Introduction
With the grace of Śiva, I’m happy to offer this very special practice of chanting the Rudram as a krama-pāṭhaḥ. This is one of the many way the Ṛṣi-s of Vedic times devised as an error correction methods to preserve the Veda. It is also considered a special worship to Lord Rudra-Śiva. We recite the entire text two words at a time together, adapting the svara-s and grammar appropriately. A phonetic guide for such a recitation is not possible and the learning process will be very humble, just listen and repeat with the text available in English transliteration and Devanāgari.
The course is based on my study with my Guru Śrī M.S. Sreenivasan of The Challakere Brothers. The program is only available to those who have completed study of both Rudrapraśnaḥ & Camakapraśnaḥ with Shantala. I am unable to accept students who may have studied Rudram in other traditions.
