Sri:

Dear Srimathy SangeethA :

Regarding your two questions , here are some thoughts:

A. Namakam is Sri Rudram; Nmaakam  and Chamakam are part of
Yajur Vedam . The PanchAkshari Mantram dear to
Siva worshippers is right at the middle of Namakam .

Rudram and Chamakam are part of Vedam
and are learnt by one and all .

Chamakam follows . The details on Chamakam , its meanings
are available at  :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shri_Rudram_chamakam

You can also access it at http://www.mypuroith.com

B. Sooktham is both a general term and a specific term .
Rg Vedam is the oldest of the Vedams . It is divided in to
either MaNDalams or Ashtakams .

MaNDalam is further divided into Anuvaakam and Sooktham .
Ashtakam is divided into AdhyAyam , Vargam , Rk and antham .

Sookthams or individual Rg Veda Manthrams(clusters) about a specific
topic . The Pancha Sookthams for instance refer to Purusha Sooktham
et al , which are recited every day .

There are other groupings of Sookthams . For instance , the First  anuvAkam
with its 24 Sookthams realtes to the purification of the SthUla sareeram
( Physical Body) . The 36 Sookthams of the 2nd anuvAkam deals with the 
purification
of the mi ( Sookshma Sareeam) . The final 7 sookthams of the third anuvAkam
are addressed to the 7 regions of the spirit ( KaaraNa Sareeram).

There are many similar groups of Sookthams on the different Veda Manthrams
to reflect upon .

Yesterday I recieved the tape of the Purusha Sooktam 
containing its recitation in the way in which different 
available SaakhAs of the 4 Vedam recite . I am waiting for
the completion of the recording of Purusha Sooktham in
Saama Veda SaakhA of RaaNAyini . Hope to have it recorded
at Thirumala duirng the October visit to Lord Venkatachalapathy's 
sannidhi . 

NamO Veda PurushAya ,
V.Sadagopan
