vedic chanting from south india part 1

[indiantramp]

Eternal bliss!

Could not have put the stress behind me today without this.

[olskos]

what state of consciousness are these guys in?

[rish517]

this is the true culture of India

[amoddate]

are they reciting some thing for taitariya krushna yajurved ?

[MahaVakyas]

now..these two are real Aryans..

[scukt]

you need a reality check, pistachioguy... Bhagavad Gita: Oh Partha! The unwise who rejoice in the letter of the Vedas say there is nothing else. They are full of worldly desires and hanker for heaven. They speak flowery words... ('yamimam pushpitam vacham... janmakarmaphalapradaam')

I'm not demeaning the greatness of Veda Parayana... just keeping things in context. Poorva mimamsa is nothing without Uttara mimamsa, friend.

[VGSubramanianiyer]

we are all God's children and we are all equal in his eyes...no dalit no brahmin...

[OneDharmaYouMovement]

@hero1234378 dalit is term derived by an indian who was educated under the DIRECT CONTROL OF CHRISTIANS....... think about it.

The biggest cause of poverty in india was down the plunder by christians, over the past 200years.....

they created poverty, which lead to oppresion and aggresion, this is truth.....indian gdp in 1700 24% in 1953 it was less than 3%

it was in the self intereste of slave owning, racist, christians to degrade indian culture, christians created slavery of african !

[OneDharmaYouMovement]

@hero1234378 ambedkar who was HE?...he was a a poor man from a poor family, that lived in the DIRECT AGE OF PLUNDER BY CHRISTIANS....HIS ASSERTION THAT they where oppresed WAS WRONG. Now lets look at ecnomic history of india over the past 300years and what do we find

[LambrettaFunk]

@OneDharmaYouMovement

You are right. In 1810 India was the worlds 2nd richest country by 1947 it was a "Third World Country" This is the direct fault and thievery of the European Christians. The buggers!

[reva12]

@hero1234378 Thanks for this comment. It is very heartening amidst all this bickering about which group "owns" the Vedas. The truth is no one has a patent on any religious text. Any group can take and make it their own, for good or for evil. For me it is the antiquity, the pure music of syllables and the human reach for the unknown implicit in them that make the Vedas special.

[mac00uk]

The Vedas are apurusheya. they are not by man. They are spoken by Purushottam Himself. Just listening to them gives happiness, spiritual strength, valour and so much more. The Saamveda itself declares such. His word is His Svarup (form). So zeuspitar is wrong.

[mac00uk]

We may not, or need not, know them word by word, but listening to them, in itself is a bliss.

[shekhar1438]

Very nice. 

[en3rgy187]

Aum

[AnanthG]

Is there any stipulation that only the nasal voice should be used? When a shastri uses their other resonators the vibrational qualities complement the prodigious metered ones. Thanks for the upload. Great way for us to be reminded of our roots. And of course share them with those from other traditions.

[rish517]

vedas are the eternal eyes of devtas,humans and manes and are totally out of human power and comprehension

[bindukharod]

awesome. So pure and true phonetics.

[pistachioguy]

Real deal! No annoying synthesizers or tampoora to distract in the background.

Vedanta, Bhakti, Six Darsanas (except poorva mimamsa) , etc are AC room warfare - anyone can follow and pay lip service to them as a hobby.

Veda parayana and Srauta-sutra bheda, along with exegetical analysis of texts like Satapatha Brahmana and the Veda Mantra Samhitas, along with proper performance of rituals like Darsapoornamasa and Agnisthoma is proper trench warfare! - separates the men from the boys! ;-)

[yolioso]

Thanks for posting this! It is beautiful!

[MyAmitdwivedi]

great

[mc1ate1mad1cow]

And yet, I feel nothing but an uplift in my temperament/mood after listening to this- so this may be actually, fully genuine chanting? I don't know. Such chanting and other vedic practices promote a sense of confidence in the purity of our religion, but they shouldn't be viewed as means to salvation. Only selfless devotion / bhakti to the Eternal Forms of Godhead achieves that end. The 5 Principal Eternal forms are Sri Krsna, Sri Ramacandra, Sri Devi, Sri Shankara, Sri Narayana

[hulk70006]

@mc1ate1mad1cow

i agree . . 

[mc1ate1mad1cow]

No vedic chanting can induce blissful pure love of God within a person's mind. Essentially, it is used to promote the soul to heavens like Indraloka, Brahmaloka, etc. As such in this age, vedic chanting is prohibited unless the priest is actually God-realized and thus able to actually see the effects of the chanting and even explain the correct meaning as opposed to the neo-vedantic views which are spurning everything in the vedic literature..

[Revolvingsound]

@mc1ate1mad1cow whatever panditji, dont be jealous

[mc1ate1mad1cow]

@Revolvingsound lol, I'm not jealous...I of course have a lot of respect for such chanting and would always show it if I happen to be in the presence of it.

[Revolvingsound]

@mc1ate1mad1cow you speak like a knower of the Vedas, and make bold statements such as "No vedic chanting can induce blissful pure love of God in a person's mind" Let everyone free, to make their own actions...

[zeuspitar]

@mc1ate1mad1cow

Were are you getting this stuff?!.... "No vedic chanting can induce blissful pure love of God within a person's mind. Essentially, it is used to promote the soul to heavens like Indraloka, Brahmaloka".....This is absolutely WRONG!....The PURUSHA (Vishnu) Suktam..... The NARAYANA suktam.....The NARAYANA Upanishad.......The VISHNU Suktam. The "Blissful Pure Love of God" comes from VISHNU! And, what is up with this "Neo-Vedantic" term? You must be some kind of ISKCON person!

[mac00uk]

@zeuspitar The Vedas are apurusheya. they are not by man. They are spoken by Purushottam Himself. Just listening to them gives happiness, spiritual strength, valour and so much more. The Saamveda itself declares such. His word is His Svarup (form). So zeuspitar is wrong.

[zeuspitar]

@mac00uk Of Course I know The Vedas are Apurusheya and not by man! You didnt understand what I was saying! The guy "mc1ate1madd1cow" wrote the unvedic things above...not me! I am telling him what you just said to me! This "mc1ate1mad1cow" doesnt know what we are BOTH saying to him. Please re-read what I wrote and you will find what I said is correct.

[mac00uk]

@zeuspitar Ok. Yeah my bad. I meant to "mc1ate1madd1cow".

[hulk70006]

@zeuspitar

he is not wwrong nor he is right . . vedas can take you to the lord just in one case that you're intelligent enough to take good things from there and leave the USELESS things . . this is the truth that there is any person born in kaliyuga who wont get mislead because of vedas . . he may take himself to heaven or something like that but then return to earth with 'zero' puNya with him . . vedas are good for intelligent ppl who are absent in kaliyuga!

[nacashok]

awesome

[reva12]

Of all the Veda chants available on Youtube, this one is my most favorite. There is no distracting background "music"; nor is it a saccharine female voice full of itself "singing" it. (Just so I won't be taken for a male chauvinist, I am a female.)

Thanks for the upload.

[johnnybrown1884]

@reva12 Furthermore, it is only in South India that the Vedic chanting is done with great accuracy with regards to tone and pitch. The North Indians have been heavily and negatively influenced by outside and polluting cultures like the Turks, Persians, Arabs and other Mleeccha tribes.

[hulk70006]

@reva12

not all women sing! i wish ms amma rendered this . . :-/ did you listen her shlokas?!

and abt the 'distracting' sound . . well its always prescribed to add some background so . . silent . . like tanpura or sruti box or something like that . .

[hulk70006]

@reva12

not all women sing! not m s! :P (at least)

well the background sound is always prescribed and thought to be very auspicious . . something like tanpura or shruti box . . 

[krishna162]

@reva12 the veda is the music itself. no background music needed as what is recited is the music itself.

[asubmani]

@reva12 . lol! It's not just a female vocalist, but even some of the modern gurus, who kill the swaras and carelessly replace "tha" sounds with "da" etc. I haven't heard this style of rendering. I think they are using a different meter than the normal. Great rendering.

I would not take offense to a shruti box/tambura in the background.

[SaraswatiDewi20]

Brahmins...



[Dzongka]

@SaraswatiDewi20 Yeah. They're pretty cool, right?

[BKAY59]

Awesome!

[doctorshovelbumm]

it was not just meant to be read aloud, it must be recited in proper meter and hymn.

[oskamalapurkar]

Vedic chanting is highly coded and correct procedure is required. Thanks for uploading .I do not know if this highly coded knowledge can be learnt this way.

[314159265352]

Beautiful chanting....

[en3rgy187]

Thank you for this awesome video. Reminds me of Ravi Shankar sans the instruments.

Although I do not understand your words, I feel the love of God flowing and for that I thank you.

-en3rgy

[robertdegiro]

love chanting sanskrit.these are really high words

[Ooga001]

excellent chanting... the meter seems to be perfect! I am nobody to judge though.. excellent nonetheless

[Umarfablez]

Ok fine my bad : )

[1Avantgarde]

Hey - Is there a link where I can download the recitation? I am begining to read a lot about hindooism. Holy Quran must have been influenced by the vedas. After all, I read that these texts are more than 4000 years old!

[NadaSudha]

R^ig vEda Recitation:

1) gaNapati suukta

2) ambhriNii suukta

3) raatri suukta

4) What follows?

5) What follows?

[fcouperin]

next to the first minute, RV 1.25: veda vātasya vartanimurorṛṣvasya bṛhataḥ | vedā ye adhyāsate ||

[folopo2]

thks for sharing...

[TheNamoNamo]

GAnesh Vedic Chanting :)

[ushashailesh]

awesome!! though I am unfortunate not to understand this completely....its superb..

[meriprem]

Thankyou so much for posting. Perfection in Vedic chanting; creates purification and upliftment within and without. Hari Om.

[mutinyvizier]

they are sukla yajur vedins - vajasaneyi samhita - slightly different udattas and dirgha-svaritas than taittiriya sakha, krishna-yajur-veda - yagnavalkya vs vaisampayana

later mantra is from rg-veda 81st mantra found in mantrapushpam by RK mutt for ganapathy,

Aa tuu na indra kshumantam chitram graabham sam grbhaya mahaahastI dakshinena

for indra originally - i use it for something else

correct chanting - difficult mantra - chanting needs to be perfect for effects

others are for ratri etc

[sticky4rod]

great recital of veda-very good.

[daddylionn]

what chants are these?...they look Ayers ..
