Today we learnt Medha Sukta. Recording of split line mantra for Surga Sukta will be sent by Guruji. Next class is on Dec 1 .
Guruji encourages everyone to ask questions . Today , Sneha Prasad asked Importance of Medha and Durga Sukta.
Answer : Mantras are all collected in one place and it is called Samhite.
Sukta means Important communications from those Samhite .
Here , Nature ( Prakruti ) is worshipped. As you all know, Vedas are very ancient came from Rishis with their meditative power. Unlike modern day religions , we do not chant mantras for specific God. Infact word "God" itself is foreign and it is not mentioned in Vedas. Veda Mantras are our PramaaNa ( Foundation ) on which human life is built to conduct ourselves in the best way possible in the outside world.
Jataveda means Agni. First word of first line mantra in Durga Sukta. Panchabhootas ( 5 Elements- Agni Vaayu ,Aapa, Akasha, Bhoomi ) are our source for worship. While chanting Durga Sukta, Agni is worshipped. In Medha sukta , we hear Saraswathi which means Saaraswatha loka ( meaning Vidhye is the reference as symbolically Saraswati is the image). Usually when Upanayana is conducted for boys, Medha Sukta is the first one taught to them. In Gurukula, Guruji used to chant 11 times Medha Suktas early in the morning to make sure the alertness to grasp other mantras that gets generated within us. Thats the power of chanting mantras. Thats why we have children whose mind is not so much cluttered like adults, will be able to grasp and chant with accurate grammer. Medhassu meaning our learning and grasping ability within us. That gets alerted when we chant Medha Suktas.
Mahabharata stories does not come in Vedas. It is very ancient than MahaBharata. Those are epics of Bharata. Krishna meaning black , Arjuna meaning white.
There are puranas which are built over a period of time, that is also not present in Vedas and it is different. Again , Vedas are the foundation and base of Sanatana ( Eternal ) Dharma. Thanks for the quesion Sneha Prasad.
Take care until next time

Welcome everyone to our third class of Ganesha Atharva Shreesha
As communicated, Recording of Atharvashreesha which is part of Atharvanaveda /Ganapati Upanishad will be sent by Guruji . Please keep practicing twice a week. Those who have not sent recording which is discussed on Sep 29. Please do so in the following days. This is just to check where we are in terms of learning, hence unicast Guruji with your recording. Please do not send it here in the group.
Question by Sneha - Pls talk about Chandassu in Mantras
Chandassu meaning it is niyama ( descipline ) to chant Mnatras in a particular way making sure we chant as per the grammer that only Guruji knows. Ex : AlpapraaNa , Mahapraana of each Akshara ( letters of Sanskrit ) should not get hurt when prononced in a cluster ( vaakya ) ensuring grammer is maintained and pronounciation of each akshara properly. It has to match Guruji's recording be it Akshara, Shruti, Swara , Raaga and the style of chanting to keep it consistant with the manner in which mantras are taught. There are many Chandassu for ex : Gayathri Chandassu has 24 aksharas , Same way we have Trishtup Chandassu with 28 aksharas , Anushtup chandassu consisting of 32 Akhsaras. There are many more chandasu as well . This is good enough example. When children are learning, Guruji likes it because of multiple reasons. 1. Their mind is more clear ( Do not have worldly problem in their head - Samsaara Tapatreya we call in Kannada ) 2. Mistakes are less when they chant 3. It matches everything what chandassu as a subject talks about. It is so clear from four of Guruji's students in our class reason is purely their grasping power to absorb the line and repeat in such a clear manner. Make no mistake, We are all here as a student to learn hence please do not mind as many of us as adults did not learn on time when we were 7 yrs old like earlier Gurukula system. We starting chasing Maccalay Education System ( not to blame , I am just quoting to bring the awareness of earlier Gurukula System to identify ourselves with the cosmos rather than identifying with a particular subject expert . Today during DeepavaLi, you can see highly learned scholars chant mantras in white house for many years - This is called Global Identity /Identification with entire cosmos).
We can draw analogy for chandassu here. Just imagine you have a jar full of diamonds which is scattered all over living room . It has value but it is not organized , does not look good at all. Try to collect everything and take a string(thread) to put them together. It becomes maala which you can wear on neck or hands or on Shirassu . Each diamond now looks very clean and it looks great and feels great for that person. Isn't it ? Chandassu in Mantras are exactly like that, we are bringing aksharas together a string and we learn to chant it as per upadesha (guidance and advice ) of Guruji. This is chanted for Prakruti /or for a nirguna niraakra paramathma. When it is learnt to practice and chanted perfectly Guruji likes it. Most importantly, we feel more good about ourselves trying to get to perfection in our journey of life. Automatically, Brahma tejas will start glowing on the face. Mind becomes calmer and wordly issues do not bother us so to speak. In this regard, Guruji selected few senior students ( meaning young students with tremendous grasping power and pronounciation skills ( Sarasvati putras ) to train with special mantras to make them ready for future. They are in for much advance trainings as we go along. Many mantras cannot be taught to the students of USA, reason is they have to live in those Gurukula atmosphere , have to have daily experience in those environment . Just see how cat holds kitten in its teeth and carry its baby. We get to see this in India . Kitten won't cry , neither it gets hurt. Who taught cat to hold its baby in such a fashion and run? That is an art which comes from birth. Many things are from birth especially grasping power. Chandassu will ensure that mantras are handled in a most perfect manner as per the upadesha of Guru. This is the reason they say Manatras should not be learnt without a Guru. All corrections, grammer and chandassu is a part of chanting process. Highly learned Guruji like Somayaji can easily find out where is the mistake, what is the mistake in our chanting. Hence if you are serious please do practice the recording. Good question Sneha Prasad. Pls continue to ask questions everyone. Please do not hesitate. Whatever doubts we all have . I know for the fact that Guruji has cleated all our doubts from 8-9 yrs of my association . This much I can tell you from my experience. Wish you all very happy Navarathri . Please chant Lalita Sahasranama all 10 days till Dashami. Light Deepa everyday, Sit on the floor. With utmost Bhakti and Shradde, you chant LalitaSahasranama. Do not expect phala. It will happen when the time is right for you.
Thanks for reading. Take care until next time.

We started this Sahasranama chanting from Feb 2020 and thanks to everyone for joining in such a big number to keep your consistent efforts to protect and preserve our customs as a seeker of truth.
Veda Brahma Vidwan Dashagranti Shri Krishnamurthy ji blessed our Septermber 2021 satsangha with his gracious presence and his pravachana ( Overview - Divine talks on scriptures ).
Pundit Shri Krishnamurthy is an expert and senior to Pundit Shri Shashidhara Somayaji , both studied in same school. He is an expert scholar in Rigveda and Jyotishya Shastra. Guru for both of them is Shri . Shankara Bhat and his Guru was Shri . Lakshmi Narayan Bhat who is an expert in chanting complete Rigveda ( 10553 Mantras ) without books . Shri Krishnamurthy Bhat is on par with his Guru's Guru in his learning in this lifetime with the blessings of his Guru. He went to Kashi to get scholorly level called Vidwan Acharya recognition and currently live in Hasana, Karnataka with his family. Acharya is someone who has the desire to transfer the knowledge to their next generation. Rigveda's 10 samhita yaaga is very special yaaga and he participates as Ghanapaati for the welfare of the mankind.
It is our honor and privilege to have such a scholar amongst us today to shower his knowledge for part time seekers like us.
Shri . Krishnamurthy chanted few matras , Krama paatah ( next level /Master level of chanting Veda mantras ) and shanti mantra before starting his pravachana.
Shri Krishnamurthy started his pravachana by remembering friendship of Shri Shashidhara Somayaji in their Gurukula. Many in Bharata today says there is no time to perform dharmic rituals or to learn Shlokas/Sahasranamas/Veda Mantras to perform Pooje, Japa tapa as recommended in Shastra to achieve higher level of consciousness but he was glad that people in USA took the Interest to learn at least Sahasranamas to begin with. He expressed his happiness about our group in general who is keen to listen to katha sharavana ( Listen to stories ) and/or to chant Sahsranamas of Vishnu and Lalita. They say if we get out of Bharata, we carry our culture with it.
To realize why we have come to this earth in the first place becomes very important. To seek the ultimate mati( Buddi filled with Viveka) to gain vidhye(knowledge) through Daiva Bhakti.
Ultimate shakti or the power is defined as God through 33 crore devatas. Vedas are the root to determine the existance of such a power called Divine/Bhagavan.
Ancient Poet says Dharme Preetim Sanmatim Daivabhaktim ( To grant attraction and love for Dharma , We do not know why we are born in certain family to our parents in a particular city or village or a country as a boy or a girl especially in a certain tithi as per Hindu calendar . We never ask these questions as we do not have answers even in science or Shastras which is 100% convincing. Hence it becomes Imperative to seek the truth within .
There are some born and die immediately but we lived on ....Based on our Poorva Janma ( 7 janmas ) we come to inference that due to those pending sadhana and due to our own Karma we are born again in this human being form. Dharma is not equivalent to English word " Religion " but it is a way of life to simply put, to live life of meaning and significance. Religion is not Hindu , Christian or Islam. Dharma in Sanskrit has very elaborate way of description about our own functioning on this Earth as a human being.
Veda says Matru Devo Bhava at first , Pitru Devo Bhava as second , Acharya Devo Bhava and Atithi devo bhava which needs to be practiced on a daily basis without questioning it. These are the Karmas which we need to do religiously every single day as nithya karmas.
Satsangatam Dehi Bhaktim cha Muktim.
2. Sanmatim - Bless us with Intellect to comprehend and digest divine thoughts. There are 3 ways we can express it. 1. Buddimaan , 2. Matimaan 3. Dheemaan. Matimaan is one who reject the bad and accepts what is only good for himself and others around him.
3. Daivabhaktim - Higher power do exist whom we have kept as KulaDevata/Ishtadevata in our heart. We are giving him/her a swaroopa ( aakara for a picture ).
33 crore Devatas are figured out from Smruti( Veda ) and Puranas. Moola (Root for our Dharma) are hidden in Vedas.
Rigveda , Yajurveda, SamaVeda , Atharva Vedas are 4 vedas which we refer as Chaturvedas. These Vedas cannot be captured in books as this is huge and anantha ( There is no limit and cannot be captured in books at all ) . Small Story - Bruhaspati Devacharya was Rushi muni and had the knowledge of all 6 shastras but one day Muni realized that without doing Vedadhyayana, his life is not going to be complete hence he asked Indra to give him 100 yrs to study Vedas. He has highest memory power and studies Vedas for 100 yrs. If he just listen to Vedas once he will not forget as everything used to get stored in his memory rightaway. He kept on studying Vedas for 100 yrs but he could not complete it. He goes again to Indra for 100 yrs of life, again he could not complete even though he studies Veda daily in second term of 100 yrs. Another term he gets it , totally 300 yrs he studies but could not complete Vedas in full. 4th time when he went to Indra , Indra shows him a mountain and takes 3 handful of mud and says this is how much Vedas he has studies in 300 yrs of life span . This gives perspective of how much we have to learn and digest before we stop taking birth in a circle of life and death ( punarapi Jananam Punarapi Maranam ) .
Then Vedas were properly segregated in parts in Rig Yajur Sama Atharva by Vyaasa muni hence he is called "Veda Vyaasa". He is such a genius person and visionary and great fore thinker.. He knew about future Yugas and human beings born in those Yugas that has logical mind in Evolution hence he further segregates Rigveda into 21 shakes. Just to complete 1 shake out of 21 shake of Rigveda , we need 12 yrs at a minimum. Shakala Bhaskala etc kind of Prabhedas are there . When we chant Pravara and do namaskara to elders and Gurus and Scholars we say out loud Ex : Rigshaka Adhyayi means I have studied or studying that particular shake from a Guru and belonged to such and such Rushi muni Gothra...Our Identification was always with a cosmos ( Brahmanda ) and pravara is the best example to illustrate that fact . This is niyama ( descipline ) before we prostrate and take blessings from Elders /Scholars/Learned Pundits who do Homa Havana and Pooje daily without compromising Nithya Karmas ( Gayathri Anishtana through Sandhyavandane for example ) . So coming back to topic, Out of those 21 shakes there is only one shake by name shaakala shake is remaining in 21st century of Kaliyuga . We can only say ,Other shakes are aged but we do not have rights to say it has become extict.
In Yajurveda, there are 3-4 shakes listed Taittireeya, KaaNva , Maadhyandina , Maatyayini are existing. Similarly , Vedanam Samavedosmi is what Krishna has said in Bhagavadgeete. SamaVeda exists in the form of a song with raaga. Sahasratatvaa Samavedhaha - Samaveda had more than 1001 shakes but today, only 3-4 ( Gowthami, Ramayani,Dainini) are existing through Guru - Shishya Parampare.
Atharva Veda had 9 shakes out of which Shavanaka shake is the only one which is existing in 21st century of Kaliyuga. This tells clearly how much we have lost from time immemorial due to lack of learning abilities in us. Vedas are apourusheya which means it is not written scripted and narrated by a purusha or group of people. Rushayaha mantra Drushtaraha - All these Rushis are not kartrus of Vedas as they have not written. They are mantra Drutaru which means they have done tapassu for thousands of years , these divine thoughts has come to their thoughts hence they uttered these mantras which is passed from generation to generation as Veda VaaNi.( VaaNi means sound which is obsorbed in Dhyaana state to utter it to betterment of all jeevas ) .
See the beauty here : Our learning started from ಅ ಇ ಉ . Rigveda starts from AgnimeeLe Purohitam ( starts from ಆ kaara ). Rigveda's one shake consisting of 10553 mantras ends with ಇ kaara - samasathi - E kaara ). Yajurveda starts with Ishe ( ಇ kaara and ends with ಉ kaara in Bandhuh). 3rd one is sama veda which is in song form ( those who give ahuti to Devastas to invite are called Hotah . Once they come , Samavedi does daana with his plaeasing gaana which has ಅ ಇ ಉ aksharas in song form . Devata gets pleased to bless the Invitee ).
Rigveda has Ayurveda as Upaveda. Yajurveda has Dhanurveda as Upaveda. Samaveda has GandharvaVeda ( Shastreeya Sangeeta ) as Upaveda. Atharvaveda has Stapativeda ( ex : Vaastu) as its Upaveda. These are wealth of Knowledge comes from Vedas using which we can worship Devatas. One cannot take book and start reading Vedas as it becomes totally ashudda ( if we do not keep the swaras( Udaatta Anudaatta, Swarita grammer in alignment as guided by Guru ) intact and totally conveys a wrong or different meaning for the sentence. First step is to lean how to chant with accuracy ). One small story to go with this - Veda Mantras has such a power , once rakshasa wanted to kill Indra. He got the yajna done through Rushis to have a new boy to be born . Devatas immediately went to Brahmaa to protect Indra. Saraswati maate just gives wrong swara to Rushi...then mantra pronounciation altered. Meaning became "Instead of killing Indra, let the new boy who is coming to this earth gets killed by Indra " It became.
Hence it is Important to recognize which letter comes from tongue, those comes from epiglottis and nabhi ( from the stomach ).Padachedda is very important as well Ex : Tatsaa space Viturvarenyam is wrong. Tatu Savituhu is padacheda is correct ( contact the Guru who gave Upadesha ). Vedadhyayana and anushtana is difficult subject why because Mantraadeenantu Daivatam which means Devatas will listen and surrender to Veda Mantras. Shloka Mantras, Beeja Mantras Mananaat mantra ityaahuhu Which means those who are chanting any sahasranamas , Beejakshara Mantras or Shloka mantras are all ok to chant but chanting perfectly will help us get blessings from Divine .
Vishnu Sahasranama , Lalita Sahasranama and Stothra Sahithya are available to us for our daily chanting. Every single minute, Our shareera(body) and buddhi ( Mind) keeps doing paapa karmas. We do Sandhyavandane in Sandhyaa kaala ( When night is vanishing and day is starting , when morning is going and noon is coming, when evening is going and night is coming. When Night converges with morning again ) , we do sandhyavandane to eliminate those paapas which was done in a day by doing trikaala sandhyavandane. Shastra means niyama ( Rules and Regulation ) to be followed to lead a life of a meaning and significance. What we have to do when we wake up , In a typical day what can be done at what hour of the day is called Shastra. Human beings have to conduct in certain way in certain time of the day as we have a descretionary mind. Ex : When we are driving vehicle , there is a descipline to be followed on the road. Jantoonam nara janma Durlabham - Manushya Janma is very rare. Ahara Bhaya Maithuna, Nidra is common for all 84 lakh species but human beings stands out as have descretionary mind to develop Viveka in order to earn Jnaana/Wisdom.
In life, Prarabhda Karma is there hence life situations are unavoidable but we have to do our Karmas without fail in order to overcome the bigger damages in order to keep our focus on the journey of life to achieve the purpose . Ex : If we are hungry, food is made at home by our mother/wife but if we do not chew food properly(our own efforts ) , it will serve the purpose of keeping the body and mind fit by supplying nutrition.
Bhagavanta is akhilanda koTi Brahmanda nayaka . We cannot even learn what is there in our town completely where as this entire brahmanda consists of Koti KoTi Brahmandas for which He/she( no gender ) is adhipati. We do not have nowhere to go but Bhagavan. Ex: Mother knows what to give for her son/daughter at a certain time. She also knows what not to give . We need maturity to handle the things else it won't come that easily. Hence Bhagavan is Sarvagna Sarvavyaapaka and knows what to give and how much. If something does not come to us , our efforts Bhakti and Shradde is still lagging , thats all to it. Hence we take shelter of these Sahasranamas with ananya bhakti and shradde , our Janma will be in a state of samadhana( calmness- getting rid of anger and frustrations) , shanti ( Peace of mind) and it becomes sarthaka ( complete fulfillment ). Another meaning of Shanti - Shamyate iti anena iti shantihi means we get parihaara ( solution ) . Just like when we clean the body with water by taking shower everyday, Manas will also be cleaned and purified thoughts will only rule in our mind if we do pooje daily with the help of Sahasranamas. We get shaswatha sukha ( permanent bliss ) ..You might ask how ? basically the desire that we have itself will vanish and we settle for what we have with happiness and contentment.
Pooje , Archane , Shloka , Japa , Dhyaana , Mantra , Tapa everything helps to keep the manas happy and peaceful .

1) We learnt shloka 6 7 8 9 and 10 - Single line proficiency achieved. Need repetition couple of more times.
2) We learnt the meaning ( Bhavartha ) for Shloka 2 and 3 today.
Key highlights : Parabrahma = Purusha+Prakruthi
Purusha in purusha sukta is always referred to Parabrahma ( Gender Independant )
During the times of Veda, all suktas were referred to Parabrahma ( manifestation names came later )
Shrishti (Brahma), Sthiti (Vishnu) and Laya ( Shiva ) are the 3 main GuNas within oneself.
GuNas = Rajas ( 4/13) , Sathva( 7/13) , Tamas( 1/13)
All three are required in Kaliyuga for Grihasta.
Ex : If you make a chapati 13 pieces, 7 of them should be Satva guNa.
Soundarya Lahari is for the Prakruthi or Maye as per my understanding.
This is our best opportunity to learn about Parabrahma jnaana (Avyakta entity whom we call Vishnu, Shiva or Adi Shakti) by asking questions. Feel free to ask questions and use this time to clarify.
Story recollected : Sarpa ( Serpent ) could not function in the world by sacrificing its guNa . Had he hiss at least, it would have survived.
Brahmana is one who go after jnaana of Parabrahma .
Tatsat 🙏
