Question on Matra recitation and Performing Homam

[Guest guest]

Hello PVR gaaru:

 

I have couple of dumb questions; please don't laugh get a chance can

you please clarify the same for me, hope I'm not misusing the group

with my silly questions:

 

1. Will there be any effect of playing Audio Mantras read/rendered

by experts? (as layman like me, who do not know how to pronounce the

Sanskrit mantras correctly, is it OK to take help of the CD's or Audio

MP3 mantras available?).

2. You have provided Audio and Video of Ganapathi Homam, will

there be the same effect if one plays and mimic (imitating the actions

without any self voice and your original voice in place)?

3. If the answers to the above is `Yes', who will get benefitted

(I mean will I get benefited or the originators who rendered the

mantras or performed Homam?)

 

Thanks,

 

CVRKumar

Reposting again as I did not hearback any reply from anyone who are readers and

members into this spiritual or/and Vedic wisdom group.

 

This is not my question alone, this was in thought process for many of us, and

I'm the one who voiced it out, just curious to know from spiritual angle.

Namaste Venkat garu,

 

This IS the purpose of the group and not at all a misuse.

 

(1) It is perfectly ok. In fact, even if the original expert recorded it

mechanically and without much devotion, you will still get good punya from it if

you listen to it with focus and devotion.

 

The purpose of mantra is to control the mind and its thoughts and tap some

spiritual energy that the mind has access to but does not get because of its

various pre-occupations. If you hear something with focus, it still helps in

controlling the mind, tapping some spiritual energy. It is still beneficial.

 

However, as you become comfortable with it, try to chant it yourself at some

stage. That is a little better.

 

(2) Yes. As you hear, a part of your mind is repeating that sound while you do

the actions. It will still be beneficial. In fact, I know that some people who

are now doing homam quite well started out in that manner!

 

(3) You will benefit mainly. But various people who enabled you will also get

some small portions of it. But most of the benefit for this specific action is

yours.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Sri Narasimha Garu, Namaskaram.

 

I have one another question to this list, kindly clarify;

 

Typically, i travel 1.5 hrs each side from my home to office, so i generally

prefer to listen to Rudra Namakam chamakam, vishnu sahsasranamam etc during this

travel time.

 

Manay times, since i reach my destination i had to cut short the playing audio

in my car, i'm not sure if that is a good practise or not, or do i have to

necessarily complete the entire audio thing?

 

Thanks

Krishna Kanth

Namaste Krishna Kanthji,

 

If you are feeling a kind of reluctance/Uneasiness within while switching off

the Audio, i've one quick suggestion.

 

As your travel time is fixed, you can match the duration of say

VishnuSahastranaam Stotra with your traveling time. For example if VSNS takes

around 1 hour, then start is approximately at the time during travel when an

hour is left to reach the destination.

 

If still not finished due to some wrong time calculations, then sit for some

time in you car and hear the stotra completely . We can surely do that if we

really like listening to that. But that will be too much for asking.

 

People like you need to be congratulated who listen to Rudram and Sahastranam

instead of listening to all the other stuff.

 

You surely know what I recommended. Kindly bear with me.

 

Warm Regards,

 

Utpal

Namaste,

 

I have encountered the same uneasiness when switching off the audio too! I

listen to audio paaths and stotras whenever I get the chance..lunch-breaks,

while travelling sometimes even when cooking..and if anything happens to crop up

before the end of the audio, I press on 'pause' but I try to continue the

chanting in my mind sub-consciously and then I resume the audio when I get to be

free again. I hope that's okay.
