Learning and chanting rudram.
From the Bhakti List Archives
• April 15, 2000
I fully agree with SrI KalAle, SrI Murali KiDAmbi, SrI MaNi, et. al. on the position regarding learning rudram. I have learned rudram from my teacher here, and do chant it whenever I am called on to chant. The only question I have is regarding a portion called laghunyAsa, which is also traditionally taught at least by non-vaishNava teachers as part of teaching rudra. I believe this is not part of the veda, and has been added by someone over the course of time, just as the latter half of the phalaSruti in SrI vishNu sahasranAmam is not part of the original composition by veda vyAsa but has been added over a period of time. There are some references in the laghu nyAsa associated with SrI rudra praSnam that I believe are not consistent with the SrIvaishNava tradition. I request SrI Kalale, Mani, Murali Kidambi, et al. to clarify the position on chanting the laghu nyAsa. -dAsan kRshNamAcAryan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
