Hello Sir,

greetings. We are also in the same dilemma as we want our son to learn vedas. He is 9 years old now and had his Upanayanam this year. He is performing Sandhi and Samitadhanam daily . We are living in Coimbatore in a place far-off from the so-called Brahmin locality. We also share your view that Vedas should be learnt orally but to get a Vadhyar to come to our place to teach Vedas is really tough. All other activities like painting, vedic maths, skating, Karate etc. have a number of centres everywhere in the city but not so for the vedas. Even holiday courses for a month or two is not available. The transportation from one part of the city to another takes a longtime and after attending the classes for 4 days for 1hr each spread over a month or so, he has mastered "Purusha Suktam". It is only our wishful thinking that more learned scholars of the elder generation pass on their vedic knowledge to the upcoming brahmin students who cannot take the Patashala course but at the sametime want to remain connected to their roots.

Thanks
Anamika.

Wishing for the good one

Dear Anamika,
It is really heartening and reading such good messages about doing our formalities on a daily basis! We brahmin society is ignoring the cultures, traditions and importances or specialties of our community and mingled with moden life! I wanted to greet for the great works of involving your son in sandhi, samitadhanam on a daily basis is really a great thing. To be honest I am not doing and in order involve and engage I wanted to take VRS in 50 years to start all this. Really you are having a meaningful life and by chanting mantras your life will be purified further.
Always it is advisable to have a guru for understanding the meaning of sanscrit and to pronounce it properly. But you are taking atmost care on a daily basis which is remarkable
Hats off to you and your son!!!

[sadasivam.sridharan]

Dear Anamika,
Quite pleasing to hear that at the tender young age your son has learnt to recite Purusha suktam.Since both you and your child have strong inclination to learn veda,opportunity to learn form a guru will throw up soon.

I suppose you are looking for mahali kazhangu cut into small bits and preserved in salt and mirchi powder. Later according to requirements it is soaked in curd and had along with "thayir/more sadam".
To cut the kazhangu is indeed painstaking as I would attest having to do it yesterday.

I don't know if it is prepared in oil like a mangai thokku or other orugais.

With regards,
Swami

Hello members

I am Raghuram residing in Hyderabad. Originally from Palakkad and still maintains ancestral home there. I recently returned to India after spending long time in Europe and China. Glad to see the development taking place in our country. I have set up a photo digitization venture, ScanCorner, which converts old photos to digital.

Got to know about this beautiful forum through my best friend Bala and hope to make nice friends within our community
I am also looking for a suitable bride for my cousin, who is 34 years old and residing in Mumbai. No special demands except for a well behaved and well bred girl

Best wishes
Raghuram

SwamiTaBra and reksvj

mahani kizhangu :- you have to add required salt/chilly powder and important is lime juice.

as and when u require use as it is or add curd or same you can make a paste form in mixer .........waa what a good combi for curd rice and molakootal( poricha kooty)

 

[anamika]

Thank you, Sir for your blessings. I feel you would be happy to note that our son learnt the entire Vishnu Sahasranamam byheart at the age of five.

Thanks again,
Anamika.

 

[anamika]

Thank you Sir, for your blessings.

There are Vadhyars available in Perur but as we live in a far-off place,Saravanampatty, off Sathy road - attending classes regularly is an uphill task. Our son learnt byheart the entire Vishnu sahasranamam at the age of five. He can also recite Aditya Hridayam . Though learning the Vedas from CD/ Casette is an option, we are keen to have him learn the traditional way. The other religious institutions always offer "Summer classes". Likewise, if veda classes can be held during summer vacations in temples or some places, for 2-3 hrs , interested children ,though a handful will be benefited.
