Namaste to the whole Os.me family
In this post I want to share How I learnt Shiv Tandav Stotram at my own.
When I heard Shiv Tandav for the first time, I felt very happy. I liked its rhythm and pace very much. After listening 2 or 3 versions of different singers, I got curious to learn and sing it.
Then I started trying to memorize and sing it. Initially only focused on first two verses and tried to sing with a flow and accurate pronunciation. I never compromised with the quality of pronunciations. Even in school, I broke up my friendship with a guy because he pronunciated my name wrongly only for saving time. Oh, leave that knowledgeless nonsense.
By practicing regularly with dedication I memorized all the verses and singing also became better. This was how I learnt it. Now the key points for you too-
- Recite words as they are written without adding or leaving any, this will be helpful to get a good rhythm.
- Practice singing verses one by one.
- Try learning the words by writing down on paper.
- Learning will be easy with after reading meaning of these verses, it can be found on internet. Beacause of too much length, I didn’t put in this post.
