| | information regarding Gotras |
 | | The gotras of Brahmins and Marathas are many times similar, the reason being in ancient times Brahmins were as a result of knowledge and achievement of a person and not by birth. | | | The members of a gotra however need not necessarily be blood relations, but could be spiritual inheritors or descendants of a guru's pupils. | | | Gotra also comes of use during the performance of the rites of passage or sanskaras. |

| | Yagna, Dana and Gotra - Ancient Indian Customs |
| | Gotra is one of the many considerations that exist during match making in the traditional manner. | | | Today most of us may not be aware as to what Gotra is. Its meaning is lost and it is doubtful whether even the astrologers who compare horoscopes can satisfy an inquisitive student as to the origin and meaning of Gotra and the reason why identical Gotras preclude a match in a traditional Hindu marriage. | | | Today it is difficult to imagine that marriage within one Gotra between members who were the progeny of one mother or were immediate maternal cousins by virtue of having the same grandmother could have once been a solemn custom. |

| | Both caste and dharma emphasised heredity because ancestry (gotra) was imperative as the spirits of the ancestors had to be invoked in all social sacraments (samskara) to establish the individual’s worthiness to receive the sacrament. | | | We need to examine the merits of this quest in terms of the genesis of caste and its applicability to those who have seceded from the Hindu fold. | | | Christianity and Islam systematically wiped out the traditional religion and culture in the lands where they spread. |
