15 - Twameva
from Yoga Wisdom with Swami Satchidananda Hosted by Integral Yoga
Sri Swami Satchidananda, Integral Yoga founder, teaches the pronunciation of the Sanskrit slokas used in daily pūjā, a service of devotion at Chidambaram (the Mahasamadhi Shrine of Sri Swamiji). The pūjā is offered to the Sivalingam (according to Tamil Saiva tradition, Sri Swamiji's root tradition). In Sanskrit, Siva means “auspiciousness,” and lingam means “sign” or “symbol.” The Sivalingam symbolizes the Absolute God, the nameless and formless One. The slokas are broken into syllables to help one learn to pronounce each portion and then Sri Swamiji chants the entire line. Find the text here:
