Aushada is something that we are all familiar with. Ayurvedic vaidyas aim at balancing these three doshas at all times to prevent disease and promote wellness.

According to the professor, regular chanting brings about balancing in the three doshas of vata, pitta and kapha. Reciting a mantra repeatedly with ease brings about subtle changes in our nervous system which helps maintain health. Clarity and ease of recitation is important. It is not enough if it is chanted silently. While deploying mantra, says Prof Seshadrinatha Swamigal, all of the mantra’s sounds, syllables tones or swaras come into play. The use of ‘Mantra’ in addressing health and disease was talked about in great detail. It is made from various herbs such as Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Vasa (Acorus calamus), from precious and semiprecious stones and from various minerals and metals. ‘Mani’, which we would loosely interpret as gems, has a wider connotation in healing. Each expert spoke about the information contained in the four Vedas which could be used by vaidyas. The source of all this knowledge is in the Vedic corpus. The only job of a healer-the ayurvedic vaidya-is to make use of nature’s offering to relieve suffering. According to him, the whole universe is composed of elements that can contribute to human wellbeing. In his brilliant exposition on ‘Mani, Mantra and Aushada’, the professor talked about the importance of this triad in maintaining health. The inaugural address was given by Professor K V Seshadrinatha Sastrigal, former principal of the Madras Sanskrit College.
SAMA VEDA MANTRA HOW TO
Ably coordinated by the principal of the college, Dr Ramadas Maganti, Professor of Sanskrit, S Venugopalan and Dr M N Sunandan, the workshop brought together experts on the four Vedas and their commentaries on wellness, disease, its causes and how to deal with it both from the practical and spiritual plane. Jointly organised by Sri Jayendra Saraswathi College and Maharishi Sandipani Rashtriya Vedavidya Pratishtan, Union Ministry of Human Resource Development, it was a three-day workshop (October 24-26) of immersive learning about the origins of ayurveda, its beginnings in the Rig Veda and Atharva Veda and various references to health, disease and its management. The chants from the Rig Veda, the Sama Veda and the Yajur Veda provided the right atmosphere in which the national level seminar, ‘Mani, Mantra and Aushada’, was conducted. Chanted by just two persons-Vedaratnam Dr Sivakaran Namboothiri and his disciple-the notes transported the audience into a spiritual plane. As a result, Devas grant the fruits of the Yagna to everyone.The sounds of the Sama Veda being chanted reverberated in the halls of Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Ayurveda College. Secondly, they establish a feeling level connection between the human plane and the plane of the Devas. This happens towards the end with the chanting of Sama Veda mantras. Sama Veda priests seek the blessings from the Devas. The third step in a Yagna is interesting. Additional chanting the mantras accompany the act of offering to the Devas.

Subsequently, they place the purified offerings to the Yagna. However, Yajur Veda priests must sanctify these offerings. This is an important aspect which connects the material existence to the subtle. Offerings to Devas is the second step in a Yagna. Thirdly, Rig mantras alone can invoke the energies of Devas. Secondly, the first step in the Yagna involves inviting appropriate Devas to the Yagna. The tradition of Yagnas has continued through the ages. What is the reason for the overlap of Mantras? Overlap of Mantras in the Rig, Yajur, Sama Vedas Because of this, Yajur Veda contains mantras which are not in the Rig Veda. However, not all mantras of the Rig Veda are in the Yajur Veda compilation. Almost every Sama Veda mantra is also in the Rig Veda compilation. Several mantras are common between the Rig, Yajur and Sama Veda compilations. These compilations are today known as the four Vedas, namely, the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Atharva. Vyasa created four compilations from the subset. Certainly a larger set of Mantras was in vogue earlier.

Vyasa collected a subset of Mantras at the end of the last Yuga or Era.
