Mantra Recitation - Part 4

Anbil Ramaswamy

=============================================================

A few examples from - our daily prayers in Morn, Noon and Evening when the

Mantra, Rishi, Chandas, Devata and Viniyoga are uttered is given below :

Knowingly or unknowingly, we recite them by rote, without making any effort to

consciously remembering the same. Such a rememberance would make the mantras

really efficacious.
