Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Dear devotees, Here is the sandhyavandanam according to Atharva veda tradition. I have read sandhyavandana kramam for Rig/Yajus/Sama vedas as they are widely known and published. This is from my friend who is a trivedi who comes from a family of Brahma priests (Atharva-vedins in a shrauta sacrifice).
