The chanting of Veda mantras, remains one of the most important spiritual disciplines in the Sanatana Hindu tradition. Veda Mantra Parayana is a sacred participation towards the fulfilment of our Rishirma-the debt we owe to the holy Rishis. Whether as part of daily worship (nitya karma), ceremonial homa (agnikarya), or special sadhanas, these mantras form the very breath of dharmic life-invoking, nourishing. and sanctifying the practitioner and the environment alike.
This humble volume titled Śrutisārah (Srirudram, Chamakam. Suktani) offers to the sadhaka and seeker a carefully curated selection of Vedic suktasthatareamongthemostreveredandrecited in the Vedictradition. It presents, with clarity and precision, the original Sanskrit text, its English transliteration, word-by-word meaning, and explanatory notes, thus serving both as a chanting companion and a study guide.
At the heart of this compilation is the Srirudram, drawn from the Taittiriya Samhita of the Krsņa Yajurveda, and traditionally chanted during Rudrabhişeka and Mahanyasa rituals. A distinctive feature of this edition is that each mantra of Srirudram is presented with its Rishi (seer), Chandas (meter), Devata (deity), Dhyanashloka (meditational verse), and Viniyoga (ritual application), following the authoritative Abhinavashankara Bhashya. This brings to light the full depth of Srirudram, rarely available in accessible formats.
The volume also includes the Chamaka-prashna and a rich collection of Suktas.
The Srisukta in particular is a highlight of this compilation, presented in its Samasti-Sukta form while retaining the individual mantra identities, true to its tradition as an important Vedic mantra for invoking prosperity, harmony, and inner illumination. The integration of Rishi, Chandas, and Devata for each of the fifteen mantras is the special feature of this volume.
This book is offered as a devotional and scholarly resource. For the devotee, it is a bridge into the sacred world of Vedic recitation and inner worship.
May this work serve as a means of connecting to the timeless resonance of the Vedas. May the study and recitation of these mantras bring shraddha (faith), bhakti (devotion) and jnyana (wisdom) to all who undertake this journey.
