Sri:
 
Dear VedAbhimAnis :
 
In the context of earlier postings  inviting
you to sponsor the Acchidra/AswamEdha
PaarAyaNams on EkAdasi days in 2009
and KaaThaka PaarAyaNam on DhvAdasi
days at SrI Matam before Sri Malolan and
Dolai KaNNan , I would like to share with
You some quotations from these three Veda
BhAgams .
 
Acchidhram : The 114th Mantram from
the 11th anuvAkam :
 
" yata Indhra bhayAmahE
   tatO nO abhayankruti "
 
(Meaning ) : " From what we fear , Oh Indra,
Give us absence of fear ! Oh Generous One !
Be able to accomplish that deed of thee for
pur help. Do Thou destroy our enemies,
do Thou destroy our scorners----Oh Lord !
Go in front od us,giving well being,
procuring security ".
 
Acchidram: 111th Mantram ( 11th AnuvAkam):
 
" The Brahman ( the holy power of
the sacred word) is the foundation of
the mind.This Brahman is the foundation
of speech.This Brahman is the foundation
of speech. This Brahman is the foundation
of sacrifices , of oblations and of the
clarified butter ( offered to gods). That
whichof the religious performances is
superflous and that which is insufficent ,
the sacrifice, extending its joints,sets
that in order . Let the oblation offered
wiht the exclamation Svaahaa go to
the gods. 
 
Part of the 112th Mantram: 
 
" Gazing on the higher light , Surya (the Sun),
god among gods , we , from darkness,
have come to the highest light . His rays bear
Him upwards, the all knowing God , Surya that
all may look at Him---He has filled the sky and
earth and the atmosphere, Surya , the Soul of
all that moves and stands ".
 
What Majestic Statements !
 
AsvamEdham : " The Hoese Sacrifice"
 
AsvamEdham begins with " Hari: Om !
sAngrahaNyEshDyA yajatE imAm
JanatAgam samgruhNAneeti  and ends up
with " yEtadhanukruti ha sma vai purA
aSvasya mEdhyasya vivartanE vivartanE
juhvati ".
 
To think of these mantrams being used
by Chathurmukha BrahmA and Lord
Raamachandra during their performance
of AsvamEdha Yajn~am is an incredible
thought .
 
KaaThakam : The lilting Vedic poetry is
abundantly evident thru out KaaThakam
in my personal experience . Let us study
the First mantram:
 
" Hari: Om , samjn~Anam
vijn~Anam prajn~Anam
jAnadhabhijAnAt,
sankalpamAnam prakalpamAna-
mukalpamAna-mupakluptam 
kluptam".
 
What a profound statement !
What a sacred echo of profound
VedAntic thoughts !
 
Let us keep this eternal aspect of
Vedams going and pass it on to
the next generation !
