SrI:
Dear VedAbhimAnis:
70 days from today , Srimath Azhagiya Singar's
SathAbhishEkam will be celebrated at Srirangam
(November 30 , 2006).
This uthsavam will be preceded by Veda PaarAyaNam
by 500 invited Vedic Authorities covering the three Vedams ,
its SaakhAs and in some patterns and combinations
to protect error free methods of Recitation .
These 8 methods ( Prakruthi & Vikruthi)
are known as :
(1) Vaakya Paatam or Samhithaa Paatam
( Recitation of the Veda Mantrams in
a straight sentence . This would lead to
some conjoinment among the words during
the Chanting . This is Vaakya or Samhithaa Paatam .
When the recitation is done word by word without
conjoining , then the method is called Padha Paatam
and it follows Samhithaa Paatam . The breaking of
the sentences into words gives the reciter a thorough
knowledge of each word in a sentence.
(2) Krama Paatam : Here the first word of the sentence is
linked to the second word and next the second word is
linked to the third word etc until the sentence ( mantra)
is completed . The reciter understands not only
the individual words but also the method of combining
words during the recitation and changes in Swaraas
in such a combination . The order is 1-2 , 2-3, 3-4 etc.
(3) Jataa : Here , the order is 1-2-2-1-1-2 ,
2-3-3-2-2-3 ; 3-4-4-3-3-4 etc. In Jataa or " twisted
braids" , two words are repeated forward & Backward.
(4) Sikhaa : here the three words are linked forwards
and backwards.
(5) Rekhaa ( Line) : The next four patterns of recitation (5-8)
involve more compex sequences and needs a Mastery of
high order in handling the Veda MantrAs .
(6) dhwajam ( Flag)
(7) DaNdaa (Stick)
(8) RaTam ( Chariot)
(9) Ghanam : This is a most beautiful & Complex form of
recitation .The order is: 1-2-2-1-1-2-3-321-1-2-3 ,
2-3-3-2-2-3-4-4-3-2-23-4 , 3-4-4-3-3-4-5-5-4-3-3-4-5 .
It takes 8 years after SamhithA ahyayanam to become
a GhanapAti .
Chanted in this style , it will take 450 hours to recite
Rg Vedam .
One of the leaders among Rg Veda GhanapAdis ,
Sri Rangarajan Swamy of KumbakONam will be
joining the Rg Vedam Ghanam reciting group
at the sathAbhishEkam celebrations for Prakrutham
Srimath Azhagiya Singar . There will be other SamhithA
Paatam Rg Vedic reciters there as well .
The Yajur Vedam Ghanam reciting group will be
headed by SrikAryam SaThakOpAcchAr Swamy of
Sri Matam . There will also be Yajur Veda Samhitha ,
Jataa and Maala reciters .
The two of the three Saakhais ( Kouthuma and Jaimini
SaakhAs) will be recited at the SathAbhishEka Uthsavam .
adiyEn is still looking for a Saama VedAdhyAyee , who can recite RaaNAyini
SaakhA . Sri Matam is also looking for these rare Vedic scholars . If you
happen to
have any information on some one , who can recite RaaNAyini Saakha , Please let
adiyEn know so that Sri Matam can invite him. TTD has the recordings of
RaaNAyini
SaakhA but can not throw light on the identity of such an expert .
There will be 500 Vedic Pundits , who will be participating
at the four days of VedAdhyayanam at Srirangam during
Nov 26-29 , 2006. It will be a KallOla KolAhalam . Thrayyantha
Desikan , Sri Malolan and Sri RanganAtha will be immersed in
such a Veda ghOsham .
Please come and join to listen to the Veda ParAyaNam ,
Vidhvath Sathas ( Assembly of Experts) . These Experts
are class mates of Srimath Azhagiya Singar , when they
studied Sri BhAshyam under HH InjimEttu Azhagiya Singar .
They will give upanyAsams on Sri BhAshyam instead of
the VaakyArTams , which takes place in a traditional Vidvath
Sathas .
