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.

WHAT IS THE PACE OF VEDIC RECITATION TO BE FOLLOWED FOR VARIOUS PURPOSES?

According to Vedanga Siksha, fast-paced veda mantra chanting is recommended for self-practice, medium-paced for vedic rituals and veda parayanam and slow-paced  for vedic teaching to students.

अभ्यासार्थे द्रुतां वृत्तिं प्रयोगार्थे तु मध्यमाम् ।
शिष्याणामुपदेशार्थे कुर्याद् वृत्तिं विलम्बिताम् ॥

WHETHER PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS CAN BE PLAYED AS ACCOMPANIMENT TO VEDA CHANTING?

Vedic Chanting has to be done orally  only by competent persons. According to tradition, no percussion instrument or any other musical instrument is allowed as accompaniment to Vedic chanting.
