Why do kaalatitha dosha prayaschitta arghyam

[Guest guest]

Sri Krishna KaLale raised a very interesting question. If there is a Sun Raise

(and Set) at all time points at some place or the other on our planet, why do

Kaalatitha dosha prayachitta arghyam?

 

This would be like asking, why turn on the light because there is Sun raise

(and set) all the time (Sun raise overrides the darkness of Sun set).

 

I think we are talking with respect to our particulat location. This is true

for pretty much anything we follow.

 

I also believe the Sandhyavandanam is more for us than for the Sun.

It is our own Mandehaaruna - the Rajas & Thamas. We want ourself to raise in

Satva, live in it and set in it. But second law of Thermodynamics threatens

this state of Satva. It has to be constantly renewed. We do it three times in

a given day (thri kaala sandhyas). The position of the three junctions of time

apparent to us in the sky (by the apparent position of Sun) is a point of

reminder. These times are very for a given place. Any deviation from

recharging at those points

calls for Prayaschittam. Just like if you ignore to cut your grass on time,

you work a little harder to get the same result.

 

Of course this is my version - no authority whatsoever.
