Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Thank you dear Narasimhamji, for your e mail. I was fortunate to have been able to read the Narayaneeyam under a guru [my grandmother]. I was interested in reading bhagavatam, when I bought those four volumes and was reading the translations. but then to read the slokas I think I need some one to introduce me to the tune etc. Regards Sunita --- Narasimhan <athenawala wrote: > > > Sri Guruvayoorappa Sharanam! > > Dear Ms Ramanathan: > > I appreciate your sincere interest in learning the > Bhagavatham.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Sri Guruvayoorappa Sharanam! Thats great! You are already well into your goal. I have never read the Bhagavatham under a tutelage, hence am unaware of the metre's (tune) for each canto except that of the Narayana Kavacham, which we learn while learning the Narayaneeyam. You are indeed fortunate to have your Narayaneeyam guru be your own grandmother. I sincerely pray you are able to obtain " Sharanagati " with a guruji for the Bhagavatham. Another resource that I found to be of value w.r.t gaining a better understanding of the Bhagavatham (including the pronunciation of specific slokams) is a set of video CD's (play on the computer window media player) of pravachan's by Pandit Rameshbhai Ojha. I am currently in the process of viewing these and have not completed the entire set. Jai Shri Krishna! Narasimhan Sunita ramanthan <rsunitaa wrote: Thank you dear Narasimhamji, for your e mail.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Thank you very much Shri Narasimhanji, for your e mail. I will pray too that I find a guru. I have a guru who teaches several other slokas to a group of 10 people. He knows Bhagavatam. But I am not sure if I should approach him, because it would be such a big commitment for him. He is already so busy with community service here in the US. May be I pray to the LORD and he will guide me.
