SrI:
Dear VedAbhimAnis:
Last year we started two new Kaimkaryams
for Sri MalOlan & Dolai KaNNan .
One was Thirumanjanam for Sri Malolan
on Swati days
and
the other was Veda
PaarAyaNams of Acchidhra/Aswamedha m on
EkAdasi days and KaaThaka PaarAyanam on
DhvAdasi days .
The Swati Thirumanjanam needs $125
for the Monthly Thirumanjana
Kaimkaryam .
the EkAdasi/DhvAdasi
Veda PaaraayaNam needs $80 as
SambhAvanai for the Particpants
including some SalakshaNa
GhanapAdis .
adiyEn is pleased to let you know
that the 12 Monthly Swati Thirumanjanams
have now been sponsored by one Sishya for
2009 and beyond .
That leaves us coverage of the 26 EkAdasis/
DhvAdais in 2009 . Last year , number of
SishyAs sponsored one or other EkAdasi/
DhvAdasi PaarAyaNam.
We need 26 Sponsors from the next EkAdasi ,
Feb 5 until Jan 25, 2010. adiyEn will sponsor one
and that would leave 25 EkAdasi/DhvAdasi
days to be sponsored . The dates for
the EkAdasi/
dhvAdasi are listed at the bottom of this note .
You and your Family can sponsor one or more
EkAdasis. You can contribute Yathaa Sakti
to build up the needed , remaining $2,000
or approximately 1 Lak Rupees .
I am planning to place the recitation of
Acchidra/AswamEdha / Kaadaka
PaarAyaNams in the new portal for
Sri Ahobila Matam so that you can
learn from a competent Veda PaarAyaNam
Expert and practise it with the audio online .
The power of these Veda BhAgams on these
sacred days is enormous . These are from
KrishNa YajurvEdam . The KaaDaka PaarAyaNam
is considered equivalent to the recitation of
Koti Gaayatri Mantram .
Acchidhram has 14 anuvAkams ;
AswamEdham has 23 anuvAkams .
KaaDakam
has 3 PrasNAMS.
Acchidhram means that which is
blemishless . When you hear
the cadences of Acchidhram , You
can experience the flow of a Bhava
Naasini river .
AswamEdham is the Yajn~am performed
by Sri Raamacahndra in AyOddhi . Brahma
Devan performed with these Mantrams
the AswamEdha Yaagam at Kaanchi
and brought about the AavirbhAvam
of Lord VaradarAjan in the Yajna Vedhi
and we are blessed to have the Lord's
sevai even today at Hasthigiri .
On EkAdasi/DhvAdasi days ,
PoorNAdhikAris of Yajur Vedam recite
before malolan and the Murthys of Golden
Mantapam all these Veda BhAgams with
Sankalpam for the sponsors and Srimath
Azhagiya Singar wii send PrasAdhams
( Mantrakshathai) to the sponsors .
Please join in the Vedha ParAyaNa Kaimkaryam
and let me know so I can send you the addresses
in USA and in India to send your samarpaNams .
adiyEn will provide additional notes on
selected Mantrams of Acchidram to indicate
how the Veda Siras ( Upanishads ) evolve from
there .
