Wow LOVE it - brings back happy memories of me and my friend when I went to stay in the Ashram as part of my Yoga teacher training - the Priest used to laugh at my something chronic with my pronunciation of words!! My friend went on to do the full training and listening to them chant the Vedas is amazing

Namaste,

If you would like the correct Vedic pronunciation based on Ancient Shakha traditions (which are more authentic and correct), please check out the following:

Namaste,

This isn't a "song" per say, but the dance itself by these students of Bharatnatyam can be seen as a song of sounds from their dance.

Pt. Chitresh Das performs his legendary traditional Kathak solo - Pt. 2 - YouTube

I used to study under Pandit Chitresh Das, it was through him I learnt kathak, got my ghungaroos and developed a deep love of kathak and Indian religion.

In this clip Dadaji re-enacts a story from the Mahabharata and @ 4 minutes, he does the song he always finished the class with.

<3

Enjoy!

Here is the complete list of Shiva Strotas:Sanskrit Chants

Other part is partly on this youtube video:

Very nice! (I was looking for a Bhajan thread actually).

I listen to all the above Shiv Ashtakams, especially Kalabhairavashtakam - but the one I enjoy listening to the most is Atmashtakam by Adi Shankaracharya:

[youtube]_8r9Y1hzMFs[/youtube]
shivoham by purusotam das jalota..flv - YouTube

Here's Kalabhairavashtakam anyway:

In addition to this, is the most powerful Shiva Bhajan ever:

[Rare] Maha Kalbhairav - Yam Yam Yam Yaksha Roopam (lyrics) - YouTube

Then, there's this one:

[youtube]vtwDqMl273U[/youtube]
Rudra Rudra Maha Rudra - Lord Shiva - Hindi Bhajan by Udit Narayan & Vinod Rathod - YouTube

...and I am rather partial to Kannada devotional music as well:

[youtube]OjIIe48xtgY[/youtube]
Devane Kalabhairava - Annadaani Sri Bhairava - Kannada Album - YouTube

...but the thing I bliss out to the most is the Pashupatinath Aarti:

[youtube]D0ejpawrXTQ[/youtube]
Pashupatinath: 1hr Shiva Bhajan (HQ),

Why do I still love Lord Shiva so much? *sigh*

Reviving this old thread with this song. So lovely.

Namaskaram Madhuri ji , .....

you like Krishna das , ...hopefully you will enjoy this , ....

The philosophy is dvaitadvaita, both the same and different. The theology of it is based on the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam, as well as a handful of other scriptures.

Glad I can help

I realize your post on this thread was long ago but I had a question. Who came up with Dvaitadvaita and who was its big proponent(?). Chaitanya(?) I'm trying to
learn more of Hinduism/Vaishnavism.

Dvaitavada or Tattvavada was established by Sri Madhvacharya (1238–1317 CE). The acharya established the Sri Krishna temple in Udipi, Karnataka and eight monasteries.

Lord Chaitanya (1486 - 1534 CE) established the philosophy of "Achintya Bheda-Abheda Advaita" (Hare-Krishna for you, inconceivable one-ness and difference) which is a fork of Sri Madhvacharya's philosophy.

Who came up with Dvaitadvaita and who was its big proponent(?)

Dvaitādvaita was propounded by Śri Nimbārka not Śri Madhva as suggested by @Aupmanyav ji above.

Though it is believed that Śri Caitanya accepted sannyāsa from an ācarya of Śri Madhva tradition, its later developments diverge completely from Tattvavāda. The subsequent commentary by Śri Vidyabhūṣaṇa on brahmasūtras makes it a different school altogether - not a fork. There are no diverging schools of thought within tattvavāda.

Oh, you are right, Tattva. I did not read Prana's question carefully. I am sorry.

You are right also about there being no forks in Tattvavada, but that is what Gaudiya Math people claim.
It is morning here, perhaps I am still sleepy.

Yes , I think it is fair to say difernt school altogether , ... Sri Nimbarka belongs to Kumara Sampradaya , ...Sri Krsna Chaitanya belongs to Brahma Sampradaya and ...Sri Ramanujacharya to the Rudra Sampradaya , ....

each themselves refining the understanding within their own tradition , ..but we are all Vaisnava , ...so we should happily accept each others tradition without need to think of one as offshoot of another .

to my knowledge all that Gaudiya math should claim is that above vigorous debating there should be love of God , ...
meaning that we belive that absorbtion in the lord is more important than vigerous debate, ...hope that makes sence I am still sleepy too , ...

Hari bol and welcome !

 

[Aupmanyav]

.. but we are all Vaisnava, ..

The question that usually crops up, Ratiben, is that whether the Vaishnavas should accept shiva as equal to Krishna? You are a devotee of love, what would you say? (though, in spite of your sleepiness, I think you have partly answered the question)

"to my knowledge all that Gaudiya math should claim is that above vigorous debating there should be love of God, ..
meaning that we belive that absorbtion in the lord is more important than vigerous debate, .. hope that makes sence I am still sleepy too, ..".

Many people tend to forget this.

Good information. Now I know Tattvavada means Realism. And I also know some more history.

Good to know more about Sri Nimbarka and that Dvaitadvaita means Duality in Unity.
