Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Dear bhAgavathas Koti Namaskaram. I need a help from our vast group of great learned, bhAgavatha bHaktas, on the following: 1. When we offer our sambhavana to a scholar, a vedavith or a bhAgavatha we are expected to render slokas before offering acharya dhakshina, vastram etc thanking and invoking their blessings after the lecture series or say a saptAha utsavam. May I know which are the appropriate slokas, and from where I could get the same? 2. When a Sanyasin has to be offered sambhavana similar to the above, what is the appropriate sAmpradhAic sloka or mantras to be recited prior to offering the sambhavana ? Is it possible for me to know the source, or better still, the mantras themselves ? Kindly enlighten Adiyaen Namaskaram Adiyaen Mani _______________________________ M.C.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2001 Report Share Posted June 6, 2001 Sri: Sri Brahmatantra Swatantra Parakala Guru Paramparaayai Nama: Namaskaram I am not quite sure about the Sambhaavanai Mantrams, but here are the veda anuvaakams that are usually recited when eulogizing acharya roopams and during the occasions when they are being recognized (may be during the Sambhaavana also) If the person is a grihasta, the appropriate anuvaakam are from the Taittiriya Upanishad "aanando brahmeti vyajaanaat.h . aanandaadhyeva khalvimaani bhuutaani jaayante . aanandena jaataani jiivanti . aanandaM prayantyabhisa.nvishantiiti . saishhaa bhaargavii vaaruNii vidyaa . parame vyomanpratishhThitaa . sa ya evaM veda pratitishhThati . annavaanannaado bhavati . mahaanbhavati prajayaa pashubhirbrahmavarchasena . mahaan.h kiirtyaa .. " For sanyaasis, the following is recited from the Chaturtha Prasna of Yajurveda MahaNaaraayanopanishad: "na karmaNaa na prajayaa dhanena tyaagenaike amR^itatvamaanashuH . pareNa naaka.n nihita.n guhaayaaM bibhraajate yadyatayo vishanti .. vedaantavij~naanavinishchitaarthaaH sa.nnyaasayogaadyatayaH shuddhasattvaaH .. te brahmaloke tu paraantakaale paraamR^itaaH parimuchyanti sarve .. dahra.n vipaapa.n varaveshmabhuuta yat puNDariikaM puramadhyasa{\m+}stham.h .. tatraapi dahre gagana.n vishoka.n tasmin yadantastadupaasitavyam.h yo vedaadau svaraH prokto vedaante cha pratishhThitaH . tasya prakR^itiliinasya yaH paraH sa maheshvaraH .."

Perhaps sometimes the Taittiriya Anandavalli is recited as well, as Rajeev writes above. >From what I have been taught, 'na karmaNa, na prajayA ...' should be recited only for sannyasis and not for acharyas such as Nammalvar or Swami Desika. The reason is that strictly speaking that sentence applies to a renunciate and not others. Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above sloka-s are used when we receive a sanyaasin with puurNakumbham and I am not sure they are relevant for sambhaavana - I am not even sure sambhaavana is the right term for a sanyaasin although it involves samyak bhaavana in offering something. Normally we offer biksha that includes not necessarily food and paada puuja that involves seva and kainkaryam - - there is also a sloka -that start with raajaadhi rajaH ... Hari Om!

Normally > we offer biksha that includes not necessarily food and paada puuja > that involves seva and kainkaryam - Dear Sri Sadananda, Your point is well made but I think it is customary in the tradition of Bhagavad Ramanuja to denote this as sambhAvana even for a sannyAsi; this is presumably because the sannyAsi is in the position of an achArya and therefore sambhAvana is due him. > - there is also a sloka -that start with > > raajaadhi rajaH ... I believe this is used as the sambhAvana mantra for the Lord. With regards, Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
