RECITATION OF UVASAGGAHAR STOTRA.
When any word or a number of words are chanted a number of times, they become a stotra or a hymn. The magical divine power, of the mantra or the stotra increases, with the increase in the number of its recitation. When it is recited for lakhs or crores of times, it becomes Siddha, and it starts possessing extrasensory spiritual powers. Pujya Gurudev says
“Any stotra recited by us proves to be effective, only if it is sung in a proper rhythm. For this, each word of the stotra needs to be sung in an appropriate rhythm”
The Uvasaggahar Stotra consists of 5 stanzas (gatha). Each stanza is formed by the combination of 4 parts . Each part needs to be recited in a different rhythm as follows:
FIRST PART OF A STANZA:
The first part of a stanza should be recited with the style and speed of the swan. Just as the swan raises its wings gradually and tries to fly, similarly one must recite each word of this stotra very slowly.
