RE: Rudram Kramam

[Guest guest]

>>>"The Vibrations of sound formulas of the Vedas work through the

chakras to increase the flow of beneficial energy throughout the

subtle body where these latencies and tendencies are stored. Mantra

therapy starts by increasing the total amount of energy available

for all of our activities. Certain Mantras used Singly or in

combination can greatly accelrate the quality and quantity of energy

used in the healing process. It guards the World against ills. Our

ancestors devised remarkable methods of chanting to protect the

original form, their tonal and verbal purity against change and

distortion. They laid down rules to make sure that not a syllable

was changed in chanting, not a svara was altered and ensured that

the full benefits were derived from intoning the mantras. According

to this the words of a mantra are braided together in different

like "

vakya", "pada","krama","jala", "mala", "sikha", "rekha", "ghana".

The intonation of a few of a mantra in different ways, back and

forth is most delightful to the ear. In krama patha the first word

of a mantra is joined to the second, the second to the third, the

third to the fourth, and so on, until we come to the final

word "krama tu ca caturgunam," This krama chanting bestows, times

the effect of normal chanting of the Mantra...."
