Sivarathri was last night in Australia, as you saw with my post yesterday. It is "the long night of Siva" and rather than the festivities associated with a lot of other Hindu festivals, this one is one of meditation and introspection spent at the temple. A beautiful, quiet night, and many many years I have stayed for the full 12 hours.
This chant (Rudra and Chamaka), long in its entirety (about 40 mins), is sung over and over on Sivarathri. Many years I've been part of the group in our temple chanting it. It can be hot and thirsty work, but the devotees bring us water.
The first time I ever heard this chant it was sung by a group of 30 or so Hindu monks in their temple, and it was so beautiful with their voices all melding that I promised to learn it.
I found a local teacher and oh my goodness, how long it took me to get my tongue around the sounds. I must begin to chant it regularly again. With that teacher I learnt many chants, including Guru Gita which is also one of the most beautiful. Quite different to Rudra tho.
Hachyderm.ioSean Murthy (@smurthys@hachyderm.io)"Shivaratri" is the perfect time to take in this beautiful rendering of "Rudra and Chamaka".
The recitation is by K.V. Raman, whom I have had the pleasure of working with for the last two months (during my #Udupi sabbatical).
