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 !

particular
