Additional Information :
**************************
1. Rg Veda Upaakarma is difficult to get help with . Hence I am recording
Rg Veda Upaakarmaa by oneof the most eminent Bruhaspathys in India
in one or Two DVDs/VCDs and have requested a friend of mine to hand carry it
with him , when he reurns here on Aug 13, 2006 from India .It may be late for
this
year's Rg upaakarma but you can use comfortably the 42nd e-book , which is
dedicated to
HH SrI Injimettu Azhagiya Singar .
We will try to get a dozen copies from India and they will be made available
on a first come , first served basis . We will request a small contribution from
you to defray the expenses of Video production and SambhAvanai for the GhanapAdi
Bruhaspathy Swamy , who is sharing his scholarship . Please let me know for
joining
the queue .
2. Saama Veda Upaakarmaa is from the free handout by Sri Ahobila Matam as
a part of the supplement to Sri Nrusimha Priyaa . Please subscribe to the Tamil
or English Versions of Sri Nrusimha Priya for regular Monthly issues and special
supplements like this .
The TarpaNams in Saama Vedam for the Rishis are many . It is no accident since
we owe a lot to the Rishis ( mantra dhrushtAs) . Every Veda Mantram has a Rishi
,
Chandas and Devathaa . The Rishis and some times their wives ( Agasthyaa and
Lobhamudhra for instance ) have the Mantrams that were revealed to them through
their Tapas . I will post a special article about these Rishis , RishiNees and
coment on
selected Veda Manthrams associated with them . It is only appropraite that each
Vedic Upaakarmaa salutes them and try to please them with the TarpaNams .
These TarpaNams in Yajur Vedam are shorter and longer in Saama Vedam ,
which GeethAchAryan identified with ( VEdAnaam Saama VEdhOsmi ).
The Saama Veda Upaakarma e-book is dedicated to HH DevanArviLAgam
Azhagiya Singar , adiyEn's SamAsrayaNa AchAryan .
3. Yajur Veda Upaakarmaa book has subsections on the significance of
Vedams and Upanishads in our Vedic sampradhAyam and the importance of
Upaakarmam beyond the changing of sacred threads . Bhagavaan Yoga Hayagrivan's
image ( Veda Purushan's image from Thiruvaheendhrapuram given to Swamy Desikan
by Garudan on OushadhAdhri hills) is housed here .
The Yajur Upaakarmaa e-book ( the 44th e-book) is dedicated to HH Mukkur
Azhagiya Singar , who built the South Raaja Gopuram at Srirangam .
May Lord Hayagrivan bless You all and encourage you to have Your SamaasrayaNams
and SaraNAgathy ( Aathma VivAham) from AchArya Saarvabhoumaas this year ! It is
never
too early to place the Aathmaa at the sacred feet of the dhivya Dampathis with
the help
of the Gadakars (AchAryAs) , who are waiting to perform these important
VivAhams !
