I stumbled on this website as I was searching for my family's geneology and history of the Gaud Saraswat Brahmins. I belong to a family of Datta Anant Shenvi Agni (my late grandfather) who informed me of our being Bharadwaaj gotra GSBs with out Kul Devta at Shri Damodar Temple. I did not find a mention of the our surname in your list of Bharadwaaj names from the GSBs in the Konkan belt. I am very proud of my heritage therefore would like to have our family name included in the list. I was generally impressed by the effort put into compiling the site for our information. Warm regards from my family for all my GSB brothers, Guirish

I have been informed that the attack falls directly under Section 66 of the draconian IT Act 2000 of India. First offence leads to 3 years in prison or Rs 2,00,000 fine or both. Ignorance is no defence in law. Dated: 3rd Feb 2010

There appears to have been a recent amateurish unsuccessful attempt (on 2nd Feb 2010) to deface/hack our volunteer driven site. The issue has been fixed with immediate effect. The ISP is now investigating the issue in detail. Update from ISP: The attack originated from Pune via a BSNL connection Windows machine. Our UK based ISP now has the IP (and loads of other details) of the culprit and will track it down soon. Strongest action will be taken. Do note that such acts are illegal in India (and elsewhere).

I am pleased to see the site.
There is a misconception, Konkanis came from Goa. and the Portuguese drove us away to the presnt day States of Kerala, Maharashtra& Karnataka. Konkan is not Goa alone. Konkan is all the land from Bombay to Malabar Coast. Goa is just a small part of Konkan.

I am right now rediscovering my roots. I am a GSB by birth all right but married to a Maharashtrian and leading an extremely cosmopolitan life in a megapolis that makes you blend in.A couple of years back, I visited Mangalore for the first time. I was enchanted and completely bowled over by its beauty, the culture, the food and it hit me that there was just so much to discover about my Konkani heritage. A net search on my great-grandfather Shrinivas Mallya led me to this site and I am hooked. I am as much a fan of daalitoi as is every person from every other community who's savoured it at my place. It's my divine almost daily fix. I was amused by the Konkani proverbs and have resolved to delve deeper into Konkani Literature too. It's amazing that you have undertaken the task of gathering such material and saving it for posterity. For people like me, who are hardcore urbanites with very little time to get to know our cultural identity, this is godsend. Luckily, I was brought up by my maternal grandmother (now

Hi,
It was good to read & try some of the words. We speak Chitrapur Saraswats konkani, not GSB. I have always been passionate about keeping the language intact by 'speaking' at home. Our 5 year daughter also speaks it fluently.Your site has been helpful. thank you & keep up the good work.

I have read few GSB sites and known few Konkani friends well. I admire their patronage towards their community and language. I am Udipi Bramhin and i think traditionally both GSBs and Bramhins are same and the main difference is the language of speak. Yet, its ironical that the families are still backward in ages when it comes to a 'Bramhin Boy' marrying a 'GS Bramhin Girl' or the other way. This is burning me out.
