KIRON KRISHNAN Yesterday we had discussion over who can be your guru, and your answer was our father who initiated us through Upanayana. Also I had a similar doubt regarding "How to know ones Sva Shaka", for which Abhivadhana was the only answer. Joining the bigger "devil, the Caste System". I recollect KIRON KRISHNAN mentioning this not to be a "Caste by birth". Now connecting these dots, if caste system is not intended to be by birth; its crucial for anyone interested in learning vedas that he knows Sva-Shaka. The Abhivadana seems to be not solving the problem right here, as it is coming out of a lineage. The fathers shaka is passed onto the son. Hows does sva-shaka and caste system fit into the puzzle? Please enlighten.

ReplyDeletethere can be nothing better than Bhagavad Gita which has slokas in both anushtubh as well as trishtubh - chose the appropriate adhyaya depending on the time available for parayanam
ReplyDeleteSorry to reply late, if I understood your question I would prefer start with vishnu sahasranamam. Its shorter than Bhagavad gita, the words would be somewhere in everyone's brain owing to the popularity of MS patti.
