4000 Santhai - By SriRangam Adhyabhakas

[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha:

Humble Pranam to all devotees:

 

Vedics Foundation is blessed to bring to the Asthika Community, a product that

can

help devotees learn and chant the 4000 by-heart.

 

For this purpose, the Nalayira divya prabhandham santhai is being recorded by

people

who participate in the goshti at Srirangam, and is led by Sri BadriNarayana

Parasara Bhattar Swami.

 

We are honoured to have the leadership of Sri BadrinarayaNa parAsara bhattar

svami, a direct

descendant of Sri Parasara Bhattar who performs kainkaryam for Lord Sri

Ranganatha.

 

Chanting Method:

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

In the traditional method of learning, students learn 50 paasurams from a

teacher over 15 days.

For the first couple of days, the teacher recites each word of the pasuram,

followed by the

students repeating it 3 times. This procedure is called “santhai”. For the next

2 or 3 days, the

santhai proceeds with the teacher teaching with 2 words (or half a line) at a

time. For the next 2 or 3 days,

the santhai continues with 1 line; then with 2 lines; then with the whole

paasuram. Towards the end of the

15 day period, the students will be able to recite the whole paasuram. For the

next 15 days, a procedure

called “thiruvai” is done where the paasurams learnt over the past 15 days are

recited in addition to the

new 50 paasurams santhai. Normally, the students and the teacher do not use any

books during the

whole process, and the paasurams learnt in this manner are in the memory of the

student for a long time.

With frequent “thiruvai”, or with frequent recitation of the paasurams in the

temple goshtis , the

paasurams are generally not forgotten. The Santhi CDs are being recorded in the

same

manner as is being taught in Santhai classes.

We hope devotees use the Santhai CDs and learn the pasurams by-heart.
