Gowda Saraswat Brahmins are a
Hindu Brahmin community in India and a part of the larger Saraswat Brahmin
community. They are popularly referred to as GSBs. They are Konkani people
and primarily speak Konkani as their mother tongue. They claim their origin
to the Brahmins who lived on the banks of the now extinct river Saraswati of
upper Punjab or Kashmir. They derived their name from either the river
Saraswati or from their spiritual leader Great Sage Saraswat Muni who lived
on the banks of Saraswati. These Brahmins were one of the Pancha Gowda
Brahmin groups who lived north of the Vindhyas. They belonged to Smarta
tradition and primarily worshiped the five deities: Shiva, Vishnu, Devi,
Surya and Ganesha. Throughout the course of history, the Saraswat Brahmins
have migrated to a variety of locations and are found mostly in Western
coast of India.
