EDITORIAL OF SRS Vol.7-41 dated 02-17-06
=============================================================
EDITORIAL
Dear Bhagavatas:

We have been flooded with messages both in snail-mail and email as
well as over phone, some of them congratulating us on the effort to
re-educate the aspirants on SV. Some others have offered useful
suggestions to deal with the subject. Sri V. Sadagopan Swami has
offered to provide us with a DVD prepared under the personal
supervision of asmad Achaaryan Srimad Andavan of Poundarikapuram
Swami Asramam, Srirangam.

We did not expect that the subject would evoke so much spontaneous
response among so many readers. We are beholden to all of them and
offer our sincere thanks for the encouragement.

Several other Bhagavatas who had many questions in their mind but
were either afraid or shy of asking have shot a volley of queries in
the spirit of Lord KrishNa's dictum "Tad viddhi pratipaatEna
pariprasnEna sEvayaa/".
(BG IV 34) For example,

?       One not belonging to the "TraivarNikas" who says that he had
his "BharNyaasam" at the feet of Azhagiyasinghar has asked whether
any alternative was available for him to observe SV.
?       Another one has sent a mail attaching the text of SV by
Smaartas.
?       Yet another has asked for coaching in Rik and Saama Veda
procedures.
?       Some have sought further clarifications on topics already
dealt with in the earlier issue. (SRS Vol.7-39).

Though we cannot claim by any means to be either "Jnaani" or "Tattva
Darsi" in terms of KrishNa's second part of the slOka quoted above -
"upadEkshyanti tE Jnaanam jnaaninah Tattva darsinah//", we are
tempted to provide answers to the best of knowledge and
understanding, based on the inputs received during the kaalakshEpams
on AnushTaana grantams at the feet of revered Achaaryas.

We are surprised that many more young and old (some in their fifties
and sixties of age) have come up in the open to honestly acknowledge
that they were remiss in doing this Nitya-karma over the years and
request to be taught again.

When the Upanayanam investiture is made, a Brahmachaari is said to
become a (Dvi-ja) meaning "Twice-born". The surge of interest
exhibited by these aspirants for "Re-Initiation" would seem to
generate a new genre that could be rightfully knighted as "Tri-ja"
(Thrice- born)!
