      Dear All,
      Is it possible to upload Aikamatya Suktam either in english or Devanagari script? I tried to find it on the net but could get only the MP3 version.

    4. Raghavendra Says:

      Dear Sir,
      I was born in a madhwa family and I got married to someone in a kshatriya family. We have a son who is literally a hari bhaktha. Can he chant Gayatri mantra? Does it have to be initiated by a guru? I heard in one of Vidhyamanya theertaru’s discourse that sandhyvandene is for all jati, including kshatriya, vaisya and sudra and even for women, but yellaru avaravuru anusara madabeku.

      Can one chant gayatri mantra without upanayanam? Please clarify. Our family would like to be mukya prana antargata hari devotees and perform our duties from whereever place we are.

      Please, give us your insights
      Geeta

      • Shyamu Says:

        In my opinion, all you need to do is take your son to one of our Mathadhipatis. I’m sure he can be initiated into chanting the Gayatri after the Taptamudra dharana.
        However, remember what the Lord said: In Kalidyuga, the easiest means to attaining the highest state is through the kirtana of Hari’s names. Bhajana, Kirtana may seem to be too simple to produce any great result that a mantra or stotra can produce but never underestimate their power. Bhakta Kumbhara is a classic example.

        May ShriHari guide you on the right path.

      Namaskara Mahesh,

      Some really small Rama mantras -

      “Sri Rama Jaya Rama Jaya Jaya Rama”
      “Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare, Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare”
      “Ramaya Ramabhadraya Ramachandraya Vedhase Raghunathaya Nathaya Sitayah Pataye namaha”

      I understand that you are actually asking for some shorter stotras :-) Will try and upload some.

      Thanks for visiting!
      - Hari

    11. Hariprasad Says:

      Namaskara Sri Raghu,

      The first shloka you mention is more of a statement than a prayer where Lord Rudra is explaining the power of Rama mantra to Parvati. Simply chanting ‘Rama’ three times is also very powerful. Hence, the real mantra hidden there is just the name ‘Rama’. But many thanks for bringing up both the shlokas.

      I had the great opportunity to discuss the question of Aditya Hridayam with Sri Vyasanakere Prabhanjanacharya a few months ago. He opined that as long as we did the Anusandhana that the Aditya Hridayam was bestowed by Sri Rama for the welfare of humanity and Surya himself, it is perfectly ok. Never should we think that Sri Rama derived any benefit by praying to Surya. Essentially, we should not fall into the ‘Asura Mohana’ trap that is open there :-)

      Regards, Hari

      Namaskara Nirmala,

      Many thanks for your kind words.

      Lakshmi Shobana is definitely on my list. But I am working on something ambitious for the next few weeks and so it may be a while before I am able to upload this. Do keep visiting.

      Thanks, Hari

    14. Hariprasad Says:

      Namaskara Mahesh,

      I am not sure what you mean by “buying Vayu Stuti”. If you are referring to Mukhya Prana Chakra, I suggest you contact a good archaka or purohit and get their opinion. I am not well versed with Chakras and Mandalas and hence my opinions may be wrong. If you are referring to purchasing Vayu Stuti book and reciting it, then its definitely a very good idea, provided you get ‘Upadesa’ from a Guru.

      Regards, Hari

    15. Hariprasad Says:

      Namaskara Sri Ramnath,

      I am not sure which mantra you are referring to. Could you kindly clarify.

      Regards, Hari

    16. Hariprasad Says:

      Namaskara Nirmala,

      Thanks and wishes to you and your family too.

      Namaskara Anand,

      There are 2 zip files available at http://www.taraprakashana.org/index_files/dwlds.htm under “Veda Suktas”. It contains a majority of the sukthas you have listed.

      Regards, Hari

    18. Hariprasad Says:

      Namaskara Nagesh,

      Thanks for your comments. I will certainly try to increase the collection.

      Regards, Hari

      Namaskara Sri Raghu,

      I do not have this stuthi myself but the following link maybe of use to you.

      Namaskara Sri Raghu,

      1. Thanks so much for your wishes!
      2. I actually am not too well versed with this stuti, honestly. Let me do some research and try and get you an answer.

      Regards, Hari

      iT IS TO BRING TO THE NOTICE OF ALL THAT THE SOUTH INDIAN VERSION OF RAMAYANA DOES NOT CONTAIN ADITYA HRIDAYA IN YUDDHA KANDA. HOWEVER IT IS A POWERFUL STOTRA FOR HEALTH AND WELL BEING. ANUSANDHANA IS NOT EASY. WHEN YOU PRAY sUN GOD WE ALWAYS MAY NOT THINK SAVITR NAAMAKA lAKSHMEENARAYANA.

    23. padmanabharao Says:
