SrI:
Dear
VedAbhimAnis:
70 days from today , Srimath
Azhagiya Singar's
SathAbhishEkam will be
celebrated at Srirangam
(November 30 ,
2006).
This uthsavam will be
preceded by Veda PaarAyaNam
by 500 invited Vedic
Authorities covering the three Vedams ,
its SaakhAs and in some
patterns and combinations
to protect error free methods
of Recitation .
These 8 methods ( Prakruthi
& Vikruthi)
are known as
:
(1) Vaakya Paatam or
Samhithaa Paatam
( Recitation of the Veda Mantrams in
a straight sentence . This
would lead to
some conjoinment among the words
during
the Chanting . This is Vaakya
or Samhithaa Paatam .
When the recitation is done word by
word without
conjoining , then the method is
called Padha Paatam
and it follows Samhithaa Paatam
. The
breaking of
the sentences into words gives the
reciter a thorough
knowledge of each word in a
sentence.
(2) Krama Paatam : Here the first word of the sentence is
linked to the second word and next the second word is
linked to the third word etc until the sentence ( mantra)
is completed . The reciter understands
not only
the
individual words but also the method of combining
words during the recitation and changes in
Swaraas
in
such a combination . The order is 1-2 , 2-3, 3-4
etc.
(3) Jataa : Here , the order is 1-2-2-1-1-2 ,
2-3-3-2-2-3 ; 3-4-4-3-3-4 etc. In Jataa
or " twisted
braids" , two words are repeated forward
& Backward.
(4) Sikhaa : here the three words are linked
forwards
and
backwards.
(5) Rekhaa ( Line) : The next four patterns of recitation
(5-8)
involve more compex sequences and needs a Mastery of
high
order in handling the Veda MantrAs .
(6) dhwajam (
Flag)
(7) DaNdaa
(Stick)
(8) RaTam ( Chariot)
(9) Ghanam : This is a most beautiful & Complex form
of
recitation .The order is:
1-2-2-1-1-2-3-321-1-2-3 ,
2-3-3-2-2-3-4-4-3-2-23-4 ,
3-4-4-3-3-4-5-5-4-3-3-4-5 .
It takes 8 years after
SamhithA ahyayanam to become
a GhanapAti .
Chanted in this style , it
will take 450 hours to recite
Rg Vedam .
One of the leaders among Rg
Veda GhanapAdis ,
Sri Rangarajan Swamy of
KumbakONam will be
joining the Rg Vedam Ghanam
reciting group
at the sathAbhishEkam
celebrations for Prakrutham
Srimath Azhagiya Singar .
There will be other SamhithA
Paatam Rg Vedic reciters
there as well .
The Yajur Vedam Ghanam
reciting group will be
headed by SrikAryam
SaThakOpAcchAr Swamy of
Sri Matam . There will also
be Yajur Veda Samhitha ,
Jataa and Maala reciters
.
The two of the three Saakhais
( Kouthuma and Jaimini
SaakhAs) will be recited at
the SathAbhishEka Uthsavam .
adiyEn is
still looking for a Saama VedAdhyAyee , who can recite
RaaNAyini
SaakhA .
Sri Matam is also looking for these rare Vedic scholars . If you happen
to
have any
information on some one , who can recite RaaNAyini Saakha , Please
let
adiyEn
know so that Sri Matam can invite him. TTD has the recordings of
RaaNAyini
SaakhA but
can not throw light on the identity of such an expert .
There will be 500 Vedic Pundits , who
will be participating
at the four days of VedAdhyayanam at
Srirangam during
Nov 26-29 , 2006. It will be a KallOla
KolAhalam . Thrayyantha
Desikan , Sri Malolan and Sri
RanganAtha will be immersed in
such a Veda ghOsham
.
Please come and join to listen to
the Veda ParAyaNam ,
Vidhvath Sathas ( Assembly of Experts)
. These Experts
are class mates of Srimath Azhagiya
Singar , when they
studied Sri BhAshyam under HH
InjimEttu Azhagiya Singar .
They will give upanyAsams on Sri
BhAshyam instead of
the VaakyArTams , which takes place in
a traditional Vidvath
Sathas
.
