परम आदरणीय गुरुवर महोदय,मैं आपके द्वारा प्रस्तुत श्लोकों को बहुत ही सावधानी पूर्वक सुनकर समझने का प्रयास करता हूं।आप द्वारा किया गया पाठ मुझे अत्यंत ही प्रिय लगता है।मेरे शिक्षकों ने सिखाया है कि शब्दों का उच्चारण अत्यंत सावधानी के साथ सही सही करना चाहिए ।संस्कृत में क्योंकि संधि का प्रयोग प्रायः ही किया गया है अतः यथा संभव उच्चारण करते समय संधि विच्छेद करते हुए शब्दों का उच्चारण करना चाहिए जिससे सुनने में सही शब्द और उसका वास्तविक अर्थ भी समझ में आए अन्यथा अर्थ का अनर्थ हो जाता है। आप द्वारा उच्चारित शब्द ,अंग्रेजी में दिए गए शब्द को सुनने और पढ़ने के बाद अर्थ को समझने में संशय हो जाता है।संस्कृत में दिए गए शब्दों का उच्चारण संधि सहित या संधि विच्छेद के साथ करने के विषय में कृपया निर्देश देना चाहें।
Many many thanks Sir, for conceding to my request! After this, two more expected from you Sir! They are: 1. Ganapati Atharva Sheersha, 2. Mantra Pushpanjali
Pranams Guruvu Garu for providing the correct and original style of Chanting Sri Suktam. I shall now switch over to Rig Vedic style of Chanting from the Krishna Yajur Vedic style. Very grateful to you Guruvu Garu for your selfless efforts, without which we would not have been fortunate to listen to the chaste Chanting of Vedic Hymns by Ghanapatis.
@@shreyasabhishek2015 ji please listen to Guruvu Gari clear explanation in the following link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rWMhePsG2jI.html
We are eternally grateful and indebted to The Ghanpathi for preserving this invaluable Treasure. Also heartfelt condolences....Shree Suresh guru.... He is immortal in his work.....🙏🙏
Brilliant as always. I would like to add that my way of recitation is a bit different. I chant Sri Suktam daily similar to how Acharayas from Sringeri Mata do.
Thank you Sir for this beautiful Chanting in Rig Veda Swaras. I am always indebted to you for such wonderful work of preserving the Chanting in the videos for posterity. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks team for bringing us long Awaited ...Shri Suktam vedic chant...we need to have Vishnu shastranama and Kanakdhara stotram to get understand clear vedic method of pronounciation. Thanks... Hari Om...
I really shocked some fool people finded flaws in very good things, but they have no any quality to do some good... Ireally inspired your attachement with our ancient roots and culture, हरि ॐ तत् सत्
हरिःॐ। नमस्ते। Spell binding ghoshaNa of Rigvedeeya-Srisuktam. Thanks. Vedas are GoshaNaarhaaH only. Now that they are being given in a global public platform, the writeups are expected to be correct if not precise. Kindly clarify the following doubts. 1. Does ऽ avagraha chihna has any sanction in any of the Niruktas or Praatishaakyaas. Just because it is used in other languages that have same lipi, and just because many people earlier have used in their books published, is it correct to include. Loukika Samskritam that encompasses all the nuances of Vedic Samskritam or Chandas, does not provide for any such chihna even while writing also. And the pronunciation in this video of course is perfect. How and where that ऽ chihna is heard? 2. Does हिरण्यम् get Anunasika Chandra bindu on य like यँ। If chandra bindu has to come there it can be like हिरण्य्ँयम्। Is it so? 3. Visargaha ( : ) , cannot be away from any letter. They do not have separate existence. They can be only with any vowels अः, कः. लक्ष्मीः, etc but not like अ : । Kindly clarify Mahodaya. जयतु सनातनधर्मो जयतु संस्कृतं जयतु भारतम्॥
