Introduction

The Jijhotia are a group of Brahmins residing in northern and central India. Brahmins continue to follow the traditional four stages of life. The first stage is that of a student, succeeded by the householder stage, where one's main responsibilities include marriage, raising a family and contributing to society. After children are married, individuals enter the third stage of reclusiveness, focusing on spiritual concerns. The final stage, which the people rarely practice, involves itinerant and homeless wandering.

Ministry Obstacles

There may be no Christ followers among the Jijhotia Brahmin. They know that becoming a Christian will mean losing much of their high status. Few would dare to take this step. Early on, Jesus’ disciples only understood him to be a teacher. It wasn’t until late in his ministry that most of them understood his lordship. Brahmins will also need to learn who Jesus is, one step at a time.
