SrI: Dear AasthikAs: The Upaakrama anushtAnam is next week . adiyEn and a team of devotees have assembled the material for the observance of Upaakaraas ( Text , Images and audios ) along with references to complimentary material from informative web sites like Vaideekam( http://www.ahobila.com) and Prapatti.com . These will appear as the 42nd , 43rd and the 44th e-books in the Sundarasimham Web site (http://www.sundarasimham.org ) in the form of PDF files that you can print out . The links are : http://www.sundarasimham.org/Srisookthis/Rigupaakarma.pdf http://www.sundarasimham.org/Srisookthis/Samaupaakarma.pdf http://www.sundarasimham.org/Srisookthis/Yajurupaakarma.pdf Additional Information : ************************** 1. Rg Veda Upaakarma is difficult to get help with . Hence I am recording Rg Veda Upaakarmaa by oneof the most eminent Bruhaspathys in India in one or Two DVDs/VCDs and have requested a friend of mine to hand carry it with him , when he reurns here on Aug 13, 2006 from India .It may be late for this year's Rg upaakarma but you can use comfortably the 42nd e-book , which is dedicated to HH SrI Injimettu Azhagiya Singar . We will try to get a dozen copies from India and they will be made available on a first come , first served basis . We will request a small contribution from you to defray the expenses of Video production and SambhAvanai for the GhanapAdi Bruhaspathy Swamy , who is sharing his scholarship . Please let me know for joining the queue . 2. Saama Veda Upaakarmaa is from the free handout by Sri Ahobila Matam as a part of the supplement to Sri Nrusimha Priyaa . Please subscribe to the Tamil or English Versions of Sri Nrusimha Priya for regular Monthly issues and special supplements like this . The TarpaNams in Saama Vedam for the Rishis are many . It is no accident since we owe a lot to the Rishis ( mantra dhrushtAs) . Every Veda Mantram has a Rishi , Chandas and Devathaa . The Rishis and some times their wives ( Agasthyaa and Lobhamudhra for instance ) have the Mantrams that were revealed to them through their Tapas . I will post a special article about these Rishis , RishiNees and coment on selected Veda Manthrams associated with them . It is only appropraite that each Vedic Upaakarmaa salutes them and try to please them with the TarpaNams . These TarpaNams in Yajur Vedam are shorter and longer in Saama Vedam , which GeethAchAryan identified with ( VEdAnaam Saama VEdhOsmi ). The Saama Veda Upaakarma e-book is dedicated to HH DevanArviLAgam Azhagiya Singar , adiyEn's SamAsrayaNa AchAryan . 3. Yajur Veda Upaakarmaa book has subsections on the significance of Vedams and Upanishads in our Vedic sampradhAyam and the importance of Upaakarmam beyond the changing of sacred threads . Bhagavaan Yoga Hayagrivan's image ( Veda Purushan's image from Thiruvaheendhrapuram given to Swamy Desikan by Garudan on OushadhAdhri hills) is housed here . The Yajur Upaakarmaa e-book ( the 44th e-book) is dedicated to HH Mukkur Azhagiya Singar , who built the South Raaja Gopuram at Srirangam . May Lord Hayagrivan bless You all and encourage you to have Your SamaasrayaNams and SaraNAgathy ( Aathma VivAham) from AchArya Saarvabhoumaas this year ! It is never too early to place the Aathmaa at the sacred feet of the dhivya Dampathis with the help of the Gadakars (AchAryAs) , who are waiting to perform these important VivAhams !
