Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 why some of the south indian authority r claiming that the way of chanting in north is not good and its absurd . i have read these kind of comments in some website . its mainly debate on Krishna and Shukla yajurved . vedic astrology, "Sanjay Rath" <guruji wrote: > > | om gurave namah | > Dear Pandit Arjun > Now you see the difference I have with Narasimha about *right intonation* and the reasons for my objecting to that humming sound which he calls gayatri! Nobody should claim that they are right. I also took objection to his advising people not to chant this loudly. I stand by my statement that if this is played in government offices, even at low volume, just as *vahe guru* is played in the Punjab Bank HQ, corruption will come down to nil. > > The Gäyatri parivar has done a remarkable job in such a short time. I was in Orissa and even in Aska and Kodala they have done very well. The MLA Sri Kishore Chandra Singh Deo was really all praises for their good work. > > However on the issue of saying the gayatri mantra even once, I have already lodged my protest with his guru. Frankly, I think both will need to think on this or consult their seniors in their tradition (I hope someone is around). If you have to give something, give it well. Your analogy of the parrot (Matangi defined really) was excellent but then Ramanuja disobeyed his guru and gave the mantra *om namo naarayanaaya* to the world. > > Actually there is something bigger happening which none can see but it was an eye-opener for me. It is the way of Jagannath to show me that this sishya of mine does not have such a big heart as I thought he did, or perhaps Jagannath is opening his heart, slowly but surely. Prabodh's point is very right as it can only be a selfish intent that can prevent him from giving what his heart says must be given. Why has he done all this in the forst place? Because his heart says that he must give. > > Of course we should not forget that he has Sun in the 7th house (the hridaya as per Jaimini) and let us see how well he can give this that is there in his heart. Can he be another Yajyavalkya? > > "Extract from my paper for the SJC West Coast pre-conference" > > URW Palladio font 7.
