SrI:

Dear AasthikAs:

 
Now that the Saama UpAkarmaa dinam is approaching , the Saama UpAkarmA 
sankalpam and PrayOga are needed  . 

BrahmachAris have specific additional observances :(1) wearing Minji ( woven 
dharbha 
pull belt =Minji mEkhalai) ,(2) performance of Morning SamidhAdhAnam concluding 
with 
Agni PrArTanai . 

For now , let us focus on the rest of the UpAkaramaa for  bachelors , 
GruhasthAs and 
vidhurars .

These SEVEN steps include :

1. Lengthy Uthsarjana KarmAnga Deva-Rishi-Pithru tarpaNam(264 tarpaNams)
concluding with 12 Pithru tarpaNams .

2. UpAkarma Aarambham : Puna: PojA, Homam .

3. Yaj~nOpaveetha DharaNam .

4. VedAramabham : Sankalpam .

5. VedArambha Saaman recitals :Gaayathri Manthram , VyAhrudhi Saamans,
    Saama GhAnam with 9 saamans ; Seven Uha SthOthri , Seven rahasya SthOthri .

6. Concluding ManthrAs starting from " Mahan mE vOchO bhargO mE vOcha:
and ending up with " Vrushtirasi vrusccha mE pApmAnam ruthAth sathyamupAgAm".  

Those who have not undergone Saama VedAdhyayanam would only have to 
recite PraNavam  .

7. Conclusion of  VEda UpAkarma after Aachamanam , Saathvika DhyAnam , ThyAgam .

adiyen's efforts to record the Rg, Yajur , Saama vEda UpAkarmaas in India 
will be commencing today . It wont be completed however before Oct 12 ,
( PurattAsi SravaNam ), the avathAra dinam of Thrayyanthu Guru , Swamy
Desikan . 

It will be too late for this year's Saama UpAkarma to make ready the DVDs 
on UpAkarmaa . 

with all these factors in mind , adiyEn approached Ahobila Matam North America 
for permission to use the detailed write up in Sanskrit and Tamil on Saama 
UpAkarma PrayOgam released by Sri Matam during the past SvabhAnu year .

AdiyEn is pleased to let you know that Sriman Rajaji , President of Ahobila
Matam NA will be placing the Saama Veda UpAkarmA PrayOgam in the Ahobila
Matam Web site to help with the performance of the UPAkarma . The web site 
is  http://www.ahobilamutt.org / This help from Ahobila Mutt NA is a kaimkaryam
to the VaishNavite community just as their free distribution of Yaj~nOpaveethams
blessed by Srimath Azhagiya Singar during the occasion of Yajur UpAkarma . 
Our sincere Thanaks are to Sriman Rajaji for his welcome help .  

adiyEn will place the same PDF file in the Sripedia archives and at 
http://www.sadagopan.org  in the anushtAnam section as echo sites
by tomorrow .  

adiyEn will keep you posted  on the progress with the DVD on the PrayOgAs , 
demos for the three UpAkarmAs ( Rg, Yajur and Saama Vedam with a good sampling 
of Ghanam rendering)  periodically . That project is being initiated today at 
KumbakONam with the participation by an authority on SamskArAs there .
There would be need for support form you to cover the SambhAvanA and 
video recording . I will come back on those estimated expenses in a few days.

Sriman Sampath Rengarajan is helping us all with the recording of the UPAkarmAs 
at KumbakONam at his house . Our sincere Thanks are to him .

NamO Veda PurushAya,
V.Sadagopan
