Guest guest Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 see http://athirathram.tripod.com ________________________________--------- Below please see a note on \'Somayaagam\' which is taking place in April this year. Hope you can pass the message to all interested in your contact circle. Somayaagam is organised after a gap of 19 years. This will surely attract many people from outside the state and abroad. At least 100,000 people are expected to visit the place during the 6 day event. The following are some of the vital points about the Yaagam. a.. After a gap if 19 years, an Agnisthomam (Somayaagam) is proposed to be conducted (last one in 1984 April, at Thiruvananthapuram) b.. Agnisthomam, which uses 12 Sastras (defined segments) of Rigveda. c.. The word \"Yaagam\" in Kerala context is the same as \"Yajna\" in other states of India d.. The large quantity of fumes arising out of burnt ghee, seeds and vast quantity of appropriate herbals, cleanse the environment. e.. Vedic recitation is believed to release maximum positive energy for purifying the environment. f.. Vedams and Yajnam are eternal truths having neither beginning nor end, and are \"Apourusheyam\" (divine, not the creation of humans). g.. The goal of all Yaagams is the prosperity of the people at large by energizing and protecting the environment. h.. Yaagam needs 17 Rithwiks. Adhwaryu, Hothan, Udgaathan, Brahman and Sadasyan are called Mahaa (great) Rithwiks. The Mahaa-Rithwiks, except Sadasyan, have three assistants each i.. Udgaathan chants Saamavedam in its traditional musical style j.. For the post of 17 Rithwiks in the Yaagam, 34 Rigvedam, Yajurvedam and Saamavedam experts, mostly youngsters and middle aged, are being selected. For each post of Rithwik, there would be 2 experts trained. Redundence of trainees is for avoiding a Pula (defilement) related last-minute-confusion. k.. Yaagasaala (the shed with thatched roof) will be built as per its traditional measures and standards. l.. Preparations are on to procure good quality of Krishnaajinam (hide of Black Buck or Antelope Cervicarpa or Krishnamrugam) from North India m.. Wooden and clay pots are also being made as per traditional norms of woods & measurements. The following are some more information about the event: a.. The 6-day Somayaagam (Agnisthomam) will begin on 7th April, 2003 b.. At Brahmaswom Madhom (M.G.Road, Trissur - 680001, Kerala, India, Tel: ++91 487 2440877). c.. The team headed by Thaikkat Vaidikan Neelakandhan Namboodiri will perform the Somayaagam with Puthillam Ramanujan Namboothiri as Yajamaanan.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 Hey thanks, I'll pass this info back to Gill. She is a real stickler for correct attribution, don't know how this happened. Well, maybe its because you can find them on the web under lyrics to albums that England Dan has recorded. Maybe its because she is from England?
