Dear list members

        I've been a silent member of the list for some time, 
following with interest many of the discussions taking place, but 
until now was busy at university studying for my degree and haven't 
had a chance to post.

        By way of introduction: I am 22 years old, living near 
London, UK.  My parents hail from Mysore and Bangalore, and settled 
here over 30 years ago.  We're of Sama Vedi lineage and I've been 
searching for the (notoriously elusive!) Sama Upakarma procedure for 
a couple of years now since my upanayanam.  To my knowledge there are 
no practising Samavedis in the UK so it's not possible to get it done 
at a temple here.

        Recently while in India I found a copy of the procedure in 
Kannada, as well as the Tamil PDF from Ahobila Matham website.  
However my kannada and tamil reading is a bit slow; so I've tried to 
put together a Roman transliteration of the procedure.  In light of 
what some other members have posted, I'm very unsure of the 
correctness of certain sections. However, the tarpaNam section should 
be mostly correct and if anyone in this group would like an English 
script transliteration I'd be more than happy to post it/send it... 

        Lastly, is it possible to get hold of the mantras for maunji, 
ajina and danDa? These aren't in either of my sources and I'm not 
sure if they are they are the same as for Yajur Vedis.  Also I'd like 
to know at what point in the upakarma procedure they should be 
recited.  Any help would be much appreciated.

best wishes,

Ranjan
