We are Sompura Tirth Purohit
The Sompura Brahmins, also known as Somvanshi, trace their lineage back to the Vedic era. The Vedic mantra “इमन्देवा असपत्न्या” states “सोमोस्माकं ब्राह्मणानां राजा” which means that the moon god is the king of our Brahmin lineage. Although we may not have physically come from the moon, our ancestors hailed from the land where the moon held its influence. In Vedic culture, the moon is associated with the origin of herbs, which have a purifying effect on the internal organs and mechanisms of the body. It is believed that the people from the land influenced by the moon’s energy possessed the purest blood, which we identify as “Aryan blood.
