Chaurasia is a word which originated from ancient Indian Vedas. It refers basically to an originally Brahmin community from India and Nepal. The word "Chaurasia" word inherits from the vedic word "chaturashiitah" which refers eighty four in Sanskrit. Since ancient India, according to Hindu mythology, it is believed there are eighty four thousand Yonis (breeds, types) of Gods existing in this universe. Every species which exists on Earth belongs to a particular Yoni. At a later stage and for easy pronunciation it was changed into "Chaurasia" (a Hindi equivalent also means eighty four).
