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 ).
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 .
May Lord Hayagrivan bless You all and enmcourage 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 !
