Guest guest Posted November 4, 1995 Report Share Posted November 4, 1995 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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."
