Guest guest Posted December 17, 2001 Report Share Posted December 17, 2001 Pamho. AGTSP. I was browsing through the Srivaisnava web sides and found an interesting article which gives evidence that Srila Prabhupada followed and ancient sistem and didn't invent something new for preaching purposes. Or even Gaudiya Vaisnavas questioning why SP did this. Maybe some already read this, I found it still worth of posting. ------ It is also said that every body was prescribed to sandhayvandanas in the golden times, for women one of the smritis is supposed to have these: purA- kalpe kumArINAm maunjI-bandhananam-Ihyate adhyApanam cha vEdAnAm sAvitri-vachanam thathA. In olden times the upanayana was performed for the girls too. They were taught the Vedas and the gAyatri mantra. It was probably in the medieval ages that things went bad in the society, there are some rAmayaNa versions which quote Sita chanting Gayatri.
