Bhū or bhūmi is the globe or earth on which we live. It is a glorious place in the cosmos, for we find the marvel of life here. In the vision of the Vedas, Bhū is a divine entity, a devatā, one of the various forms of Īśvara's manifestation. (Swami Tattvavidananda Saraswati)

One cannot really think of poetry without Chandas or Metres. Chanda is as important as the speech world itself. It is an essential part of poetry and it is this part that makes poetry different from the prose. A Chanda or metre means ‘a fixed and balanced system of the measures of sound, matra’ It is the ‘ordered measures of the poetic spirit’ and is the ‘right physical basis for the poetic movement’. This lecture demonstration deals with various aspects of Chandas by presenting a true picture of Chandas and their deeper values. It explains the applicability of the Chandas by linking the study of Metrics with healing, with Nature, with Music, with the philosophy of creation etc.

Let us call Bhaga, who is strong and victorious, powered by all that is true, right and good to come and displace ignorance and all falsehood in us. 

Bhaga has a wealth of Truth, come and manifest for us the knowledge and energy for this Truth. May the dawn bring to us Bhaga.

This mantra features the famous words Bhagavān and Bhagavantaḥ, used to signify the supreme person in later times, especially in the Bhakti literature.

The Śrī Sūktam is one of the more popular Vedic hymns, used extensively in ritual worship in temples and homes as well as a sādhana, or daily meditative practice of recitation for tuning into the energy of Lakṣmī, who stands for all that is beautiful, gracious and enriching in man and his surroundings.

Śri Suktam is now included in the Ṛg Veda, but is considered a pariśiṣṭa sūkta or a khila sūkta (an appendix) to the 5th Manḍala. Therefore, you will find in this hymn various possibilities for svara (idamittham) My recitation follows the teachings of my Guru from Trayee Veda Vidyalaya in Bangalore.
