Brahma-kiari

Brahma-Kiari in the religious doctrine of India is the period of the Brahmins from childhood until the age of puberty, i.e., until the twelfth year. During this period the youthful Brahmin is instructed by one teacher in all that it is necessary for him to know, the teacher ever afterwards being held in high respect as a saint by the youth who came under his instruction.
