Subject: PISHTA PASU USED IN SOMA YAAGAMS

 

Dear BhakthAs :

 

In modern day Soma Yaagams , Pishta Pasu is sacrificed

instead of the Yaaga Pasu . There was a dispute between

DevAs and Maharishi once upon a time about the superiority of

offering Pishta Pasu or live Yaaga Pasu in the Yaj~nams as Havis .

A great chOla king , who had accumulated so much PuNyam

was asked to arbitrate .This king had the power to travel on

his chariot in the air from place to place .

 

The King heard both sodes and deliberately ruled in favor of

the DevAs ( Live Yaaga Pasu) although the correct answer was

the Pishta Pasu havis is same in effect . This faltering on his part 

led to his car being grounded from the air. His wheels got stuck on

ground at a dhivya dEsam , which was renamed as ThEr AzhunthUr

( where the aerial chariot got stuck) . The Lord of this dhivya dEsam

is Aamuruviyappan (Gosakan) and recieved 47 Paasurams from

Thirumangai AzhwAr .

 

NambhUdhri Brahmins are well known for their rigorous observances

of Soma Yaagams . Pishta Pasu made from flour and used in one of their

Soma Yaagams is seen in the picture.Its limbs are offered as Havis

during the different stages of the Yaj~nam.

 

I am trying to get Saama Veda Purusha Sooktham recorded in

the three SaakhAs ( Jaimineeyam , RaaNAyaneeyam and Kauthumam ).

The Saama Veda Aalapanam in Jaimineeya branch is said to be

the most musical . From my experience , the RaaNAyaneeya

recitation is the most musical . I am told that there are only 3 adhikAris

who have full mastery of RaaNAyaNeeya SaakhA . I heard this SaakhA's

aalApanam in front of   MalOlan at the silver mantapam as

Srimath Azhagiya Singar invited the Lord of Ahobilam

to listen ( AkhilNDa Koti BrahmAnda Naayaka ,

RaaNAyaneeya Saama SaakhAm srAvaya). That was

a thrilling experience .

 

I invite Chennai or Bangalore or Palakat or USA  based

followers of Saama Vedam to help me in this effort

to record these three Saama Veda SaakhAs of Purusha

Sooktham for all of us to enjoy. May I request the volunteers

to contact me ?  The recordings of Purusha Sooktham

according to Yajur ( Sukla and KrishNa) , Rg and Atharva

Vedams are  available already .

 

Thank You all would-be -participants in this project !

 

NamO Veda PurushAya ,
