Priya Bhagawatas,

We are all tiniest of the kids and remain so throughout our life in front of

Lord Srimannarayana and Nityasoori brundam. Just as a mother not only excuses

her child but enjoys its talking with loss of clarity, grammar, pronunciation

etc., Perumal and His parivaaram enjoy our chanting and excuse us for our

mistakes while chanting the Divya Prabandham or any stothram; but it is

our duty to ask for the apologies at the end for our ignorance like

"Mantraheenam, kriya heenam Bhaktiheenam Janardhana.................and

Yadakshara padabrahstam maatra heenantu yadbhaveth tatsarvam kshamya ta devam

naarayana namostutey." But from time to time we also should put some efforts to

correct ourselves slowly. Thus instead of not chanting at all on the pretext

of

possible errors, it is better to continue chanting and ask for apologies at the

end, as nobody what ever experienced one may be cannot guarantee 100% accuracy

in chanting

 

Jai Srimannarayana

mistakes when we chant the pasurams, as it is tantamount to insulting the

Azhwars??

or "Pallandu KURUMINE". Is it an offense when I mix and match them??

I respectfully thank all the adiyaars for taking the time to address my query,

in short I observe that it is ok to make mistakes initially, but one should try

his/her level best to rectify the mistakes by following the recital of famous

Scholars in audio cassettes, having a book for reference, and ofcourse, praying

to Emperumanaar, the Azhwaars and ofcourse Perumal to help me (wow, a huge

sentence I must say!!).

 

Again, thanks to all the Adiyaars.

 

AzhwAr EmperumanAr JIyar ThiruvadigalE Saranam.

 

Dasan,

 

Kidambi Soundararajan.
