Dear Gopal Garu,

 

Im sorry to hear this news.

 

" SHUCHIRVAAPI ASHUCHIRVAAPI KAALAM SANDHYAM SAMAACHARETH!! "

Whether in purity or in impurity one should not forget to do sandhyA worship.

 

Please refer to my older postings(especially message number 4075)where

everything has been clearly explained.

 

sandhyAvandana is a nithykarmA and is souchA or asouchA does not affect its

doing or non-doing.We do not stop to brush our teeth or take bath because of

asouchA, do we?{(unless maybe it is the loss of someone very very dear;even

here,life goes on after sometime(smashAnavAirAgyA)}

 

Mourning is for the mind;impurity is for the body

The soul is eternally pure.And a nithyakarmA like sandhyAvandana is tied to the

soul,for its unfolding.

 

Recently my beloved maternal uncle expired(he was a noble soul) and yet I did an

extra round of gayathrI and panchadasi for his sake.After 10 days,I had a vision

early morning in which I saw him(his AthmA with the subtle koshA) climb down the

steps of his house and transmigrate to my room and thank me profusely and

lovingly for the mantra recitation for his sake.He blessed me too.I really doubt

whether even his son(who does not do even sandhyavandana on ordinary days) was

blessed with such a vision

 

When a nithya ritual is neglected impurity shrouds the soul too and the ember of

divinity tended carefully gets dulled.

 

During this mourning-time too one can do fully the sandhyAvandana and there is

nothing in the sruthis(vedas) which forbid(although smurhtis differ)anyone to do

sandhyAvandanA during asouchA period.

 

However, traditionally one does during mruthAsouchA

 

argyam, 3 Pranayamas and 12 Gayathri and end with Gayathri upasthanam.

(Some do till tarpanA and 28 gayathrI repetitions)

 

The above exception is because due to immense grief if the person is not able to

do nithyakarmA,then an abrdiged form is given.

 

However, I would say if sandhyAvandana is fully done,then the gods and

pithrudevathAs bless you and your bAbAi and thus you can ensure,if you really

care for his soul,a safe passage(for his soul) into higher divine realms by

praying gayatrI mAthA loving and earnestly for the same.Isn't your bAbAi

befitting this small labor(labour) of love?

 

With this I rest this thread.I leave it to you to decide.

My deepest condolences and prayers during this period of grief are with you.

 

AthmasanhithA de'vi!

Don't apply bhasma mixed with water. Apply dry bhasma on your forehead.

 

Perform achamana, sankalpa normally as you do. Do the marjana, arghya pradana

and gayatri tarpana. Rest of the rituals are prohibited.

Namaste

There are reservations for the word PROHIBITED. Because only the Kriya Vidhana

(Doing it in the Normal Method ) for the rest of the ritual's is Restricted and

is supposed to be done in Maanasika Vidhana (Doing the parayana of Dhyanam and

Mantra Japa in our mind itself) . Here the rule of not using the tongue for

chanting the Mantra's is supposed to be strictly followed.
