Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Should this not require dIksha? regards Vishy venkata sriram <sriram_sapthasathi Thursday, September 11, 2008 4:33:06 AM vidyAdAna vAk saraswati hridaya stavah Dear Anand, Namaste. Given below is the Vak Saraswati Hridaya Stavah which is Brahma Prokta. The presiding deity of this Stotra is Vak Saraswati rupa Devi Sarada. This stotra is chanted by the brahmacharis who are into Veda Vidya and Sastra Adhyayana. Specially, Veda Vidyarthis who are learning Veda, Tarka, Mimamsa, Vedanta, this stotram is VERY ESSENTIAL for them to excel in studies. Regular parayana of this stotra bestows sharp memory, razor sharp intelligence, analytical skills, victory in sastra charcha (polemics and debates). This is quite popular among the closed circles of Sarada Upasakas of Kashmir and in Sringeri. This stotra was given to me by Brahmasri Gollapudi Gopalakrishna Sastry, who was a very close friend of my gurunatha. Shri Gopala Krishna Sastry was the 1st guru of Shri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal of Sringeri. He taught swamigal Tarka, Vedanta and Sutra Bhashya in Narasimha Vana. Later on Abhinava Tirtha Swamigal taught the advanced sciences to Sannidhanam. This stotra is the favorite of both my gurunatha and Gopalakrishna Sastry. Shri Gopala Krishna Sastry used to reside in Sringeri and later on shifted his residence to Hyderabad. Now he is no more. A few words on him. Shri Gopala Krishna Sastry, learnt Tarka, Vyakarana, Mimamsa, Kavya, Sankara Advaita and Kashmir Trika Siddhanta (entire Tantraloka) from Brahmasri Mahamahopadhyaya Dravida Rajeshwara Sastry of Kasi. Initiated into Srividya Upasana by Brahmasri Tadepalli Raghavananarayana Sastry of Chandavolu. Right from childhood, he was brought up under the personal care of Chandrasekhara Bharati Swamigal. Currently, the grandson of Dravida Rajeswara Sastry is residing in Chennai. His name is Mani Dravida Sastrigal. It is my fortune that Gopalakrishna Sastry used to reside next to our street in Hyderabad. Now he is no more. This stotram is the kripa bhiksha of this great personality.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Dear vishwam, No initiation is required when the brahmachari has undergone brahmopadesa. Such a brahmachari is ever pure (the words of Sringeri Acharya). And Devi Sarada is parama sattvika murthi who is ever intent in bestowing sangita, sahitya, veda, vedanta, nyaya and mimamsa vidya. This is a wonderful stotra. One of the sloka runs like this: " O Mother please do not let me put down my books of sastra. I should be ever inclined in sastra adhyayana and sastra charcha. During the sastra charcha please do sit on the tip of my tongue and bestow victory " Hence, no apprehensions in doing the parayana of this stava (for brahmacharis pursuing the veda adhyayana) With regards, sriram , vishwanthan Krishnamoorthy <krishvishy wrote: > > > Should this not require dIksha? > > > regards > Vishy > > > venkata sriram <sriram_sapthasathi > > Thursday, September 11, 2008 4:33:06 AM > vidyAdAna vAk saraswati hridaya stavah > > > Dear Anand, > > Namaste. > > Given below is the Vak Saraswati Hridaya Stavah which is Brahma Prokta.
