I am grateful to him, Maha Samkalpam (09 August 2021)Īpavithra pavithro vaa sarvaavasthaam gathopi vaa, ya smareth pundari kaksham, sabahyanthara suchi, manasam vaachikam paapam, karmanaa I have also got my typing read through and to certain extent edited by Sri.P.A.Anantharaman. Since I am not a Sama Vedin I depend for the mantras on Book published by C.Sankara T Rama Sastri (1956) Sama Veda Upakrama prayoga published by Sri Balamanorama press, Madras.

But I have made an effort to present the needed mantras for the above steps for the year 2020 because I feel that our youngsters are more at home in English rather than in their mother tongue or Sanskrit. They areĮnglish is a very inadequate language to type out Sanskrit manthras. Since most of the above steps are lengthy and involve proper chanting of Sama Veda Mantras,they do only three steps of the above 10. Naturally these have to be done with the instruction of a Guru but in modern times when people are scattered all over the world and alsoīecause well learned Sama Vedi Purohithas are very scarce, many people are forced to do it in their home depending on some handouts. It essentially consists of ten steps in the following order In the case of Sama Veda, The upa Karma prayogam is very extensive and differs very much from the Upakarma prayoga of Rig and Yajur Vedis.They always do it in Hastha Nakshtra of the Kanya Masa. The next day of Avani Avittam is known as Gayathiri Japam. Upakarma is known as Avani Avittam in Tamil Nadu. Upakarma which is a Vedic ritual is still practiced by Hindus of Brahmin caste. On Samaveda Upakarma day, Brahmins ritually change their Upanayana thread along with Shrauta rituals.
