Question related to sandhyAvandnam.

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees:

 

I have a doubt regarding the rules for performing sandhyAvandanam

during ASaucam (teeTTu). For instance if there is death in the

family, during this time do we continue to perform nitya karmA-s, or

do we perform only some parts of it? Information on the above will

be very much appreciated.

Dear Bhagavatas:

Sri Ramachandran is correct. Sandhyavandanam should never be missed under any

circumstances because it is a "Nitykarma". No compromise is allowed like

observing a part etc as suggested by some.In the circumstances stated by Sri

Krishnamachariar Swami, if this could not be observed immediately, one must and

should clear the arrears later, on the same day as soon as possible after taking

bath or the next day with the Sankalpam "Poorvedhyu: ananushTitam (Praatah

Sandhya / MaadhyahmikaSandhya / Saayam Sandhya, as the case may be) adhya aham

KarishyE".

This is what Acharyas have advised during AnushTaana Grantha KaalakshEpams.

Respected Sir:

 

The Sanskrit prefix is clear, it is "nitya" i.e forever until one's last

breath. Sandhya is perhaps the only karma which does not get impacted due

to 'teetu' and rites/rituals and 'impure' periods occasioned by death etc.

IT HAS TO BE DONE COME RAIN OR SHINE.

Sri Rama Jayam

 

I recently came across an article regarding

Sandhyavandanam and Gayathri japam, where Sri Abhinava

Vidya Teertha Mahaswamigal of Sringeri Sharada Peetham

had spoken in great detail about the nityakarma. He

says that Sandhyavandanam has to be performed everyday

without fail at any cost. In addition, he says the

Arghyapradanam is the most important part next only to

the Gayathri japam part. Also, I remember to have read

elsewhere that during the latter half of

Sandhyavandanam (i.e., the japam and the sankalpam and

nyasam for it), mantrams pertaining to that part have

to be recited within the mind during times of

Asoucham.

Sudarshan Iyer
