Sama veda rudram10/28/2023 The recitation of Vedic hymns places heavy empasis on not only pronunciation but the intonation as well. The Veda's learned in any other manner or any method of "self-learning" is not sanctioned by the Shastra's. It is critically important to learn the Veda's from a Guru who has, himself, learned it through the proper and prescribed channels. Over the countless millennia, they have undergone no evolution or change in response to the times like some other disciplines, such as music, have. The preservation of the Veda's in their exact and immaculate form is remarkable. Disciples lived in the residences of their Guru's for many years mastering a certain branch of the Veda's and Shastra's after which they moved on to establish their own schools. The Veda's have, since, been passed down through a tradition of oral recitation, repetition and memorization. His Holiness the Paramacharya has stated that the Vedas were never composed but actually "heard" or "seen" by the Rishi's (sages) of the past after years of penance. The Veda's are termed "Apaurusheya," i.e., not of man and are the life breath of the Paramatman or Supreme Soul.
