books on srivaishnava practices

[Guest guest]

I recently had my upanayanam. I am looking

for yajur veda srivaishnava sandhya vandanam

and other books on related practices like

parishyajanam, pranayamam etc. I found a

couple of books in Vijayawada on Yajur veda

sandhyavandanam but they are the smartha

style ones.

 

Can you let me know where in US can I

obtain/purchase some resources on Sri

Vaishnava brahmachari practices and Daily

routine (Dinacharya)?

Dear Sri Vijay,

 

While, ideally, it is best to learn Ve:dic rituals such as the sandhya

vandanam directly from a teacher, copies of the sandhya vandanam are readily

available on-line and in paper format. Here are a few options:

 

*A cd-rom version of the sandhya vandanam in accordance with SriVaishnava

samprada:yam has been published under the auspices of HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar

Swamy. You can order it directly from www.radioramanuja.com

 

*A copy of the text with instructions is available in Telugu, Tamil,

Sanskrit, and Transliterated text:

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/2627/ The site includes anna

parise:shanam manras, as well, along with upa:karma and other related

rituals. Please note that additions have been made to the basic text to

reflect the practices of the followers of Sri Ahobila Mutham.

 

*Finally, I have a copy of a rare, out-of-print version of the basic

SriVaishnava sandhya vandanam that was written by the noted scholar, Sri S.

Satyamurthy Ayyangar. The text is in Sanskrit with English transliteration

and commentary. Please send me a personal e-mail, if interested, and I would

be happy to mail you a copy.

 

With regards to other SriVaishnava recitation, a CD of Pra:tas smarani:yam

can also be ordered from Radio Ramanuja.

 

At this time, I am not aware of an online or book version of the brahmachari

ho:mam or other Ve:dic rituals that is available here in the US. Perhaps,

others could provide their input on this.

 

I hope this helps.
