    Niyogis are a sect of  Brahmins and are predominantly Teluguspeakers.

    Theories of origin

     The origin of Niyogi community is descending from their Bramhin ancestors originally from Northern as well asNorth Western geographical region of present day India. About six thousand (!!!" exceptionally intelligent#extremely capable of administration# management with high degree of skills of warfare were chosen to help$shatryias in desperate need in defending the country# in piloting the %imanas. &ence the origin of the wordAaru%ela ( ' six thousand Niyogi ' a deri%ati%e of word )Niyogimpabadda) in Telugu which means appointed".Niyogin in *anskrit means +employed+ or +appointed+ and it is ,uite probable that +Niyogi+s were gi%en this name

    because they accept secular employment. In the later centuries they migrated to %arious parts of the country inpursuit of better and -reen pastures. They belong to the brahmakshatriya group who took secular duties like themilitary and administration. The Niyogi Brahmins are the only Brahmin /ommunity which is ali%e in 0odern day politics.1amous !!! Niyogi0odern 2ay 3oliticians are Tangutoori 3rakasham 3antulu (AN2&4A $5*A4I" 1irst /hief 0inister of Andhra *tate.3.6.Narasimha 4ao (1irst 3rime 0inister of IN2IA from *78T&" is a aruvela niyogi brahmin.*ar%epalli 4adhakrishnan (1irst 3resident of IN2IA from *78T&".It is said in *hastras# that one should li%e near a ri%er# away from relati%es but close to place where medical help is

    a%ailable. Thus# they crossed 6indhyas . As they crossed o%er 6indhyas  they came across perennial 4i%er-oda%ari few of them followed 9ow of 4i%er -oda%ari. A few crossed the ri%er and went farther south and cameacross another perinial 4i%er $rishna# they followed 9ow of 4i%er $rishna. *ome went further down tracing originof $rishna 4i%er and came across the main tributory +Tungabadra+ and some other minor tributoriesof ri%er krishnaand settled down around hundreds of its tributories. *ome who went tracing the tributeries of Tunga and Bhadra

    went further west and south west# to almost to west coast in 0alenadu source of ri%er $a%ery. *ome groupsfollowed 9ow of 4i%er $a%eri and went to Tan:a%ur# 0adurai etc in present day Tamil Nadu.Brahmins are known by their paths of belief# like *martas# 6aishna%as or 0adh%as. 0ost of Bramhins in Andhra3radesh# $arnataka and Tamil Nadu belong to the *marta Brahmin group. (Though in later years population of0adh%as saw increase in $arnataka where saint )0ad%acharya) spread the message of dwaitha philosophy".*marthas follow *mritis and they are all followers of Adi -uru# Adi *ankara Acharya. The *marta Brahmins followApastamba *mriti or Apastamba *utra (not 0anu *mriti". Apasthamba sutra dates back to pre (;!! B/" andthese Bramhins were the ones who mastered the art of Administration, Medicine and teaching. Theyare the earliest !!years ago (most probably during $akatiya rule"# Niyogi and 6aidiki# besides the smaller group of Bhatt (Bhattu#Bhatteria# Bhatia# Bhattarika are other %ariants." This classi?cation is based on their inherent ability and 0asterity

    in Administration# *piritual 3ractices and /ooking respecti%ely. Traditionally belie%ed to ha%e descended from

    3radhamasakhi. 3radhamasakha Brahmins are also called a =agna%alkyulu and $an%eyulu. The Aru%ela Niyogis are the largest Niyogi group. 2iEerent explanations exist for the coining of the phrase +Aru%elaNiyogilu+ or !!! Niyogis. They# as well as the ma:ority of Brahmins in Andhra 3radesh# belong to the $rishna =a:ur%eda *chool. *ome part of $rishna 2ist# -untur 2ist and the surrounding areas was called as +AAru %elanaadu+.As these people belong to that area# they were called so.Another belief is that !!! brahmins once left out some area in and around +%ishakhapattanam and thesurrounding *amsthanams+.*o they were called as Aaru%ela niyogulu.Another theory asserts that !!! Brahmins left drought and faminestricken regions of presentday 0aharashtraand tra%eled to coastal and ri%erine regions of Andhra. These Brahmin settlers and their descendants# who adoptedsecular %ocations# were termed the !!! (or Aru%ela" Niyogi. 0any surnames among 0aharashtra Brahmins andAru%ela Niyogis are common (or similar" this fact is considered by many to support for this theory of migration.According to Narasimha *hastry Nori# !!! Brahmins were appointed as %illage heads and accountants and trainingimparted to them# way back in FGth or FHth century A2

    Pravaras5%ery Brahmin family will ha%e 3ra%ara . This means e%ery family linked up with one or two or three origins orancestors or 6amsa 3arampara. 5%ery brahmin family will ha%e minimum three 4ishis . 1or example .# Angirasa #Aayasha# -argeysa. This is one parampara . These three people are origin for today)s generation .

    Niyogis Today

     ai Niyogi# Tyagi# /hitpawan# 0ohyal# Anawil...

    Niyogis unlike the rest of the Brahmins# were warriors# administrators# ministers# reformers in preindependentcolonial India i.e. more like the *amurais of apan.Niyogis are those brahmins# who took up %arious secular%ocations including military ones like their counterparts in other states such as /hitpa%ans in 0aharashtra# 0ohyals

    in the 3un:ab #  Tyagis and Bhumihar Brahmins in most parts of Northern India and the 3ushpaka Brahmins of

    $erala . 1or this many of them ga%e up religious occupations such as priesthood. Today you can see only handfull of niyogi priests working in some temples. But still as brahmins# they are committed to follow indi%idualCfamilyle%el rituals re,uired to be followed at their homes# e%en though they don)t choose that as career outside. &ence#the Niyogis ne%er either accept a religious gift or partake of *hraadha food (food gi%en to Brahmins during deathrelated rituals". In spite of li%ing in modern age# most of them ne%er gi%e up their consciousness regarding their%edic heritage# but rather try to follow or understand them radically.

    Niyogis depend and emphasi@e on modern education# administration (Niyogis ha%e traditionally been wellrepresented in the lower cadres of local administration in Andhra 3radesh"# management etc. In the past# they wereXamindars# Talukdars# 0unsabs# 0inor kings# 0inisters in the courts of kings and feudatories. 0any of them were

    %illage accountantsCclerk# $aranams (in Andhra " or 3atwaris (in  Telangana"# until recently. A famous saying goesYendu Niyogimpavalenanna Niyogimpadagina vaadu Niyogi  &e who can be trusted for successful completion oftask is a Niyogi.

    0any of them were %illage accountantsCclerks# karanams (Andhra" or patwaris (Telangana"# until recently# as aheritage. &owe%er# these positions were abolished by the Telugu 2esam 3arty -o%ernment during FQP!s. As aresult of this and other populist programs such as reser%ations and ,uotas for selected castes and tribes# NiyogiBrahmins had become economically weak till a generation back because of the sudden end to their %ocation. Things ha%e now changed for much better with the community members doing well and occupying senior positionsin pri%ate sector and e%en ha%e their own business establishments.
