I dont know about North Indian Brahmins ... Buts most South Indian Brahmins ... specially the Nambothiri Brahmins which are said to the oldest tribe Brahmins know Poojas and Karmams very well...
I know a Couple of Nairs, they became Brahmins... who learned Poojas shastras are working as poojaris in Temple...
most Vedic knowledge is passed on by mouth not by writing it ... as according to the tradition if these Texts are written then changes can be made and hence be corrupted from the original text ... these mantras can only be said in rhyme and tune ...
so either the government should take initiative to secure these mantras and hymns should be preserved ... or some Organizations funded by government should take up the cause... or else these would be extinct for ever with the extinction of these Brahmins... Culture and knowledge of 5,000 + years would be lost with in a century...
