Guest guest Posted August 21, 2002 Report Share Posted August 21, 2002 SrI: SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah: Dearest Srivaishnavas, Please be advised that the upAkarmA procedure is available on line at URL: http://www.munitrayam.org/andavanashram/NewFrame.htm Thanks to Sri Anbil mAmA for giving his permission to have his excellent write up. Let us take a pledge on this day to do regularly trikAla sandhyAvandhanam without fail. SandhyAvandhanam is performed even by Chathur mukha bramhA, Rudran and VishNu. Sri Rama and Lakshmana too were reported to have performed the same daily three times without fail. Maharishis. Sagess, Srivaishnava saints, have all been prforming the same. It is one of the mandatory nithya karmAs that need to be performed. Sages have glorified the Gayatri mantra which is the heart of SandhyAvandhanam. The whole process is only a prelude and purification to do this Gayatri japa and there is no short cut like just doing japam is fone and why should one do the argyam, anganyAsa, karanyAsa etc.. This is the protocol per saasthrAs and we need to abdie by the same. It involves the sankalpam, and purifying ourselves to bring us up to the leve in order to perform the Gayatri japa. H.H Srimad Pundareekapuram Andavan had once said (during Chilaarai Rahasyam kaalakeshEpam) "even one is in unconscious state, and is not able to perform any nithya karmas, (sandhyavandhanam), and if one wants to help him and do something to him, he can simply perform sandhyavandhanam (thrikaalam) for the patient also, additionally and separately. That is the greatest help one can do. Swami always talks about the essentiality of performing sandhyavandhanam, without which whatever one does - be it 106 Divya Desam visits, or 108 pradhakshinam of PerumAL Koil, it will not equal. All Vaishnavites should be firm in their understanding of saasthrAs that they should never abstain from doing the most essential basic nithya karma i.e. sandhyAvandhanam. This MahAchAryan always advises those who come to the Ashramam not to leave this nithyakarmA. One who does not do sandhyAvandhanam and who has stopped doing the same, gets deprived of and disqualified from doing any vaidIka karma afterwards. He cannot even enter the temple. He has nithya theettu. He becomes karma chaNDALan. He becomes dirty forever. There is also a board that pierces our conscience and advises firmly, saying: “I have performed sandhyAvandhanam. Only after performing sandhyAvandhanam, I am entering into this place” This is an excellent strategy (which is currently being followed in most of first class Management Schools.. as Leadership covenants.. and Quality Policy etc.. AchAryan has done it by displaying this board what cannot be done even by saying hundred times, by letting their conscience speak to him.
