There are TWO Pashupatinath temples in the world.One is in Nepal-everyone know this,another,Ashtamukhi Pashupatinath Temple in Madhya Pradesh(Mandsuar District).The Priests of Nepal Pashupatinath Temple were traditionally appointed from the South of Vindhyachal.
The unique feature of this temple is that only four priests can touch the idol. The priests are always from south India. This tradition is supposed to have started by Sage Shankaracharya in sixth century, ostensibly to stop human sacrifice which was prevalent in that temple.
The more official view of Indian priests being stationed at Pashupatinath is because when the King passes away, the entire Nepali people are supposed to stop religious services and enter a year long period of mourning. As the Pashupatinath needs to be eternally worshipped, Indians were brought to make sure that the Pashupatinath is worshipped even at the time of official mourning.
Brahamanism is strictly practiced by them.Eastern Indian Brahmins take Fish/egg in their meals,Nepali Brahmins(not all brahmins) take fish/eggs/mutton for granted.Tamil Nadu Brahmins adher to the Vedas and never shed their sweat to earn.Most of them are educators, priests,engineers and scientists.
As Brahmanism spread to South from the North,purity is maintained now only in the Southern part of India.Flexibility of Hinduism entered into the practice in the North & Eastern parts.
Tamil Language traveled to Sri lanka and Singapore from TamilNadu,now it exists there in its pure original form.
Buddhism originated from India and now retain its charm in the South-Eastern and North-Eastern Asian Countries.
I think you got the moral of this post.Everything looses its charm in its locality!
