 Sannigrahi Surname(ষন্নিগ্রহী):-



Sannigrahi is a surname (उपनाम/कुलनाम ) mostly found among Utkal Brahmins of  Bankura in the Indian state of West Bengal, and rarely found in other parts of India and abroad.

 According to the opinion of most of the Sannigrahi Brahmins, Utkal Brahmins who defeated six Ripu (Shada Ripu) are conferred, the Sannigrahi title. In Bengali -কাম,ক্রোধ, লোভ,মোহ, মদ ও মাৎসর্য এইছয় রিপুকে যে ব্রাহ্মণ সংবরণ /দমন করতে পারেন তিনিই হলেন ষন্নিগ্রহী ব্রাহ্মণ । In the course of time, this title became the surname(उपनाम/कुलनाम ) and the later generations inherited it.

Shadripu /Shada Ripu (Sanskrit:षड्रिपु).

Arishadvarga or Shadripu /Shada Ripu (Sanskrit:षड्रिपु) meaning the six enemies. Shada Ripu is the six enemies of the mind, which are: kama (lust), krodha (anger), lobha (greed), Mada (arrogance), moha (delusion), and 'matsarya (jealousy); the negative characteristics of man.

*It is pertinent to mention here, Balaram Sannigrahi is said to be a forefather of all Sannigrahis.

Knowledge Through Poetry (Especially in Sanskrit) Poetry makes knowledge last. Verse is easy to remember and simple to transmit, even without writing. In the Sanskrit tradition , wisdom was preserved orally for centuries, carried faithfully through sound and memory.
