Maybe BRAHMANISM

[NC4BBQ]

Definitely:
Martin Haug
The Origin Of Brahmanism

[factor-fiction]

I can't see the wordplay or significance of the 'recorded at the beginning ' so can't decide between Brahmanist or Brahmanism. The 'at the beginning' might be first =ist but that may be nonsense,

[factor-fiction]

Ignore those ramblings.
I see his book was called Origins of Brahmanism so 'origins' explains 'the beginning', presumably recorded = wrote, and so BRAHMANISM does look right
