[Krishna Kalale] Dear sridhar,
I will not go into the other questions you have posed and I will leave it
to knowledgeable people on the net. I think one should learn "Rudram" as a
part of "vedadhyayana" or learning other suktas and mantras. From the
Visistadvaitic perspective "Rudram" refers to Rudra's antaryami who is
srimannarayana. In fact a portion of Rudram is recited in shraddha karma
by all. I have noticed that many " srivaishnavas dont know rudram and keep
MUM when they are supposed to chant it. If you are teaching other mantras
also to others, then in addition, if you teach rudram it is fine. One
should learn rudram also in addition to other parts of vedas. We should
keep in our mind that it refers to the antaryami of Rudra. That's all.
Vedadhyayanam is some thing many people have forgotten. It is one of the
important duties of anyone with an "yajnopavita"..
