Garga Muni and Pravaras of Garga Gotra
Garga or Garga Muni was the author of Garga Samhita. Just as Parashara’s Vishnu Purana and Krishna Dvaipayana Veda Vyasa’s the Mahabharata, the Harivamsha Purana and the Bhagavata Purana deal with the life of Krishna or Vishnu, Garga Samhita also deals with the life of Krishna. The eleven Khandas, Adhyas or Chapters of Garga Samhita are Asvamedha Khanda, Balabhadra Khanda, Dvaraka Khanda, Giriraja Khanda, Goloka Khanda, Madhurya Khanda, Mathura Khanda, Vijnana-khanda, Vishwajit Khanda and Vrindavana Khanda. Garga was the chief priest and the Raja Guru of the family of Nanda. He named the son of Devaki and Vasudeva as Krishna, the beautiful black boy. Garga was the son of Bharadwaja, a Brahmin and Susheela, a Kshatriya. Garga and his descendants are Brahma Kshatriyas; they combine the qualities, interests and abilities of both the Brahmins and the Kshatriyas. Garga was the grand-son of Angirasa and his five wives Sati, Surupa, Smriti, Svadha and Shraddha and was the nephew of Angirasa’s Brihat Bhanu, Brihat Brahma, Brihat Jyothi Samvarta (Samvarta or Shatamarshana or Satamarshana or Sadamarshina), Brihat Keerti Utathya, Brihat Manas, Brihat Mantra and Brihaspati and Angirasa’s seven daughters were Archishamati, Bhanumati, Cinee Vali, Ekaneka, Mahishmati, Mahamati and Raka. The celebrated female sage Vachaknavi Gargi was born in the family of Garga. The pravara of Garga gotra or Gargya Gotra has two variations. They are (1) Angirasa, Brihaspati, Bharadwaja, Sainya and Gargya and (2) Angirasa, Sainya and Gargya.
Bharadwaja Muni and Pravaras of Bharadwaja Gotra
Bharadwaja was a son of Brihaspati (the Devaguru or the Guru of the Gods), a grand-son of Angirasa (one of the seven Saptharishis of the first Manvantara, the others being Vashista, Kratu, Atri, Marichi, Pulaha and Pulastya) and a nephew of Brihat Bhanu, Brihat Brahma, Brihat Keerti Utathya, Brihat Manas, Brihat Mantra, Brihat Jyothi Samvarta (Samvarta or Shatamarshana or Satamarshana or Sadamarshina), Archishamati, Bhanumati, Cinee Vali, Ekaneka, Mahishmati, Mahamati and Raka. Bharadwaja and Kacha were the sons of Brihaspati and Mamata Brihaspati. Bharadwaja had four teachers: Angirasa, Brihaspati, Valmiki and Marudwaja Devatas. He learnt from the Marudwaja Devatas everything they knew about the Vedas. Bharadwaja was told by Indra that Bharadwaja knew more about the Vedas than what the Devas knew about the Vedas. Angirasa, Brihaspati, other sons of Angirasa and Bharadwaja and their families were the composers of all the 75 hymns of the Sixth Mandala of the Rigveda. Bharadwaja was the author of Ayurveda. He was a contemporary of King Bharata. Angirasa, Brihaspati, other sons of Angirasa and Bharadwaja and their descendants were Raja Rishis and Raja Purohits of several Puru dynasties including the Bharatas and the Panchalas. Among the seven Gotra chains, the Bharadwaja Gotra chain is the largest with over 1400 branches in Sanatana Bharat. Bharadwaja had two sons Garga and Dhrona and two daughters Devavarnini and Katyayani. The latter, Katyayani, was the second wife of Yagnavalkya, the author of the Satapatha Brahmana. Bharadwaja had his first son Garga from his wife Susheela. Garga was the author of Garga Samhita, the Raja Guru of the family of Nandas and was the one who gave the name of Krishna, the black man, to the son of Devaki and Vasudeva. After the death of his wife Susheela, Bharadwaja came in contact with an Apsara by name Gritachi and developed a physical relationship with her. Bharadwaja had his second son Drona from Gritachi from this physical relationship with the Apsara. Like his grandfather Angirasa, his father Brihaspati and his paternal uncle Shatamarshana. Bharadwaja was a Kshatra Brahmin, a military wizard and a great warrior. When Varshikas invaded the Kingdom of Abhyavarti, Divodasha arrived to help his friend Abhyavarti in his war against the Varshikas. But, Varshikas endowed with great courage and superior military skills easily defeated the combined armies of Abhyavarti and Divodasha and ransacked their dwellings. Following their ignominious defeat, Abhyavarti and Divodasha approached Bharadwaja, the great military wizard and a warrior par excellence to help them retake their kingdom from the Varshikas. Knowing what happened at the battlefield, Bharadwaja chided them for their cowardice, upheld the need for constant military training, underscored the need for boundless courage, emphasized the need for proper military strategy and himself led the combined armies of Abhyavarti, Divodasha and his clan against the Varshikas, easily defeated the latter, restored the Kingdom of Abhyavarti back to Abhyavarti and helped in the rebuilding of the dwellings, in the refortification of the kingdom and in the restructuring of the administration to make it people-friendly and more efficient, effective and productive for the sustainable development of the economy of the Kingdom of Abhyavarti. Brihad Arayanaka Upanishad (Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.2.5) includes Bharadwaja, along with Atri, Gautama, Jamadagni, Kashyapa and Vishwamitra among the Seven Rishis (Saptarshis). In Sanatana Hindu Bharata, the term Gotra means cow shelter, clan, family, kin or family lineage. The term Gotra refers to the founding father of a clan and all the descendants of the founding father of the clan in an unbroken line from a common male ancestor and the term Pravara means the most revered or the most respected or the most renowned or the most exalted and it refers to the names of the most exalted Rishis that belonged to a particular Gotra. The Pravara of Bharadwaja Gotrajas consists of the three Rishis Angirasa, Brihaspati and Bharadwaja and the Pravara of Garga or Gargya or Gargyasa Gotra consists of the five Rishis Angirasa, Bharhaspati, Bharadwaja, Sainya and Gargya.
Angirasa Maharshi and Angirasa Group of Gotras and Pravaras
Angirasa Maharishi was the most renowned and highest ranked Rishi who lived during the Vedic period in Sanatana Hindu Bharata. He was one of the seven Saptharishis of the first Manvantara. And the seven Rishis of the 1st Manvantara were Angirasa, Atri, Kratu, Marichi, Pulaha, Pulasthya and Vashista.
Many verses in the Vedas are attributed to Angirasa Rishi. The Sixth Mandala of the Rigveda was formulated by Angirasa Rishi and his descendants. Rigveda, Yajurveda and Samaveda were in use during his time. Vedic gods were appeased and various animals were sacrificed in the Yagnas. Everybody during the Vedic period ate both plant and animal food. In that environment, Angirasa Rishi teamed up with his fellow Vedic Rishi Atharvana Rishi to formulate Atharvana Veda, the fourth Veda among the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Athravana Vedas.
One of Angirasa’s sons Brihaspati was the Guru of the Gods (Devaguru). His grandson Bharadwaja, who was the son of Brihaspati and Mamata, was the author of Ayurveda. His great grand-son Garga, the son of Bharadwaja and a Kshatriya woman Susheela, was the author of Garga Samhita, the Raja Guru of the family of Nandas and was the one who gave the name of Krishna, the black man, to the son of Devaki and Vasudeva. Dronacharya, the teacher of both Pandavas and Kauravas, was a descendant of Angirasa. Gautama Rishi, another famous descendant of Angirasa Maharshi and the son of Rahugana, is associated with several suktas of Rigveda and the Bhadra sukta of Samaveda.
Another notable descendant of Angirasa was Shatananda, the son of Gautama and Ahalya, was the chief priest or purohit of King Janaka of Mithila Kingdom. Another famous descendant of Angirasa was Yagnavalkya, the son of Devarata and a student of Vaishampayana, who was the full author or part author of Shatapata Brahmana, Brihad Aranyaka Upanishad, Yoga Yagnavalkya and Yagnavalkya Smriti. A warrior descendant of Angirasa was Ashwathama, the son of Dronacharya and Kripi, whose name was uttered by Dharmaraya to enable his brother Arjuna to defeat or kill Dronacharya in the Mahabharat war.
Angirasa was the son of Agnayi. He had five wives, seventeen sons and seven daughters. His five wives were Sati, Surupa, Smriti, Svadha and Shraddha. Surupa was the daughter of Marichi Maharshi. Angirasa had thirteen sons from his wife Surupa, the daughter of Marichi Maharshi. These thirteen sons were Brihat Keerti Utathya, Brihat Jyothi Samvarta (Shathamarshana or Satamarshana), Brihaspati, Atma, Ayu, Daksha, Damana, Havishman, Gavishtha, Prana, Ritu, Sada (Sadamarshina) and Satya. His four other sons were His seven sons were Brihat Bhanu, Brihat Brahma, Brihat Manas and Brihat Mantra. Angirasa’s seven daughters were Archishamati, Bhanumati, Cinee Vali, Ekaneka, Mahishmati, Mahamati and Raka.
Angirasa was one of the originators of the human kind. Some of his descendants are Sattriya Brahmins or Kshatra Brahmins or Warrior Brahmins as they were Kshatriyas by birth and Brahmins by choice. This was because he acceded to the request of a childless king to help his childless queen to beget children. Further, his grandson Bharadwaja had married a kshatriya woman Susheela and had a Brahma Kshatriya son or Warrior Brahmin son Garga from her.
Angirasa Rishi was a great thinker. According to Mundaka Upanishad, Angirasa elaborated at length about knowledge and referred to two kinds of knowledge. They were (1) Prapancha Jnana (the secular knowledge) and (2) Paravastu Jnana (the spiritual knowledge). The secular knowledge helps the human beings to learn the sciences, mantras, shlokas, hymns, rituals, astrology, sahitya, natya, poetry, language and grammar and benefit from them. The spiritual knowledge helps the human beings to learn things that lead them to that which is eternal, permanent and everlasting.
According to Angirasa Rishi, the human body is like a tree on the branches of which two birds live. One bird resides on the higher branches of the tree and another bird resides on the lower branches of the tree. The bird on the higher branches of the tree keeps watching the bird on the lower branches of the tree always eating something or the other; some of the fruits seem sweet and the bird relishes eating them and some of the fruits seem bitter and the bird relinquishes them.
One day, all the fruits seem bitter and the bird on the lower branches of the tree becomes dejected and starts weeping. Then, for the first time, it looks up and notices the bird over its head. The bird on the higher branches of the tree looks serene, tranquil and peaceful. The bird on the lower branches of the tree suddenly realizes that the bird over its head is nothing but itself, its true self and its eternal self.
As Angirasa pointed out, the living being seeks pleasure and avoids pain but gets both of them. But, the ego (Jeevatma) is constantly moving between pleasure and pain and is ephemeral but the self (Paramatma) is serene, tranquil, analytical, at peace and eternal.
Angirasa used to address Brahma as Pita (father). Hence, he is considered as the Brahma Suta. Since all the human beings are the sons and daughters of Brahma, all human beings are equal to each other. All human beings are Brahma Sutas, Brahma Putras, Brahma Putris, Brahma Kumaras and Brahma Kumaris. As such, absolute equality of all human beings is the fundamental tenet of Sanatana Hindu Bharata. No human being is superior to any other human being and no human being is inferior to any other human being. All human beings are equal members of the Vasudeva Kutumbakam!
Gowthama Rishi, the son of Rahugana, is a descendant of Angiras. Gowthama described Angirasa as a son of strength and as a giver of abundant food. He described Angirasa as a son of strength in the Sukta One, the fifth Ashtaka, the fifth Adyaya of the Rigveda Samhita; he described Angirasa as a giver of abundant food in the fifth Sukta, the fifth Ashtaka, the fifth Adhyaya of the Rigveda Samhita.
In the Vana Parva of Mahabharata, Markandeya tells Yudhistira that Agni used to perform the role of a middle man between the bhaktas and the gods to whom the bhaktas used to make offerings in the fire. Agni used to collect the offerings made by the bhaktas to the gods and hand them over to the concerned gods. Later, Angirasa replaced Agni and took the role of collecting the offerings made by the bhaktas to the gods and handing them over to the gods. This indicates that there used to be forest fires that used to destroy the dwellings and properties of people. People used to comfort themselves by thinking that the God Agni was collecting their belongings this way and handing them over to the gods. So, their loss was the gain for the gods and it was a comforting thought for the human beings.
Angirasa took steps to prevent forest fires, established a sort of government, collected taxes from the people and used them for offering services to people. And since people were aware of the destructive side and the protective side of Agni, Angirasa used to perform Yagnas to worship and appease Agni and allow people to make their offerings, in nominal way, to Agni and other gods in the Yagna. Animals were offered in the Yagna to the Gods and the prepared animal food was distributed as prasada or food to the assembled gathering of people.
The prominent descendants of Angirasa are Brihat Bhanu, Brihat Brahma, Brihat Keerti Utathya, Brihat Manas, Brihat Mantra, Brihat Jyothi Samvarta (Samvarta or Shatamarshana or Satamarshana or Sadamarshina), Brihaspati, Bharadwaja (Brihaspati’s son), Garga (Bharadwaja’s son), Rahugana, Gautama (Rahugana’s son), Shatananda (Gautama’s son), Ambarisha, Badarayana, Dhanvantari, Dronacharya, Ashwathama (Dronacharya’s son), Devarata, Yagnavalkya (Devarata’s son), Harita (Haritasa), Jamadagni, Kanva, Kapila, Maudgalya, Shatamarshana and Vishnuvardhana.
