Badaganadu Brahmins
The Badaganadu are a Brahmin community that mainly reside in Karnataka, and now due to the advent of globalization they are spread throughout the world. Badaganadu Community is one of the three main streams of adherents to the Advaita Vedanta propounded by Sri Shankaracharya and are followers of the Smarta tradition (known as Smartism). Smarta is derived from 'Smrithi' a Sanskrit word with the meaning of one who "remembers or reveres their teacher/Guru".
==Origins==
Literally, Badaganadu means the northern land, probably originating from badaga (north). Referred to the community, it might mean people from the northern parts, who were brought to perform pujas in Sanskrit language. The mother tongue of Badaganadu community has been Kannada, and are largely spread around the northern parts of Karnataka, Bellary, Cuddapah,Guntur, Prakasam and Anantapur districts, Bangalore, Shivamogga, Chikkamagaluru, Davanager, Chitradurga, Holenarasipura, Madhugiri, Tumkur and other parts of Karnataka.
Badaganadu Community emphasises a strong education, thus most of the community members are well educated and are Engineers, doctors, Officers etc. The main deity of some of the Badaganadus is Lord Venkateshwara or Ahobila lakshmi Narasimha and for some it is Lord Mylaralingeshwara or Lord Malatesha of Devaragudda or Mailara near Ranebennur in Haveri District, the last three located in Northern parts of Karnataka. And for some Badaganadu Brahmins the main deity is Lord Nanjundeshwara of Nanjanagudu, Mysore, South Karnataka.
