The Namas Myhtology

Namas was an ancient sage (rishi), who was a descendant of the Kashyapa lineage (Sanskrit कश्यप kaśyapa), one of the Saptarshis in the present Manvantara; with others being Atri, Vashishtha, Vishvamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni, Bharadwaja.

The founder clan of Bengali-speaking community Namasudra(Namassej) are originated from this mythological sage.Herbert Risley, writing in 1891, 'Namasa' Muni or Rishi 'whom the Namsudras regard as their mythical ancestor'.[1] Though later they were made out of castes, since their origin is Namas Rishi they were accepted as Namasudra meaning Namasya(ben=respectable) sudra or as they preached, Namas Sreej(> ssej) { ben= (from)Namas originated } > Namassej OR Namshya Sreejan >Namasya Sreej>Namassej.They believe in a clan relation like Marichi >Kashyap > Namas > Kirtiban& Uruban or Ariban.

The buddhist Sraman, Adwaybajra ,discovered the community living in Gangohridi or Bengal .He mentioned in a book of hymns that they practised the meditation and revelations of Brahman , the Creator God in Sanatan religion ,and were found to wear sacred thread along with the Priest class of Varna Samaj.He wrote it in Dohakoshpunjika .The hymns have been mentioned in the scholarly book named "The History Bengali Literature" by Dr. Sukumar Sen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.194.193.50 (talk) 18:16, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

MR SITUSH why you have changed I do not know. Mythology and hearsay of the Brahmins are the naming system in Indian Hindu Apartheid.And it was difficult for a community to write or documentation of their mythology who were the highest target of this APARTHEID in Bengal. And only Halton and Risely agreed to document these. The anthropological studies also initially done by these two Britihsers .The others did not agree . Now you are thinking the only gateway of the community to be non-reliable and siding with the Apartheid believers who want the community to be tagged as "SUDRA" Or "BORN-SLAVE". Unfortunately the WP: policy is not followed equally for every article. Priviledged and non-priviledged are clearly seen . Can not welcome this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.194.218.34 (talk) 16:33, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
