Dear Swamins: I appreciate the e-mails. Adiyen has some views on the subject which I would like to place for your consideration: First and foremost - anyone aspiring to learn Vedas should be punctual in doing SANDHYAVANDANAM. He should take a sankalpa to do 108 gayatri Japa every day. Secondly, we need to create different levels of learning portions of Vedas and set up an 'order' to learn them - starting from the most frequently recited mantrAs to the more difficult ones. For eg.: Pancha Sooktas may be the basic level. After that, should one learn Agni-Sandhana MantrAs or Taittiriya Upanishad or Udaka Shanti? I think one should learn all the Vedic Mantras required for Nitya Karmanushtanam. For eg.: my acharya was very particular about having me learn the Punyahavachana mantram, and the agni-sandhana mantrams. Also those of us living in the USA participate in chanting at temples. Mantras like Ghosha-Shanti, asheerwada mantrams, general homa-mantrams etc., become important. We should discuss these with great achryas and arrive at a syllabus for the different levels. We can then start "summer-schools" for different levels identified to train our young Sri Vaishnavites so that when they come abroad they have a good basic knowledge to participate in the home/temple functions and make the experience 'divine' and enjoyable for every-one. We can dedicate ourselves to raising money for the summer schools. S.
