Reading of the Holy Words of Kuljam Swaroop is called Parayana. The vibration of the sound of the Brahmn Wani recited clearly purifies the entire environment. Parayana offers an opportunity to the listeners to meditate upon the Holy Words. The correct reading method, particularly in a group setting, is to read each Word of the 18,758 Wani chopais (verses) clear and aloud. Silence reading is highly discouraged to ensure the quality of reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parayana is a very special reason to have the darshan of all sundersathjis. Gathering in the name of Parayana itself indirectly offers an opportunity to all sundersathjis to understand and improve our faith and receive Shri Rajji\u2019s blessings in a uniquely formal way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to read Parayana?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parayana can be mainly read in three different ways depending on the purpose, convenience and the feelings (bhavna) of sundersathji hosting the Parayana. Akhand parayana involves non-stop reading, which may continue for 36 hours or more depending on the reading speed. Among the three common methods, Akhand Parayana is the most preferred one and effective. In Saptahic parayana the entire KS is read in a week\u2019s time. The Gota parayana involves simultaneous reading of the fourteen or more separated parts of the Holy KS. This takes approximately three to five hours of time depending on the reading speed. This is the least preferred method of reading parayana because of the rush and conflicting sounds of the readers in the environment. In Gota Parayana, the environment appears more mechanical and the real joy of reading the Holy KS is often lost. Eventhough, this is the most convenient way to receive a mental satisfaction, Gota parayana should be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parayana Beginning Procedure<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Before actually starting a parayana, all sundersathjis gather in front of the Parayana Seva to be read and sing bhajans, kirantans and Meher Sagar depending on the time availability.<\/li>
  2. Perform Seva Pooja by singing puran brahmn, offering chandan pushpa, doing aarti, singing parikarma and swaroop and offering bhog.<\/li>
  3. The reader sundersathji or preacher gives some overview of the Holy KS and explains the significance of reading the parayana to the audience and explains the steps to be followed for systematic reading. A prayer is also said to Shri Rajji Maharaj for the successful completion of the Parayana.<\/li>
  4. Just before the beginning all sundersathjis sing aloud Shri Tartam.<\/li>
  5. Now read the first seventeen chopais aloud by the parayanan reader. All other sundersathji may also recite together if they can. It is a good idea to distribute a copy of the Parayana Vidhi so every one can participate actively. All recite together the seventeenth chopai:<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Jyare dhani dhanvat karey, tyarey bal veiri na harey |<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Vali gaya kaam saradey chadhey, mana chitvya kaaraj sarey ||<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    jyaaro QaNaI QaNavaT kxro tyaaro bala vaorI naa hro |<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    valaI gayaa kxama saraDo caZo, mana icatavyaa kxarja saro ||<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now the parayana continues. In case of Gota parayana, all sundersathjis can now start reading their assigned portion of the Holy KS until the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Offering Bhog During Parayana reading<\/span><\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While Bhog is offered during the beginning and at the conclusion of a Parayana, it should also be offered during the parayana whenever a bhog event actually comes in reading. To simplify this, akhand bhog should always be maintained and replaced daily during the entire parayana reading period. While akhand bhog is adequate, depending on the Bhavna of the host sundersathji, fresh bhog may also be offered each time the bhog comes in reading. Here are the junction points at which a new Bhog may be offered during Akhand Parayana:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
