SrI:

Dear Srimathy Saranathan :

Thanks very much for your mail . You have requested to
answer the question posed by Sri Madhavan , who is genuinely
concerned about the problems faced by many in following
Vaidhika anushtAnams ( SamskArams) .

It is absolutely important to follow the Veda Manthrams associated with
SamskArams from a Competent Bruhaspathy ; if the Bruhaspathy
has undergone VedAdhyayanam , the recitation of the Manthrams
with Svarams would be even more desirable .

My Father and Grandfather were Bruhaspathys with
VedAdhyayanam ( My Father in Yajur Vedam and my grandfather
in both Yajur and Saama Vedam ) . They insisted that the adhikAri
follows them by reciting the Manthrams slowly and offering explanations,
whenever needed , about the significance of the Manthrams .

Many of us are scientists and professionals and enjoy knowing
why we do what we do .

It is in this context , I would like to invite your attention
to Srimaan Vaasu Vadhyar of Chennai, who  is rendering yeoman service to
all aasthikAs as the Moderator of Vaideekam Group and answers
tirelessly all the questions related to the observances . The address
of this group is :

Vaideekam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

His web site is a treasure house of information:

http://www.ahobilam.com

Very concrete , correct (SampradhAyic)  and practical (no nonsense)
help is given to Members seeking help at that web site . You must access
these web pages to realize the wealth of Information there . We owe a debt 
of
gratitude to Srimaan Vaasu VadhyAr of West Mambalam (Srimaan Deevalur 
N.V.Srinivasan )
for the unique and much needed Kaimkaryam thru the web site; free services
for all who wish to follow the path prsecribed by our SaasthrAs and ahnikam
are also provided .

Although Srimaan Vaasu VadhyAr is very self-effacing , it is important for 
all
of us  to know the availability of such help to clarify our doubts in 
English and
Tamil . His commitment to help aasthikAs with great sacrifices of time and
energy is astounding . One of his sons is earning a Technical degree in
an Engineering Institution but is capable of performing Vaidhika SamskArams
and helping his father as needed . His other son is attending Srimath 
Srirangam
Andavan's Veda PaatasAlai at VaduvUr , where GanapAdi DesikAcchAr Swamy
is the head . Without embarassing , Sriman Vaasu VaadhyAr , I am delighted 
to say
that he practises what he believes in thru settign us all an example that
there is a way if one wants to , to nourish our ancient (sanaatana) dharmams 
.

Please become members of this Vaideekam group and  access the Web Pages
(ahobilam.com) for archival material and for discussions .

With prayers to the dhivya damapthis and AchAryans for
the continued growth in the Kaimkarya Sri of Sriman Vaasu VaadhyAr ,

Daasan , Oppiliappan KOil V.Sadagopan
New York , USA

P.S : Last year , adiyEn sponsored a one day seminar at West Mambalam
organized by Vaikunta Vaasi Sri Ozhapaakkam Swamy . Scholars spent
the whole day and gave upanyAsams on the significance of important
samskArams like Upanayanam , Seemantham , anthima KriyAs et al .
With the help of the organizers , adiyEn has recorded these sessions
in 5 DVDs . Because of the pressure of time that day , many scholars
who took part could not fully cover the various points that they wnated to
cover in their allocated topics . To tackle this problem , a written text
is being released soon . While the sabha was organizing the release of
this monograph at the end of this month , Srimaan OzhapAkkam Swamy
attained his AchAryan Thiruvadi . The release ceremony had to be postponed .
I am waiitng to hear about a new date for release of this important
monograph by the SabhA at West Mambalam ( K.R.KOil St) . I have copied
Sriman Srinath , the secretary of the Sabha on this mail .
