importance of arghya in Sandhya

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

Arghya pradana forms an important aspect in Sandhya. During sutaka also, one

is advised to perform sandhya till Arghya pradana and rest of rituals are

mentally visualized.

 

Its reference is found in Veda also where Prajapathi gives the boon to

Mandehas which is well known to the members. The Arghya with Gayatri becomes

the Brahmastra and overthrows the demons during the tough fight with the Surya.

This ritual bestows the Divine Strength to the Upasaka and solace to the Parama

Purusha who is present in the solar orbit. The Arghya Pradana increases the

Virya (Vital Energy in the form of Prana Shakti) in the Upasaka as the Sun is

the presiding deity of Prana.

 

Varuna is the presiding deity of Apana and hence the Evening Sandhya with

Arghya bestows strength and pushti to the Apana in the Upasaka.

 

Arghya to the Surya is prescribed for every hindu whether one has adhikara or

not. There is a purana gayatri which is the sloka “yO dEvas savitA……..tat

varENyam upAsmahEâ€. Uttering these mantras, one should offer the arghya 3

times daily without fail.

 

With regards,

sriram
