History Of Vishwakarma ( Vishwa Brahmin ) Caste
The original Vedic conception of the cosmos was different from the later brahminic one. It was called 'Visvabrahmam' created by visvakarma, the demiurge of Brahma. It is interesting to notice that this cosmos was oragnised on the principle of 'five' or 'pancha'bootha ( Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Sky ). Accordingly the Brahma/Visvakarma originally had five faces. He had five children from whom the five groups of the artisan community took birth. There were originally five Vedas with Pranava Veda as the last one. It was suppressed by the later brahmins but retained its essence as the one-word mantra of OM.
The various aspects of mundane life also came to be ordered on this principle of five. The land of Indus where they lived itself was Panjab, 'the land of five rivers'. They followed an egalitarian administration based on the rule of five called 'panchayat', which constitutes the basic unit of civil administration even at present in India.1I panchaguna (five qualities), panchakalyani (a peculiar horse), 'Panchavadyam' (five musical instruments), 'panchakarma' (five practices of Ayurvedic medicine), 'panchgavya' (a sacred food made of the five products of cow), 'pancharatna' (five diamonds), 'panchangam' (the Five-part Indian astrological calendar), 'panchamrutam' (food made of five sweet edibles), 'panchadukham' (five sorrows), 'panjaguna' ( sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste ) and 'panjabrahmana' ( manu, maya, twoshta, shilpi, viswajna ) were some of the five-based 'panjagotra' ( Sanaga, Sanatana, Abhuvana, Pratanasa, Suparna ) aspects of this prelapsarian reality with the 'panjavedas' ( Rig veda, Yajur veda, Sama veda, Atharva veda, Pranava veda ).
