Rudram is generally understood to be a prayer to Lord Rudra. In fact, it is the essence of all the Vedas, viz. \u1e5ag V\u0113da, Yajur V\u0113da, S\u0101ma V\u0113da and Atharva\u1e47a V\u0113da. Another important feature of Rudram is the \u0113katva (unity) between its two parts, Namaka and Chamaka. Namaka lays stress on virakti (detachment) whereas Chamaka dwells on desires for this and that. What is to be discarded and what is to be desired? That which is evil is to be discarded and all that is good is to be desired. Understanding of both these aspects is essential for man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Extracts from Bhagav\u0101n Sri Sathya Sai Baba\u2019s discourse<br \/>\nduring Ati Rudra Mah\u0101 Yaj\u00f1a, August 2006<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><footer><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Sathya Sai Baba<\/a><\/footer><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-heading su-heading-style-default su-heading-align-center\" id=\"\" style=\"font-size:23px;margin-bottom:20px\"><div class=\"su-heading-inner\">Rudram Chanting Sadhana<\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\" magee-shortcode magee-row row\">\n<div class=\" magee-shortcode magee-column col-md-3\" id=\"\" style=\"text-align:;\">\n<div class=\"magee-shortcode magee-promo-box  promo_box-ki62lc boxed\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-info\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>Who can participate?<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"magee-icon-list  magee-shortcode list-bf2c80\" id=\"\">\n<li class=\"li-7a8yu1\"> Individual<\/li>\n<li class=\"li-oug6p6\"> Family<\/li>\n<li class=\"li-gy7fqa\"> Center<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-action promo-action-vqp00y\">\r\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"btn-normal btn-lg\"><\/a>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" magee-shortcode magee-column col-md-3\" id=\"\" style=\"text-align:;\">\n<div class=\"magee-shortcode magee-promo-box  promo_box-2wxv2v boxed\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-info\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>Duration?<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"magee-icon-list  magee-shortcode list-sjbgsp\" id=\"\">\n<li class=\"li-0u8ra1\"> 11 times once in a month or as per your convenience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-action promo-action-mi5gfs\">\r\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"btn-normal btn-lg\"><\/a>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" magee-shortcode magee-column col-md-3\" id=\"\" style=\"text-align:;\">\n<div class=\"magee-shortcode magee-promo-box  promo_box-xsq44t boxed\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-info\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>Suitable for?<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"magee-icon-list  magee-shortcode list-qib0j3\" id=\"\">\n<li class=\"li-4rqkev\"> Adults<\/li>\n<li class=\"li-4uqgqq\"> Young Adults<\/li>\n<li class=\"li-w8z3zw\"> SSE Groups 1\/2\/3\/4<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-action promo-action-oc9znj\">\r\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"btn-normal btn-lg\"><\/a>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" magee-shortcode magee-column col-md-3\" id=\"\" style=\"text-align:;\">\n<div class=\"magee-shortcode magee-promo-box  promo_box-b9rgtn boxed\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-info\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>How long does it take to do?<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"magee-icon-list  magee-shortcode list-9dckp8\" id=\"\">\n<li class=\"li-d3onpv\"> 3 hrs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n                                        <div class=\"promo-action promo-action-4wp3yt\">\r\n                                            <a href=\"#\" class=\"btn-normal btn-lg\"><\/a>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\" divider magee-divider magee-shortcode divider-3ff30e divider-border\" id=\"\"><div class=\"divider-inner divider-border\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\" magee-shortcode magee-row row\">\n<div class=\" panel-gwt0u5 magee-shortcode panel magee-panel\" id=\"\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"panel-heading\">\r\n                                            <h3 class=\"panel-title\">Details<\/h3>\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                        <div class=\"panel-body\">\r\n                                            \n<h4>Instructions:<\/h4>\n<p>The following is suggested to be followed during the chanting.<\/p>\n<p>1. Chanting Namakam<br \/>\n2. Chanting Chamakam<br \/>\n3. Sai Rudram (is optional who prefer can do it)<br \/>\n4. The above will be repeated for 11 times<br \/>\n5. Kshama (forgiveness) prayer<br \/>\n6. One Aum and 3 Shanthi&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>Sw\u0101mi started explaining about namakam. It means I don\u2019t want anything.<br \/>\nNa means no, while ma means want. I don\u2019t want anything, I don\u2019t want anything is the first half.<br \/>\nWhile the second half, chamakam means I want. I want indicates being full of desires. What do they desire? Oh God, grant us pure air; grant us good drinking water; bless us with good food. That is chamakam \u2013 prayers of request.<br \/>\nThen I asked, \u201cSw\u0101mi, while we say, I don\u2019t want anything, in namakam, why should we also say, I want everything, in chamakam? Why both these types of prayers? Either we should pray, I want it, or pray, I don\u2019t want it. What is the point saying both?\u201d<br \/>\nSwami immediately replied, \u201cBoth are there in V\u0113das so that those people who have desires will recite chamakam and those people who have no desires will recite namakam. That\u2019s all. The V\u0113dasgive provisions for both these types of people, for both categories of people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Extract from Talk by Prof. Anil Kumar on 22 October 2002<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SRI RUDRAM NAMAKAM &amp; CAMAKAM\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RAp9LyHLSqw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"plain-container","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"disabled","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"disabled","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"disabled","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=619"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1434,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/619\/revisions\/1434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sssgc-usa.org\/1008sadhana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
