About Varshney's
Varshney Community is primarily based in western UP (mainly Aligarh, Chandausi, Hathras, Mathura, Bahjoi, Moradabad, etc.). The first known reference to the term “Varshney” has been in Mahabharat / Bhagvat Geeta, wherein Arjuna had addressed Shri Krishna by this name.
Varshney, Varshnei, Varshnai, Varshnaya, Varshni, Vrishni or Vrushni are family names from India. They are variant spellings of the name Varshneya, first recorded in the Mahābhārata as used by Arjuna to address Vasudeva Krishna. This group is collectively known as Barahseni, including some other family names, such as Dwadashreni.
The Barahseni are a sub-caste found in Uttar Pradesh. Their name combines the words barah meaning twelve, and sena meaning army. The Barahseni are found mainly in western Uttar Pradesh, particularly in Aligarh, Bulandshahr, Mathura District, Agra, and Badaun. They speak both Hindi and Khariboli and have customs similar to other Bania castes. The Barahseni were the traditional bankers of North India, while many, especially in Aligarh District, were substantial landowners.
In religious terms, Varshney considers themselves as progenies of Sri Akrurji Maharaj. There is debate over whether Varshneys belong to the Vaishya (merchants) or Kshatriya (warriors and rulers) caste.
Although the Varshney community remains centered in western Uttar Pradesh, many have migrated worldwide. The name traditionally represents the business community and also some landowners and former zamindars. Many have also entered other walks of life, including the professions and Civil Services. Not all members of the Varshney community use the word Varshney as their surname; many, perhaps half of them, use Gupta.
The cultural anthropology of Varshneys is closely connected to the city of Mathura. The commercial relations of Shwafalk, the father of Akroorji were spread far and wide. He was skilled in the management of finance. He was not much interested in the ruling work (The work of Kshatriyn) because of his work in strengthening the economic condition of Varanasi the King of that place married his daughter off with him. On account of his maternal place being a center of learning studies and teachings, Akroorji was, by temperament, a learned man with saintly tendencies. He also inherited the skill of commercial Aealings from his father shwafalk. He was born into the Kshatriya family with the respective tendencies. Even a cruel king like kans recognized the merit and influence of Akroorji; when Kans failed in calling Krishna to Mathura by all other means,
