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 .
