Abode of Gopinath Ji

This is our "Bhitey". Our connection to the Brahma Family Tree. This is where it all began and continues to be the link for all the family members. A "must visit" for us all!!

The ruling deity of this region of India, is a guest in Gopinath Ji’s temple. Handed to us for keeping by a branch of the extended family tree, who were unable to maintain him. Participation in all the celebrations is a must for Jagannath Ji.

The Seventh Brother

Baba and Ma and their lives. Baba settled in Patna post retirement and Ma transformed a flat into a home. They loved get together and enjoyed the company of the family. Rich lives fully lived.

Dol Jatra

The biggest annual celebration is the Dol Jatra when Gopinath Ji steps out in all his finery in the "Biman". An annual visit occasion by the elders and youngsters alike. Gives us a peek at the life on our "Bhitey"

Darjeeling

This is Baba and Ma is the St.Paul's School, Darjeeling, our last trip together. Ma’s long standing wish to visit Darjeeling came true and did we have a great time !!

The Fifth Brother

After spending a long time in Mumbai, Notun Jetu chose to settle down in Bangalore amidst his Army colleagues. Any time is party time here. Jetu resplendent in a blue shirt is an enthusiastic participant.

Kedar Nath visit

Two of the important pilgrimage sites nestle deep in the lap of the Himalayas - Kedarnath and Badrinath. Some of our family members made this trip and sent back lots of pictures for all those who haven’t. Tranquil surroundings with breath taking beauty.

The Third Brother

Shej Jetu also preferred to settle down in Patna post retirement surrounded by his friends and colleagues. A Doctor by profession, he spent his days treating patients & teaching his students. Photography and hunting were his other passions.

Chiang Mai

A visit to the ever popular Chiang Mai, Thailand. Full of exotic animals and breath-taking orchids. Where elephants paint pictures and snakes kiss fingers, Chiang Mai is full of attractions for the tourist.

Singapore

Yet another tourist destination, Singapore, brings out the child in us 8-). Catering to all tastes and desires, it stands out as a tourist's delight. Mouth watering food at home or outside adds to the charm of this place.

More Kedar

The pristine beauty of the heaven on earth can be enjoyed by trekking or riding a horse as one chooses to. Meandering "roads" and the sky looking the "bluest" of blue. God seems to have designed this place at his leisure.

One of the Brahma's of Kolkata

Rana shifted to Kolkata soon after he joined service and has been there ever since. As the family grew, they changed houses to the place where they currently stay. It looks like party time now!!

The youngest Brahma

Jaba and Rana were blessed with a second daughter, Diya, on the 24th of November'10. This makes her the youngest Brahma currently in the family. Expressive little Diya is a photographer’s delight.

Ananda Kutir

Our ancestral house in Cuttack. This was built by Sri Ananda Brahma and stands adjacent to the Jagannath Ballav temple in the Kazi Bazar area. A must visit for all of us to the root of the tree.

Welcome to the Brahma Family's very own website where we shall endeavour to continue our family's tradition of disseminating wisdom to the world at large without regard to caste, creed, race, colour, nationality or religion - we believe everyone shall be enlightened by us wherever and whoever they are.
This website is currently under construction, and will be so for the foreseeable future - this is already the second design iteration in the matter of two weeks. We shall be delighted to hear from you if you have any suggestions, criticism, raves, rants - whatever you want to say, please write in.

The blog still exists and is being updated regularly. You can use the menu items to get there or the column on the right has a list of the last 5 posts. You can get there directly at http://blog.brahmafamily.com which would bypass this page completely - though we wouldn't advise that as you would never know what you are missing here...

This site hosts the Brahma family gallery which is growing to be a rich repository of old Brahma family pictures as well as a chronicle of present day activites of various family members. We would like everybody to contribute to this gallery as this is one way of ensuring that pictures are preserved and don't get lost, as they usually do. If you would like to contribute or have your own Picasa gallery that you want included, please send an e-mail to ashish.brahma@gmail.com for help.
