Not open for further replies.
i am senior citizen and put up in Chennai. I am also for the look out for the veda classes.
Anyone can help.
 
You can play a CD and kindly keep the book on hand and follow it up initially.
Rudram Chamakam etc needs special training; because accent has to be very
clear and notes have to be strictly followed wherever required.

CDs are available in Giri Trading Co Mylapore and one can a book and CD together.
Play it slowly and follow it for a couple of days and one can get conversed very easily.

Dedicated to teaching Vedas

SERVICE Senior citizens benefit from Sarma Sastrigal's commitment.

Dedicated to teaching Vedas - The Hindu

Much is said about preserving the Vedas and Patasalas are started to initiate children into learning the same. It is a service that the teachers do with dedication. There are people who are making quiet contribution in this field. One such person is Sarma Sastrigal, who teaches Vedas to senior citizens on Sunday evenings. The group of a dozen learners assemble in his modest flat in West Mambalam and the house reverberates with their chanting.

One of the learners, a retired Government officer, said that Sarma Sastrigal taught the Vedas with phonetic exactitude uncorrupted by any interpolation. This is the way, he added, Vedas have been preserved from time immemorial in our country. Sarma Sastrigal, a performing priest in Chennai, said it was a portion from the Aruna Prasna from Yajur Veda, a chapter containing 133 paragraphs known as Surya Namaskar that he was teaching them at the moment. In a brief chat he highlighted the essence of teaching.

Are there rules to be followed in the recitation?

“Yes. Certain regulations and aspects known as varna, swara, and maatra must be observed,” said Sastrigal. “Impure intonation or wrong accent just cannot be brooked,” he emphasised

Can Vedas be learnt using cassettes or CDs?

Sastrigal ruled out learning through CDs. “Out of misplaced enthusiasm many try to learn Vedas by listening to recorded devices. Nothing can be more injurious. The learning of Vedas should be only from a guru. Mechanical devices cannot correct mistakes that one is sure to make initially without being even aware, and these will then become permanent.

Intonation and diction have deep meaning and even deeper vibratory effects, and should not be treated lightly,” he said.

Sastrigal is indeed doing yeoman service by fulfilling the desire of senior citizens, who in their twilight years wish to get acquainted with a precious slice of our heritage. He teaches young beginners too and can be reached at 94443 80973.
 
While it is ideal and apt to learn Vedic chanting from a learned guru, when there is no guru available , there is nothing wrong in using recorded CD to learn chanting the Veda mantras.One should take care to see whether the rendition is done by a vedic scholar and recording is of good quality.If it is Sri Rudram ,take one anuvaga at a time and listen a number of times and repeat word by word five to six times and even more till we get the same swara,matra and pronunciation as the scholars rendition.There are 11 anuvagas in Sri Rudram, and to learn by heart in a correct of chanting all the 11 anuvagas, it may take about a year or so depending on the seriousness and involvement of the learner.While learning a new anuvaga, the previous anuvaga should be repeated to get continuity.

Sanskrit Version


AYUSHYA SUKTAM
आयुष्यसूक्तम्
यो ब्रह्मा ब्रह्मण उज्जहार प्राणैः शिरः कृत्तिवासाः पिनाकी। ईशानो देवः स न आयुर्दधातु तस्मै जुहोमि हविषा घृतेन ॥१॥

विभ्राजमानः सरिरस्यमध्याद्रोचमानो घर्मरुचिर्य आगात्। स मृत्युपाशानपनुद्य घोरानिहायुषेणो घृतमत्तु देवः ॥२॥

ब्रह्मज्योतिर्ब्रह्मपत्नीषु गर्भं यमादधात् पुरुरूपं जयन्तम्। सुवर्णरंभग्रहमर्कमर्च्यं तमायुषे वर्धयामो घृतेन ॥३॥
श्रियं लक्ष्मीमौबलामंबिकां गां षष्टीं च यामिन्द्रसेनेत्युदाहुः। तां विद्यां ब्रह्मयोनिं सरूपामिहायुषे तर्पयामो घृतेन ॥४॥

दाक्षायण्यः सर्वयोन्यः स योन्यः सहस्रशो विश्वरूपा विरूपाः । ससूनवः सपतयः सयूथ्या आयुषेणो घृतमिदं जुषन्ताम् ॥५॥

दिव्या गणा बहुरूपाः पुराणा आयुश्छिदो नः प्रमथ्नन्तु वीरान्। तेभ्यो जुहोमि बहुधा घृतेन मा नः प्रजां रीरिषो मोत वीरान्॥६॥

एकः पुरस्तात् य इदं बभूव यतो बभूव भुवनस्य गोपाः। यमप्येति भुवनं सांपराये स नो हविर्घृतमिहायुषेत्तु देवः ॥७॥

वसून् रुद्रानादित्यान् मरुतोऽथ साध्यान् ऋभून् यक्षान् गन्धर्वांश्च पितॄंश्च विश्वान्। भृगून् सर्पांश्चाङ्गिरसोऽथ सर्वान् घृतं हुत्वा स्वायुष्या महयाम शश्वत्॥८॥
विष्णो त्वं नो अन्तमश्शर्मयच्छसहन्त्य । प्रतेधारा मधुश्च्युत उथ्सं दुह्रते अक्षितम्॥
ऊँ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः

Sir, There are some mantras chanted before taking food, like Chapter 15 of Gita. There is one more which reads as under :

" ஹரிர் தாதா ஹரிர் போக்தா ஹரிரன்னம் ப்ரஜாபதி:!
ஹரி : சர்வசரீரஸ்தோ புங்க்தே போஜயதே ஹரி: !!

Where do we find this one ? Can anyone help ? Thanks.

I have no idea from which text this shloka is from but it is generally chanted before food..I have pasted the romanized and Sanskrit version below for the benefit of those who cant read Tamil.

हर्रि: सर्व शरीरस्थो भोक्ते भुज्यते हरी: ||
Harir Data Harir Bhokta Harirannam Prajapati |

[h=3][/h]‎There are CDs available in the market. While playing the CD, one can refer
to the book, so as to follow the correct accent and pronunciation.



One can listen to Rudram, Chamakam, Purusha Suktam, Sri Suktam, etc.
can also be free downloaded. You may have to find out the site for it.
