    The website only mentions two lines of mantras. I think its main aim is to spread the meaning of the same. I obtained the grandhakshara version of Abhishravana Mantra from Digital Library of India. But I can hardly read the text because of the language.

    hari om. As per the dictionary(sanskrit- english by sri vaman shiram apte of ferguson college poone  edition 1965 ) 'abhisravan manthra' is a set of vedic manthras chanted by priests while brahmanas are sitting to perform shtaadha and at the time bhojana in shraadha. So while taking food vedic chants create an auspicious atmosphere.'ABHI' means towards or in the direction of  & shravan means to listen.
    There is one more 'MADHUMATHI SRAVANAM also.
    This is what I know. Am I clear?
    good day. hari om

    hari om ..while brahmins take shraadha meals the karta or the main purohit will start chanting anna sukta,medhasukta,raakshojna sukta etc. At the end of the meal again they chant madhumathi shravanam. The karta will invite the brahmanas to meals and when they sit he will request them to listen(shravanam) to suktas. they say  "shraavaya" .. means ok we will listen start chanting.. these suktaas are available elsewhere for your perusal.

Father and son, went to a temple, suddenly son shouted after seeing the pillars of Lions at the entrance of the temple "Run Dad, or those Lions will eat us " Dad consoled him saying "they are just statues and wont harm us" Son replied " if those lion statues wont harm us then how could statues of God give us blessings" The father wrote in his diary... "I am still speechless on my childs answer and have started searching for God in Humans instead of statues. -- A good story which I read today. Not sure whether this has been penned by an agnostic or atheist. But forms a good question for discussion. What do you all think about this?

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples.

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples. They have changed their forms from being cultural and binding factors to just business centres. mostly people who are visiting the temples are doing mechanical things. how can we revive the temples as discussion forums for arts, culture, social responsibilities from being just "transactional" in nature. there are satsangas being organized in the temples, but they just follow the bhakthi movement. how can we revive usage of sanskrit, learning of vedas, and then to create a more responsible generation than ours? ideas are welcome...
