Mahanty/ Mohanty/Mahanti is neither caste nor a family.
It is only an honorific title.
The surname Mahanty, alternatively spelled as Mahanti, Mohanty, and Mahanthi (మహంతి), originates from the Sanskrit terms "Mahan" and "Mahant," both signifying "great." These names reflect individuals of considerable influence who, through their personal charisma, intelligence, wisdom, or expertise, wielded their power in a manner that left a lasting and significant impact, earning them the esteemed recognition of greatness.
It is pertinent to note that Mahanty, along with its alternative spellings Mohanty, Mahanti, and Mahanthi (మహంతి), served as an honorific title (उपाधि/पदवी) bestowed by the kings of Utkala, encompassing present-day Odisha and Bankura, Purulia and Midnapore district of West Bengal. This recognition, granted irrespective of caste considerations, was conferred upon individuals with profound expertise in fields such as administration and accounting during historical periods. Importantly, Mahanty is not indicative of a specific caste or family; rather, it solely represents an honorary designation, akin to titles like Padma Bhushan or Bidya Bhushan.
वेद,और अग्नि पुराण के अनुसार,हरी ओम मंत्र के जप से,
व्यक्ति का पाप नाश होता है और उसे मोक्ष की प्राप्ति होती है।
इस जन्म में मैं ब्राह्मण हूँ, अगले जन्म में क्षत्रिय हो सकता हूँ। इस जन्म में मैं मानव हूँ, अगले जन्म में दानव हो सकता हूँ। इस जन्म में मैं पशु हूँ, अगले जन्म में वसु हो सकता हूँ। इसलिए हमें किसी भी पहचान या स्थिति पर गर्व या आसक्ति नहीं रखनी चाहिए, बल्कि सत्य, तप, दया, दान, पवित्रता, प्रेम, भक्ति और करुणा को अपने जीवन में अपनाना चाहिए।
We should not feel pride or sorrow over our surnames or titles, as they are temporary labels. In this life, I may be a Brahmin; in the next, I could be a Kshatriya. Today I am human; tomorrow, I could be a demon. In one life, I might be an animal, and in another, a divine being. Therefore, we should not cling to any particular identity or status. Instead, we should focus on embodying virtues like truth, austerity, compassion, charity, purity, love, devotion, and kindness. These qualities define us more deeply than any label or rank ever could.
