Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Dear Pt arjun, As i know women can also recite Gayithri mantra and all Mantras have to be initated be mother, father or a guru or some elder person [not older but elder] women have to avoid it as they do in other cases durign periods else no ban if Gayathri mata isa women and women beig forbidden doesnt mae sense they need only yo avoid the 5 days. My 1/3 sister do and th eone who dies it iis most balanced, affectionate, resolute, decessive, well respected in all our circles. than the other 2 was taugh thsi by a Guru. I picked up Gayathri mantra recital from a `womens colege magazine' later a book on Gayihri by Adyar Library has several other variations-vishnu,shiva, gaoapathi gayithris etc' only a few yrs alter I had my formal thread ceremony. after reciting Gayithri only did i get interest in astrology in 81-82, now i manage just 1 sandha vandana but for best results 2 hrs before sunrise u get 400% benifit 1 hr before 200% at sunrise 100% after sunrise less, but some thing is there. left to users to use the sacred Brahmi Muhurtha and get max value from Gayithri devi any study, reading work, undertaken in Grahmi Muhurtha is more rewarding in success rate so students studying for exams late nites r not good but early morn Brahmi muhurthas are good that is 3.45 am o 5.45 am best wishes Prashant 28/7 , "panditarjun2004" <panditarjun2004 wrote: > > dear friends > > sandhya vandanam is an exercise in which a series of things are done > including gayatri mantra recital to make the native busy in > meditation during the entire period of around one and half hours > preceding sunrise in the morning after sunset in the evening, > because during this time sun and stars are not visible. shivapuran > suggests that if a person fails to do sandhavandanam, as a > prayaschit he can recit increased count of gayatri mantra japam. of > late this repenetance is construed as a relaxaion and people have > started advocating gayatri mantra recital in lieu of the entire > sandhya vandanam. even though this is not the principle i too > support mere recital of gayatri for all those who cannot do > sandhyavandanam, because something is better than nothing. > > gayathri mantra recital can be done by all humans of all religions > and castes alike without any restriction. no negative result or bad > karma or bad side affects by reciting gayatri. > > however, sandhya vandanam is a lengthy series of exerices which, if > to be done in totality, are to be learnt at the time of upanayana > samskaram. there are some shankaracharya and other swamijis who > teach this freely to all people in their temples and ashrams in some > cities. in those auspicious premises, even vedas and sanskrit is > taught to any intersted person freely without any consideration of > caste and religion. most of the vedas and other classics are > tranlsated into english by westerns and all of us refer them with > respect. from childhood i have been using only the C.P.Brown > lexicon for sanskrit to english or english to sanskrit. hence there > is no bad karma or negative result fear for anyone doing these holy > rituals. > > decades ago, only men used to inherit the wealth but now the > government amended the laws removing the gender bias and even > females inherit wealth equally along with thier male counterparts. > the rootcause of all confusion is because all social practices under > the purview of the government have been amended but the vedas, > puranas, smiritis, upanishads etc. cannot be amended as they have > already given a provision to consider the prevailing desha, kala, > vartamana.. > > with best wishes > pandit arjun > > > , K Gopu <kgopu_24@> wrote: > > > > dear sri ganesh, > > I am fully aware that only after brahma upadesam this > > ritual has to be performed.
