Varna Krama Patham: A very interesting and advanced technique of chanting is called varna kramam known only to highly qualified ghanapatins. Even though it sounds rather simple, it is very difficult as each word in the Vedas is slowly analysed for its deeper significance, starting from where in the body the sound originates, how it travels up through the throat and finally how the tongue is positioned to utter the holy sound. The purpose is to maintain the purity of the chanting and it is possible to ascertain very precisely whether a pundit is chanting a specific pada correctly or not. Some eminent pundits know varna kramam for every single word in the Vedas. Source: arunachalavedas.org/pdfs/Vedaparayanam.pdf https://youtube/watch?v=KbAGMtljCbg
