Veritably, these texts are God\u2019s own voice admonishing the sa\u1e41s\u0101r\u012b, reincarnation\u2019s wanderer, to give up love of the transient and adore instead the Immortal. How to love the Divine, when and where, with what mantras and visualizations and at what auspicious times, all this is preserved in the \u0100gamas. The specific doctrines and practices of day-to-day Hinduism are nowhere more fully expounded than in these revelation hymns, delineating everything from daily work routines to astrology and cosmology. So overwhelming is \u0100gamic influence in the lives of most Hindus, particularly in temple liturgy and culture, that it is impossible to ponder modern San\u0101tana Dharma without these discourses. While many \u0100gamas have been published, most remain inaccessible, protected by families and guilds who are stewards of an intimate hereditary knowledge. The Tirumantiram says, \u201cNine are the \u0100gamas of yore, in time expanded into twenty-eight, they then took divisions three, into one truth of Ved\u0101nta-Siddh\u0101nta to accord. That is \u015auddha \u015aaiva, rare and precious.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Are the \u0100gamas Significant Today? \u015aLOKA 130While the Vedas, with myriad Deities, bind all Hindus together, the \u0100gamas, with a single supreme God, unify each sect in a oneness of thought, instilling in adherents the joyful arts of divine adoration.
