SAma Vedi Avani Avitta Manthras 2014 (29-8-2014)

Sama Veda Upakarma Prayoga for the year 2014

(29-8-2014)

(Compiled by P.R.Ramachander)

In the case of Sama Veda, The upa Karma prayogam is very extensive and differs very much from the Upakarma prayoga of Rig and Yajur Vedis.They always do it in Hastha Nakshtra of the Kanya Masa. It essentially consists of ten steps in the following order

1.Panchagavya sammelanam

2.Snana Mahasankalpam

3.Brahmayagnam

4.Punyaham

5.Rishipooja(Uthsarjan Karma)

6.Deva,rishi, Pithru Tharpanam (264+12)

7.Ghata Poojai

8.Yagnopaveethadhaaranam

9.Vedarambam

10.Kankanadharanam

Naturally these have to be done with the instruction of a Guru but in modern times when people are scattered all over the world and also because well learned Sama Vedi Purohithas are very scarce, many people are forced to do it in their home depending on some handouts. Since most of the above steps are lengthy and involve proper chanting of Sama Veda Mantras,they do only three steps of the above 10. They are

1.Snana maha Sankalpam,

2,Brahma Yagnam

3.Yagnopaveetha dharanam

English is a very inadequate language to type out Sanskrit manthras. But I have made an effort to present the needed mantras for the above steps for the year 2087 because I feel that our youngsters are more at home in English rather than in their mother toungue or Sanskrit. Since I am not a Sama Vedin I depend for the mantras on Book published by C.Sankara TRama Sastri(1956) Sama Veda Upakrama prayoga published by Sri Balamanorama press, Madras. I have also got my typing read through and to certain extent edited by Sri.P.A.Anantharaman.I am grateful to him,

Maha Samkalpam

a.Aachamanam, wear Pavithram.

Rig Vedi Avani Avitta Manthras 2014 (7-9-2014)

Rig Vedi Avani Avittam for the year 2014-II-(7-9-2014)*

(This year Avani avittam for Rig vedis comes is on 10-8-2014 according to most Panchangas. But on 10/8/2014, it is Kadaka Masa , Sravana Nakshatra but according to Sastras a Rig Vedi has to perform Upakarma o in the month of Sravana in the sravana Nakshatra . This comes on 7/9/2014. So some acharyas are saying that Rig Vedis should perform Upakarma on 7/9/2014 I have given the monthras separately as “Rig Vedi Avani avittam for the year 2014-II. Without exception all Acharyas are saying we have to follow our family practice . So please consult Your Guru as to when you should perform Avani avittam and then do it.)

Avani Avittam 20-8-2014(Tueesday )

(Compiled by P.R.Ramachander)

(For the past 14 years , I have been putting the for the rig Vedis, the same collection of Manthras like Yajur vedis. Being a Yajur vedi , I have seen the rig Vedis also doing the same rituals as Yajur Vedis. A learned Gentleman from Madras viz Sri Mani Narayan wrote to me that the manthras , I was giving was wrong and the correct manthras are available in a book by Seri L.Anantha Narayana Sastri and published by R.S.Vadhyar, Palakkad. Lat year I got the book, To my surprise I found all the rituals before Mahasankalpa were Pujas and Homas, which cannot be performed without the help of the learned priest. They are

1,Vighneswara Pooja

2.Sankalpa Punyahavachanam

3.Aghni Mukham

4.Veda Vyasa Pooja

5.Pradhana AAjyaa hoothaya

6,Pradhana Charu homa

7.Uthsarjanarthe Veda Aarambh

8.Home sesha

The Kanda Rishi Tharpanam of the Yajur Vedis is to be replaced by A very elaborate Deva –Rishi –Tharpanam , which is again is followed by Gayathri Homa and Veda Aramba, Since I was trying to give Manthras for people who cannot get help of Vadhyars , I am giving below, Yajnopavitha Dharana Manthra, Mahasankalpam and Deva Rishi Pithru Tharpanam , followed by Brahma Yagna and the Gayathri japa manthras for the next day. I am an ignoramus and so if I have committed any errors, please pardon me. My thanks for several of my friends who responded for my request for clarification on Rig Vedi Upakarmam)

*Trayodasi is up to 2.52 PM on 7^th September and afterwards Chathrdasyam , SRavana Nakshatra is only up to 9.20 AM.For Rig Vedis Sravana Nakshatra is very important . So the Upakarma should be done before 9.20 AM IST

Summary meaning:Here again apart from locating oneself with reference to time , one locates himself with reference to place also.We are supposed to live in Jambu Dweepa, Bharatha Kanda which is south of the great mountain Maha meru.Then again this Bhasratha Kanda is blessed with many holy rivers and holy places.Then prayer is done to God to pardon sins committed by word, thought and deed, because this was done inspite of his great grace which made us be born as human beings after several wheels of birth.Also the sins performed during several ages in life is highlighted.Some of the sins specifically mentioned are those done while earning money without conscience, giving money to improper people, actions which did not suit the caste we are born in, sins due to non performance of actions which ought to have been done and so on. We pray God and tell him that we would take bath in holy pure water and then start the veda parayanas which is our duty as Brahmin.

3.Yagnopa veetha dharana manthra

After bath again change poonal by reciting manthra as given in s.No.1.Please note that now a days very rarely people take bath after mahaa sankalpam but do prokshana snanam i.e bath by sprinkling of water on the head.
