stones."

"We can't solve the problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

When you believe in Yourself:

Ever strive to excel.
Yearn to Learn.
And seek to have fire in the belly.
Bounce in the step.
Twinkle in the eyes.
Hope in the heart.
Steel in the nerves.
Spirit in the limbs.
Aim in the mind.
Tact in the tongue.
Smile in the lips.
Grace in the face.
Humour in the speech.
Logic in the thought.
Passion in a mission.\
And a purpose in life.

Just think of yourb brain for a moment-If you don't use it properly to it's optimum level for its functions of learning,knowing,analyzing and discovering, it will loose its value,importanc and purpose.

He who is the cause of all and who enables all things to function according to their nature,who brings to maturity all that can be ripened,who, being, non-dual, rules over the whole universe and engages the gunas in their respective functions-He is concealed in the upanishads,the secret part of the vedas.Brahma knew him who can be known only from the evidence of the vedas. The Gods and seers of olden times who knew him became brahman and attained immortality.

Yajur veda, Svetasvatara Upanishad Pt I,Ch.V 5-6

As the sun shines,illumining all the quarters-above-below and across, so also God,self resplendent,adorable and non-dual,controls all objects,which themselves possess the nature of a cause.

Yajurveda,Svetasvatara Upanishad Pt I, Ch V-4
