Camakapraśnaḥ
The Camakapraśnaḥ consists of eleven sub-divisions called anuvākas. This hymn is generally recited after Rudrapraśnaḥ in which we ask Īśvara for very specific blessings. Swami Dayananda Saraswati says “Suppose Bhagavān were to appear in front of you and ask what you want, you simply chant the Camakam!!”
Camakam therefore becomes a request to Īśvara in His own words, because it includes everything. This course can only be studied in the live program offered for Namakam & Camakam.
How this Course Works
This course can only be studied with the live program offered each year for Namakam & Camakam.
Course objectives:
At the end of this one year program, you will:
- Learn the complete chanting of the Camakam along with all Vedic phonetic details. These are 11 Anuvākā-s or paragraphs along with one śānti mantra recited at the end.
- Learn the significance of this mantra in your life and an overall meaning of each section.
