WHAT DOES BRAHMINISM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Brahminism

Historical Vedic religion

The religion of the Vedic period was the religion of the Indo-Aryans of northern India. It is a historical predecessor of modern Hinduism, though significantly different from it. The Vedic liturgy is conserved in the mantra portion of the four Vedas, which are compiled in Sanskrit. The religious practices centered on a clergy administering rites. This mode of worship is, largely unchanged, being practiced by a small fraction of conservative Śrautins who continue the tradition of oral recitation of hymns learned solely through the oral tradition.
