Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 I chant rudram chamakam. I have heard that you can chat rudram 11 times followed by chamakam. Is that true? what is the benefit? Also is it possible to chant rudram by itself? Is there a number (5, 7, 11) which is used for reciting? thanks. regards, Ketan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 6, 2005 Report Share Posted April 6, 2005 Hi Ketan, i heard that chanting or listening of rudram and chamakam with its swara and rhythm along with pancha suktam..is very good for the self and for the family. I understand one time recitation itself is sufficient as that alone takes 45 minutes....now if you have time you can carry on 11 times.... i heard that in olden days, the trikala sandhya vandana prayers performed by brahmins contained elaborate procedures including the above ones. regards sriganeshh , "ketanshahtexas" <ketanshahtexas> wrote: > > I chant rudram chamakam. > I have heard that you can chat rudram 11 times followed by chamakam. > Is that true? what is the benefit? > Also is it possible to chant rudram by itself?

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 In case anyone wants to learn the pronunciations or just listen to the chants, they are available on the Satya Sai Veda Prasthanam site at http://www.vedamu.org/Media/audio/chanting.asp (You can buy the CDs from here also. In addition to the Rudra Namakam and Chamakam, there are a variety of other chants on this site.) or at http://www.vedamantram.com/ (Again, a variety of beautiful chants ...) Ketan, I don't think the Namakam is recited by itself, without beign followed by the Chamakam. The Namakam is a beautiful expression of love, awe and devotion to the wonderful Lord, and the Chamakam details the various aspects of life that are blessed by His kindness. Portions of the Namakam ARE recited seperately, as shorter mantras and prayers, but that is no longer referred to as the Rudram. The famous Maha Mrutyunjaya Mantram is part of the Namakam, as is the popular "Eesana sarva vidyanam" prayer.
