Samputikarana with beejas (a question on Chandi Paath..)

[Guest guest]

Namaste

 

There is definately more to samputikarana, one can also do whole slokas. These

are secret ways mastered by our saints due to sadhana

 

This is also true for reading other granths or other things like sunderkand

recitation or ramayan recitation etc.

 

I have read one book as follows:

 

Pronunciation and the Chandi Samputs

 

 

By Swamiji and Shree Maa

Pronunciation and the Chandi Samputs contains a collection of stories about

sadhus' chanting, and about the constituent ingredients of intention,

motivation, sincerity, attention, bhava, and understanding. It shares an outline

of the history of Sanskrit literature, and details the origins of

transliteration into Roman characters. It discusses the various styles of

chanting among sadhus, and describes the differences in the alphabets of the

differing languages of India . Then it details the Sadhana of the Chandi:

different ways of chanting for different purposes. Ultimately it defines many of

the Chandi Samputs, and describes the siddhis for which each would be employed.

It's a small book, a simple book, but I think it is very important for students

of Sanskrit.

 

 

Other books from the same authors are also very good

Their Chandi Paath book is very meticulously written with a good process to read

the Chandi Paath.

 

If there are other books please share here too.

 

Best Regards

Mitesh
