Sherekar Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

They are the purest breed of Brahmins and their gotra was Bhardwaj, which means they are successors of Bhardwaj Rishi. Rishi Bhardwaj has 12 sons and two daughters. His sons were very well versed in creating Mantras and giving education. According to caste system in Vedas, Kshatriya will be kings and will save the kingdom, but if Kshatriya found in trouble, then only Brahmins will be able to save them, because of blessings given by Trinity to Brahmins, that they will be able to provide love like a mother but if they got furious no one in this world can handle their wrath.
