Raghuveera Gadhyam Audio



Sri Kamakshi Swamigal, a renunciate from Tamil Nadu, India advised me in May of 2019 to recite Sri Raghuveera Gadhyam once a week or daily if possible. Upon initial perusal, it was found rather difficult to recite this shloka which is all in prose form with tongue twisting words. But the desire to follow the advice gave strength to the capacity of persistence. And it is presented here in audio form for the benefit of all the devotees of Sri Rama.

There are a total of 94 prose passages in 6 sections in this treatise, which essentially summarizes the Great Srimad Ramayanam. For detailed commentary and explanation one is recommended to study  https://www.sadagopan.org/pdfuploads/Raghuveera%20Gadyam.pdf . A desire arose to perform a Raghuveera Gadhyam Homam at home, which was performed in December 2019 in our backyard. A short 1 minute 40 second clip from the Uttara Khaandam section is presented at the bottom of this post.

This is a short hymn. 8.5 MB.
And now the audio: about 9 minutes 17 seconds long.

And in closing, here is the short 1 minute 40 second clip from the Raghuveera Gadhyam Homam performed at home in the backyard in December 2019.
 
Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram !
