Dear VedAbhimAnis :

Until now , we covered upto the 9th

Mantram of AruNam , Third AnuvAkam .

Before continuing with the postings on the meanings of the subsequent Mantrams ,adiYen would like to take a break to enjoy the Vedic Recitation of AruNam by Veda Pundit Brahma Sri Maarepalli Naga Venkata sAsthry of SatyanArayaNa DevastAnam , San Jose, California.He is originally from Kothagudam , Andhra Pradesh and has a deep and resonant voice that is a sine quo non for Veda PaarAyaNam .He is accompanied by the ancient , MangaLa Vaadhyam of Veenaa.

AruNa PaarAyaNam commences with the Aaditya Gaayatri after an introduction in Sanskritized Telegu about the sacredness and significance of the AruNa PaarAyaNam for realizing the blessings of Aayur-AarOgyam.This special PaarAyaNam is done without partaking any food on Sunday Mornings .Even the hearing of it is said to confer on the listener the blessings of long and healthy life .

AruNa Prasnam with its 32 anuvAkams and 132 Mantrams would take an hour and fifteen minutes to recite by a PoorNa AdhikAri .

Soorya NamaskAram can also be done by those who feel fit to prostrate 132 times in between the Mantrams.The Elaborate AarAdhanam starting with Kimbha Pratishta concludes with the offerings of sakala MaryAdhais to ChAyaa SuvarchalAmbhA samEta Sri Soorya NaarAyaNa Murthy sitting in the middle of the Aditya MaNDalam .

Subham Bhavathu !
