Welcome Sudarshan . Welcome aboard. Guru Somayaji taught us Medha sukta which you can refer (page 62) in Saswara vedamantra and our recording that Prasad Udupa shares. We learnt single line chanting as well in this class. In addition Durgasapthashati -Adhyaya 6 7 and 8 were recited as a group in mute mode along with Guruji.
Guruji mentioned that from shravana maasa (next week )he will start Rudra prashna. Prepare yourself thoroughly by practicing suktas that you have received Guru upadesha already. Rudra is extremely powerful and I can talk from my own experience after attending more than 10 Maharudras in the Bay area.Please mark your calendar for August 3 - Morning 8 -10 am Rigveda Upakarma through Webex is arranged. Please make use of Upakarma festival . We get to do homa and change the sacred thread . Please perform Gayathri japa daily 108 times. ( those who have upanayana and received upadesha from your father/Guru )
QnA session :
---------------
How to chant Durgasapthashati during Navarathri ?
GuruVaani : Please go by charithra. Prathama charithra to be recited on first day of Navarathri . Madhyama charithra( adhyaya #2 3 and 4) on second day. Please start Uttama charithra ( adyaya # 5-13) from 3rd day onwards.If one extra adhyaya remains please cover on the last day of Navarathri . Kavacha, Keelaka Argyala stothra is not applicable to cover for Navarathri days but if you want to recite on daily basis , please include them in your parayana for your daily life. Vijayaka recite Durga Kavacha daily. For parayana purpose , All adhyayas including Kavacha Keelaka and Argyala stothras can be completed in 1 hr and 10 minutes . Prasad Udupa chants all 13 adhyayas every Friday.For our own convenience if you want to split and chant 3 days a week , Split it as mentioned above.Shastra is there for our convenience . Minimum lighting a Deepa at home and do namaskara is also ok . If you can spare 10 minutes or 20 minutes or 1 hr , please go ahead and plan your parayanas accordingly.Chandika homa to be performed for combining Tuesday and Thursday group ( interested ones ofcourse) at Guru's place when Pandemic outbreak eases up.Interesting fact : Guru Somayaji's Guru advised Guru to keep the sankalpa and chant 108 days. Our Guru went to Kalady and completed 108 days and guess what , The sankalpa that he kept was fulfilled. This shows that if we show shradhe and Bhakti towards daily parayaNa, all your desires will get fulfilled. There is no word called "Madi" in Sanskrit and hence usage of such word is banned for today. Its a Kananda word which came through sampradaya in few families and weightage is less for such mooda nambike.Daily morning , when we take bath we feel good. Hence its advisible to wear fresh cloth daily ( to keep our outer appearance fresh and clean ) to work and improve on cleaning the inner self to remove ignorance/error which comes through birth. Hence chant this Devi Sapthashati which is from Markandeya Purana . Example from daily social life today : Steve jobs invented iphone for the society and we need to take all good things from iphone for daily usage and not get addicted ( Ignore the negatives that comes with it ). Consider that such big invention happened for the betterment of mankind.At the same time, Avoid playing video games, Whatsapp and Facebook for hours and hours which will take away your energy.Please spend some time and prepare for next week with Saswara vedamantra book . Soundharya lahari one shloka per class will be taught from next week. Total 60 days sufficient to learn all Shlokas of Soundharya lahari , Kannada copy will be made available in this group.Exciting days of learning ahead and thanks to our Guruji for his efforts to train all of us. Such Guru and teachings are our honor and privilege.
