How To Chant The Vedas

Svara, Note is very important.

Equally important is the Akshara, the syllables constituting the Swara..

The Swara and the letters are to rendered as grasped initially by the Rishis and expressed through the Vedas.

The recitation of Vedas is also conditioned by the Matras, the time taken to recite a Syllable and the pauses one makes while rendering the Vedas.

Neither the Sruthi, the syllable nor the intonation Swara should be in disharmony.

The synchronized rendering of Sruthi (Syllable) and Swara,Tone makes the rendering of the Vedas effective.

There are different ways/types of rendering the Vedas.

Rules have been set forth to combine words and syllables so that they are not altered.

Ears and Mouth can be made to focus by chanting.

Rars are attuned to the our voice automatically.

Once our voice is heard the Mind is directed towards it.
