Talk:Samaveda

Sameshwari Link

The first guideline to Indian classical music come from Samveda. It is with reference to hymns of Samveda that all later treatises discuss music. The Samic scale is different from later musical scales. Dr. Lalmani Misra deciphered the notes used in Samgana and created Raga Sameshwari a vocal rendition of which has been made by Dr. Laxmi Ganesh Tiwari. The notations of Sameshwari are given on website www.omenad.com based on a lecture on Sameshwari by Dr. Misra preserved on audio cassette. The site also offers scholarly articles on Indian classical music that refer to Sam Veda. Ghanonmatta 15:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Samveda followers

I reached unintentionaly to a place, which is 18 kilometers away from my residence, exactly at the bank of the river Ganga, where I find that Samveda adopting Families are existed still today and few of them is residing here. One of my friend Shri Ganesh Shanker Tewari belongs to this village. He is now over 64 years and his uncle is 80 years old, they are called Samvedi. His uncle told me that in his childhood, over few hundred families of Bramhins, all of them were followers of the Samveda, chanting daily early in the morning the verses of Samveda at the bank of the river ganga loudly, singing the veda verses. I founded the place at the bank of river Ganga, where the acts was performed. It is in very bad condition now and only bricks are seen at the Ghat. The villagers told me that a big series of the temples was existed at the bank of the river but they could not be saved due to heavy flood of the river. Five years before I saw a temple, which was perished by the flood of river Ganga, which is eye witnessed. Now only one temple is existed and the temple is in very bad condition.

Primary investigation done by me and in my opinion, the Samveda is nourished in this place by the families of Tewaries since centuries. The place is known as Kutmahua Madarpur / Mahua Madarpur / Dhodi Madarpur, 18 kilometers away from Kanpur city, Uttar Pradesh State, India. I often go to this village to relax and vocation one or two days. My friend is having a rare book, which is titled "Khadanga" and is over hundred years old and is hand written.The genesis of Samveda seems to be related to this place.

That is wonderful information by Shri Bajpai. Kindly involve interested scholars / institutions / individuals in preserving the manuscript "Khadanga" and recording Sam paath of of Shri Ganesh Shanker Tewari's uncle along with other Samvedi-s. Ghanonmatta 04:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

One of the leading exponents of Samaveda was my great-grandfather Pandit Rewashankar Trivedi (aka Shastriji) of Padadhari, Gujarat India. He was awarded with the title of 'Samaveda Martanda' by His Holiness Paramacharya Sankaracharya of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. This honour was conferred on Pt. Rewashankar Shastri in Madras, India in late 1960s. Pt. Rewashankar Shastri was also awarded the President's Medal of Honour by the then President of India.

Obscure para

Two of these latter, the Gramageyagana 'settlement song-book' and the Aranyagana 'wilderness song-book', follow the order of the verses of part I of the Samhita, and two others, the Uhagana, the Uhyagana, of Part II. This part is generally arranged in triplets whose first verse is often the repetition of a verse that has occurred in part I.

I have removed the above since it is unintelligible, partly because those "parts" have not properly been defined, partly because it is difficult to see what is important about this particular facet of the verse structures in the absence of a comprehensive analysis.Redheylin (talk) 22:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Project to preserve Sama Ved and other Shruti

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi hosted pandits (and their students) both in India (housing them permanently) and in the USA (transporting and housing them temporarily) for the purpose of video-recording the entire Rg and Sama Vedas, some Upanishads and yajñas, and perhaps a lot more (I'm not sure exactly what, other than Rg and Sama, which I myself saw and heard), starting in the early 1970s and continuing to the current time. In this way the true performance of Sama Veda has been preserved. Maharishiji demonstrated how the purpose of Sama Veda, with its sections of prolonged vowels, was the development of consciousness and the realization of enlightenment (Vedanta: Sat-Chit-Ananda) in the listeners through sound, not meaning. I hope this information helps, and believe it should be noted somewhere even if it is not well-known by people outside of Maharishi's Movement. David Spector (talk) 23:10, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
