Hello friends,

 

I am wondering if any one in this group can enlighten me

about the purpose of doing Sandhyaavandhanam ? What is its

significance ? I have been doing it all these days without really

understanding the pupose or its significance i guess !

 

Thanks to Sunder Kidambi for posting the Sudharshaanastakam

in Devanagari script. I also enjoyed studying the meaning for the

same, posted by Dr. V.Sadagopan in the Sri Vaishnava Home Page.

 

Thanks,

Govindarajan

I heard somewhere that the morning/noon/evening prayers were to

request the Divine Being to grant one the ability to focus on the

study of Sastras/Vedas, which was to follow the morning and noon

prayers, and to initiate the nightly prayers that were to be performed

following the evening Sandhya. As to why they are to be done just

before eating meals, I am at a loss at an explanation. I'm sure the

knowledgeable ones in the group can provide answers and corrections to

what I just wrote.

 

On another vein, what exactly is the significance of the Urdhvapundra

(I think that is the same as the Thiruman and Srichurnam) ? I recall

reading a message a while back about the significance of the "pottu"

or "bottu", but that did not discuss the meaning of the "two white

lines and red/orange line in between."

 

Thanks,
