Instead, you may simply recite the ashTAkshara mahAmantra, and some Alvar paasurams, should you know them: 1) abhiSeka - periyaazvhaar neeraattam 2) dhUpa - "parivadhil eesanai paadi" from thiruvaaymozhi 3) dIpa - the first paasuram of each of the thiruvandhaadhis "vaiyam thagaLiyaa" by poygai aazhvaar "anbE thagaLiyaa" by bhUthatth aazhvaar "thirukkaNdEn" by pEy aazhvaar There are variations on these, of course, from tradition to tradition. More than the mantras, however, what is most important (and perhaps this goes without saying) is to perform these with utmost bhakti. This overcomes any inability in knowledge of mantras, etc. With regards Mani ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Buy Stock for $4. No Minimums.
