SRI RADHA AND SRI GODA

SrI RAdhA is MahAlakshmI in the form of NIlA DevI. She is worshipped with intense prema bhakti bhAva by AzhvArs and AndAl (GodA) as Nappinnai. She is also fondly adored as Pinnai. Pinnai MaNAlan is verily RAdhA Vallabha.

Along with chanting of TiruppAvai , chanting of SrI RAdhA KrupA katAksha Stava helps one to gain the bliss of Krishna katAksha and His divine association.

 SrIgovindapriyAm rAjnIm vrndAvana manoharIm ।

KrpAsvarUpiNIm divyAM rAdhA devIm namAmyaham ॥

I offer my respectful obeisance to the Goddess Sri Radha Devi, Sri Krishna’s beloved Queen, the source of the beauty of Brindavan, who is auspicious and is of the form of mercy.

 SrIrAdhikAkrpApAtrAm vishNucittasutAm sudhAm ।

SrIkrshNapremamagnAm tAm godA devIm namAmyaham ॥

 

I offer my respectful obeisances to SrI Goda DevI (AndAl) who is blessed by SrI RAdhA DevI (in the form of NIla DevI), the nectar like daughter of SrI Vishnu citta (PeriyAzhvAr), immersed in Sri Krishna Prema Bhakti.

SRI RADHASHTAMI Celebrations - 14 September 2021 - Tuesday

Sri  Radha is none other than Sri Mahalakshmi, who out of great compassion, facilitates the individual Self to get the divine grace of the Supreme Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the glorious Yogesvara. According to the Scriptures, the best way to approach Sri Krishna is through first obtaining the grace of Sri Radha. Even a grave sinner gets redemption through her ceaseless divine grace and becomes purified to serve the lotus feet of Sri Radhakrishna. Let us not miss this opportunity to offer our humble and sincere prayers to the ever fresh and fragrant queen of Brindavan. On this most auspicious Radhashtami  day, may Sri Radha shower her blessings on all.

VEDIC CANON REGARDING DAKSHINA WHILE CONDUCTING DOMESTIC VEDIC RITUALS

While giving Dakshina to the Brihaspati, one has to accept whatever is given as dakshina without demanding. At the same time, the person who conducts the Vedic ritual should necessarily honor the Brihaspati based on his financial background. The same rule may be applied for those participating in the Sraddha (श्राद्ध) . We may infer that the principle of the financial capability of the Yajamana (यजमान) in terms of “यथा शक्ति “ applies in all such situations.
To substantiate this we may refer to Taittiriyaranyakam 1-132 which deals with the subject matter of giving Guru Dakshina to the Guru who has taught the Vedas in the Forest with the following four options :-
dhenu: dakshiNA --- Cow as Dakshina
kamsam vAsa: ca kshaumam --- Bronze Vessel with White Silk Vastram
anyat vA Suklam --- White cotton Vastram
yathA Sakti vA --- Whatever one can afford to give based on his capacity
Thus the first option is to give a cow as Guru Dakshina.
If this is not possible as a second option he may give Bronze Vessel with White Silk Vastram as Guru Dakshina.
If this is not possible as a third option he may give a white cotton Vastram as Guru Dakshina.
If this is also not possible as the forth and final option he may give whatever he can based on his capability as Guru dakshina.

WHETHER VEDA MANTRAS CAN BE SET TO MUSIC AND SUNG?

Vedic Mantra Chanting has to be done orally only by competent persons who have undergone the studies from the Vedacharyas. According to tradition, the Veda mantras have to be duly chanted in line with the Varna and Svara . Thus Akshara suddhi (proper pronunciation of letters), Svara suddhi (proper usage of Svaras) along with proper Matra (metrical unit of time) are required. The Vedic heritage has to be duly protected and nourished. Improper rendition of the Veda Mantras reduces the life span and leads to diesease. Hence it is important to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Veda Mantras passed on from the ancient great Rishis.

GO MATA (SACRED COW) (गोमाता) ENJOYS LISTENING TO SUKLA YAJUR VEDA CHANTING

It is an amazing thing to watch the sacred cow  (aptly named Surabhi)  sitting in the midst of the Vidyarthis of the Sukla Yajurveda Pathasala at   Maheshmal, Aurangabad. It is really touching to see the matchless devotion of the Veda Students.  It demonstrates the greatness of the Vedacharya who is teaching the nuances of Vedic recitation to the young students.  The Veda students are chanting and also showing the hasta vinyasa in terms of movement of the hand according to the Veda Svaras. It is an awesome visual delight to watch the (गोमाता)  moving its head, ears and tail in a rhythmic pattern and appreciating the Vedic chanting.  We feel as if the divine Veda Mata (वेदमाता) herself is present in the form of (गोमाता)   to bless all to pursue Vedic studies. It is an ecstatic experience which takes us to a different world altogether . It symbolizes the divine presence of Sri Radha and Krishna who manifest in the form of Veda Varnasvaras.

 जय जय श्रीराधे
