 |
World Brahman Federation, abbreviated
as WBF, is an international organization of Brahmans. The organization is
based in North America and registered in the state of New York as a
not-for-profit- organization. |
|
The objective of the WBF is to promote
social, cultural, educational, and religious links between Brahmans of the
world, and to uplift the international Brahman community. The WBF will put a
special emphasis on educating the younger generation not only in Brahman
values but modern education and encourage them to become excellent citizens
of the country where they live. The WBF will collaborate with likeminded
Brahman organizations of the world and help them to achieve that objective. |
| WBF
identifies Brahman organizations all over the world, which promote Brahman
values and are operated in a democratic manner consistent with the ideology
of the WBF. These organizations are invited to affiliate with the WBF
and provide mutual strength to each other.
|
| Subject
to availability of funds, WBF will provide financial, educational, and any
other help needed to individual members or affiliated organizations to help
promote Brahman values and for welfare of the Brahman community.
|
| WBF
provides a platform for our youth to meet and develop contacts with other
members of the community all over the world. WBF organizes conventions in
the USA and other parts of the world to serve that purpose. Matrimony has been an
important consideration in every community. WBF provides potential contacts
for those who want to marry in their own Brahman community anywhere in the
world.
|
| WBF
realizes that the community of Brahmans must transcend geographical and
political boundaries. We must create an international community of Brahmans
by bringing them together and help them seek their own cultural and social
identity that has a tremendous psychological, social, economic, and
political value. For a group to become a socio-economic force, it must
evolve from a crowd to a community. The main task of the WBF is to create
such an international community of Brahmans and encourage them to work not
just for the welfare of their own community but for the whole society and
the country in which they live.
|
| Science
and Technology, and the consequent industrialization have brought about a
fragmentation of society. In the present age of fragmented society and
localized irrational forces, it is of paramount importance for individuals
to form regional as well as international links and communities. WBF, by
promoting Brahman values, provides that much-needed link.
|
| Religion,
traditions, and characteristic "Samskara" that impart the
Brahman values are needed for being a Brahman. It is obligatory for each
generation to pass on the torch of Brahman values to the next generation.
WBF acts as an enabler for passing that torch.
|
| WBF
promotes a healthy respect for
tradition along with a progressive outlook and scientific attitude. WBF
strongly encourages children to excel in modern education and their
professions. We derive strength from the past but move into the future.
|
| WBF
strongly disapproves the evils of Hindu
caste system. WBF promotes respect for all human beings and is
against all types of discrimination. WBF takes pride in its own identity and
believes that we can have respect for different cultures only if we have
respect for our own.
