About the Book

Sri Vaikhanasa Kalpa Sutram

"Sri Vaikhanasakalpasutram" composed by sage Sri Vikhanasa, is in four parts - Sroutha, Smartha, Dharma and Pravara and it has 32 chapters (Prasnas) written in a simple but elegant style, pregnant with elaborate meaning and having scope for varied interpretations.

This Kalpasutra which advocates the practice of rites and rituals alongside mantra, has been acknowledged as the most ancient and the most significant of the divine sutras by sages like Manu, Apasthamba, Bhodayana and Haritha. It exemplies Ashtadasasamskaras, Varnashrama dharmas, Gothra pravaras and Pakayagna, Haviryagna and Somayagna methods.

This basic scripture of the Vaikhanasas deals with temple worship and worship at home, and also with the 18 samskaras (codes of conduct) to be followed by every human being in the course of his spiritual evolution in life. The followers of this Kalpasutra are mostly found in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu and Karnataka.

Vaikhanasa grihyasutra has seven chapters dealing with rites - Vivaha, Nisheka, Rithusamgamana, Garbhadhana, Pumsavana, Seemantha Vishnubali, Jatakarma and Annaprasana - the religious ceremonies that are a must for every human being.

The Kalpasutram is, in short, a compendium of mantras and methods of worship, based on our immortal Vedic texts.
