From: The Endless or Glorious Knot , The Handbook of Tibetan Buddhist Symbols by Robert Beer, 2003
Google bookpreview: http://books.google.ca/books?id=-3804Ud9-4IC&pg=PA11&lpg=PA11&dq=curl+on+Vishnu's+breast&source=bl&ots=FQACWTLhIt&sig=NQEXi2M3nmwVwr2zC_J69ALi2D0&hl=en&ei=L3GzTdeaEISkvgOfoZSABw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=curl%20on%20Vishnu's%20breast&f=false 110424
(Skt. shrivatsa, granthi )
The Sanskrit term shrivatsa means 'beloved of Shri'. Shri refers to the goddess Lakshmi; the consort of Vishnu, and the shrivatsa is an auspicious mark or hair curl that adorns the breast of Vishnu. Lakshmi's insignia on Vishnu's breast represents the devotion in his heart for his consort, and since Lakshmi is the goddess if wealth and good fortune the sbrivatsa forms a natural auspicious symbol. The shrivatsa either takes the form of a triangular swirl, or an upright diamond with loops at its four inter cardinal corners. Krishna, as the eighth incarnation of Vishnu, also bears the shrivatsa at the center of his chest.
Another name given to this hair curl is nandyavarta, which means 'curl of happiness', and this curl is shaped like a swastika or a Greek hooked-cross (Gk. gammadion). Indian and Chinese representations of the Buddha frequently show the nandyavarta or swastika on his breast as a symbol of his enlightened mind. Another possible derivation of both the endless knot and swastika arose from the S-shaped makings on the hood of the cobra. This in turn gave rise to the nagayantra, where two or more entwining snakes form an endless knot design or yantra. The endless knot or granthi also appears on clay seals from the early Indus valley civilization (circa 2500 BCE). In its final evolution as a geometric Buddhist symbol the eternal knot or 'lucky diagram', which is described as 'turning like a swastika', was identified with the shrivatsa-svastika, since these parallel symbols were common to most early Indian traditions of the astamangala.
Go back Shrivatsa-note-b
Śrauta (Skt: श्रौत) traditions are conservative ritualistic traditions of historical Vedic religion in Hinduism, based on the body of Śruti literature. They are still practiced in India today although constituting a small minority within Hinduism.
Presently alive Shrauta traditions are:
Rig veda: Ashvalayana (Shakala) and Sankhayana (Kausitaki)
Sama veda: Drahyayana (Kauthuma), Latyayana (Ranayaniya), Jaiminiya
Krishna Yajurveda: Baudhayana, Vadhoola, Bharadvaja, Apastamba, Hiranyakesin,
Vaikhanasa (for Taittiriya) and Manava, Varaha (for Maitrayani)
Shukla Yajurveda: Katyayana (for Kanva and Madhyandina both)
Atharva Veda: Vaitana (Shaunaka and Paippalada)
The Śrauta tradition places more emphasis on the performance of rituals rather than having a set of beliefs. The practices of the Śrauta tradition mainly consist of yajnas. [See Yagya Skt-Dev: यज्ञ = यज्ञ Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yagya 110426.] The yajnas are divided into two categories, nitya-karma and kaamya karma. Nitya-karma refers to those yajnas that have to be performed daily or as per occasion. Kaamya-karma refers to those yajnas performed with a particular purpose, such as wishing for rain, cattle, overlordship or for a son (e.g. Putrakameshti).
The Vedas describe 400 Yajnas.[1] A (late) subset of them are the Pancha Mahayajnas (Five Great Yajnas, see Taittiriya Aranyaka 2.10):
Devayajρa consists of offering āhutis to devas
Pitṛyajρa consists of offering libations[2] to ancestors or pitṛs
Bhūtayajρa consists of offering bali or food to certain spirits
Manuṣyayajρa consists of feeding guests
Brahmayajρa consists of daily repetition of reciting the Vedas.
The pantheon in the Śrauta tradition consist of various gods and goddesses, known as devas, who represent natural forces or deified social concepts. For instance, the deva Agni has one aspect as the flame.
Since Shrauta focuses on conservative Vedic rituals, the pantheon corresponds to the Rigvedic deities more than to that of mainstream (Puranic) Hinduism. Among the most prominent deities are Agni, Indra, and Soma, as well as the All-gods (Viśve devāḥ), Ashvin, Ushas, Surya, Savitar, Parjanya, Rudra or Sarasvati (cf. Chamakam 6):
The Śrauta tradition of transmitting the Vedas consisted solely of oral tradition from the Guru (teacher) to the shishya (student). Vedic scholars have made use of manuscripts in order to teach the Vedas to their students at least since the Middle Ages, and of printed books since the advent of Western philology in British India, but the use of writing has always been secondary to the oral tradition.
The oral tradition of the Vedas consists of several ways of recitation. The students are first taught the Samhita Patha. Here, patha means a way of recitation. The other methods of chanting include "pada", "krama", "jata", "mala", "sikha", "rekha", "dhvaja", "danda", "ratha", "ghana" etc.
Some Veda reciters, called ghanapaathins, have learned the recitation of the texts up to the advanced stage called ghana. Ghanapaathins recite a mantra in different ways, with individual words repeated back and forth. Similarly, in the other methods of chanting like krama, jata, sikha, mala, and so on. The chief purpose of such methods is to ensure that even not even a syllable of a mantra is altered to the slightest extent. The words are braided together, so to speak, and recited back and forth.[3]
