Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha:
Humble Pranam to all devotees:
Vedics Foundation is blessed to bring to the Asthika Community, a product that
can
help devotees learn and chant the 4000 by-heart.
For this purpose, the Nalayira divya prabhandham santhai is being recorded by
people
who participate in the goshti at Srirangam, and is led by Sri BadriNarayana
Parasara Bhattar Swami.
We are honoured to have the leadership of Sri BadrinarayaNa parAsara bhattar
svami, a direct
descendant of Sri Parasara Bhattar who performs kainkaryam for Lord Sri
Ranganatha.
Chanting Method:
===============
In the traditional method of learning, students learn 50 paasurams from a
teacher over 15 days.
For the first couple of days, the teacher recites each word of the pasuram,
followed by the
students repeating it 3 times. This procedure is called ?santhai?. For the next
2 or 3 days, the
santhai proceeds with the teacher teaching with 2 words (or half a line) at a
time. For the next 2 or 3 days,
the santhai continues with 1 line; then with 2 lines; then with the whole
paasuram. Towards the end of the
15 day period, the students will be able to recite the whole paasuram. For the
next 15 days, a procedure
called ?thiruvai? is done where the paasurams learnt over the past 15 days are
recited in addition to the
new 50 paasurams santhai. Normally, the students and the teacher do not use any
books during the
whole process, and the paasurams learnt in this manner are in the memory of the
student for a long time.
With frequent ?thiruvai?, or with frequent recitation of the paasurams in the
temple goshtis , the
paasurams are generally not forgotten. The Santhi CDs are being recorded in the
same
manner as is being taught in Santhai classes.
We hope devotees use the Santhai CDs and learn the pasurams by-heart.
