SrI:
Dear VedabhimAnis:
I am very happy to present a brilliant
UpanyAsam by SrikAryam Swami of
Ahobila MaTham , GhanapAdi PazhavEri
Sri U.Ve.SaThakOpAcchAr Swamy .
I am grateful to Sriman G.
Veeraraghavan
of Chembur for helping to record and
transmit this 44 minute UpanyAsam .
My thanks are to Sri Jayashree and
Murali Desikachari Dampathys for
compacting this audio file and
cutting down the background noises.
For the benefit of those , who may not
be able to understand Tamil , the gist
of
the UpanyAsam is:
Acchidhram , AswamEdham and KaaDakam
are KrishNa YajurvEda Mantrams that
are
recited on EkAdasi/DhvAdasi days .
Acchidhram is used for destruction of
all sins and are Yajana ,
Yaajana
PrAyascchittha Mantrams for improper
conductance of Vedic Yaagams
like
AswamEdham and other Soma Yaagams.
The recitation of Acchidram yields
the phalan of performing
AswamEdham.
Swamy recited specific mantrams from
Acchidhram and other Veda BhAgams
to celebrate the nobility of the VedAs ,
the need to support and protect Veda
AdhikAris and blessed us with
knowledge
on the various ways to perform Homams
.
Acchiddhra/AswamEdha/KaaDaka
Recitations was started by Present
Srimath Azhagiya Singar at SrI Matam.
KamalApuram SanthAna GopAlAcchAr
was the First PoorNAdhyAyi , who
recited the above Veda BhAgams at
the niyamanam of Srimath Azhagiya
Singar . That tradition continues .

this rich tradition of
above Veda
