Sairam
KSAMA PRARTHANA
Introduction
Vedas
should be chanted with perfection in intonation and pronunciation. Knowing the
meaning and chanting with the right emotion and attitude is very important. It
is said that a slight change in intonation and pronunciation will change the
meaning of the chanted mantra. It may lead to sin.
To get
redemption from the sins during chanting and those sins we do in everyday
activities, we chant KsamaPrarthana.
Ksamaprarthana
means asking for forgiveness.
Generally,
it is a practice that we start our chant with Ganapathiprarthana (invoking Lord
Ganesha) and end with Ksamaprarthana (asking for forgiveness).
