On Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam Parayanam - Please Advice

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

I am currently going through a confusion on lalitha sahasranamam(LS)

parayanam. I have heard from a Shri Vidya Upasaka that if a brahmin

does not do sandhya vandanam before reading lalitha sahasranamam then

just reading sahasranamam will be of no use.

 

I really love reading LS. I thoroughly enjoy it and it keeps me in

peace. I have a very big problem of taking any decision as I am never

sure which decision is correct and also have issue on sticking to it.

 

But LS has a calming effect on me and really want it to benefit for me

more than calming effect and give me fruits as mentioned in its phala

shruti(sorry for being result oriented). But i am not really inclined

to do sandhya vandanam i feel bored to do it and i am not able to work

it out. But when i found LS I was so happy and was reading it daily for

2 - 3 months... But now after getting this information i feel sad. Felt

like why did i even got this information.

 

Please help and advice. I want to read LS daily. And what is the right

way of doing its parayanam.

 

Regards,

Santosh.

Sir, doing sandhya vandhana is duty ordained with every bhrahmin-by

doing sandha vandhana no one is supposed to expect any special good

as it is part of his duty-by doing it or not doing it the results

may be different-even by uttering any word " RAM " " NAMASIVA " Etc.

repeatedly will not be a substitute for doing sandhya vandana as the

same is one's duty-BUT doing or not doing Sandhaya Vandana will not

stand in any way doing LALITHA SAHASRANAMA PARAYANA-I have heard

some Srividhia Upasakas utter only Devi Mahamanthras alone after

uttering Gayathri Mahamantra few times-Arkim etc., stated in the

Sandhaya Vandana are not properly followed-it is only " SHE THE

SUPREME DIVINE " TO DECIDE AND NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE NOT ANY HUMAN

SAINTS-This is my humble view.

Hi Shri kamapurni,

 

I understand your point of view. But as it is also said that Sandhya

Vandanam is to be done three times in a day, which currently I

believe is not possible for me because of my current lifestyle as I

am out for office from 8:00AM to 10:00PM. I am maximum able to

perform Morning Sandya, but not at all able to do Afternoon and

Evening Sandhya.

 

My concern is performing monring sandya and then reading Lalitha

Sahasranamam will thats be good enough to provide desired results

(Pardon me once again for being materialistic) and obtain Devi's

Grace? Is this vidhi correct for LS parayanam?

 

Regards.

Sir, yes you may do parayanam as that has nothing to

do with sandhaya vandhana which is every one's duty-

In this regard I wish to say what I read it from

Agnikakandam - a book on Sasthras long time back - as

per the said book even while you are away where you

can not get water for arkiam or do arkim with pancha

pathram or other vessel, still you may say sandhaya

vandana manthra within yourself (within our mind) and

imagine of doing arkim with water-you can be able to

do Gayathri japam as much time as you can-even after

late arrival to your home you can do sayam sandhya as

the sastras accept it-that is why the term " kalatheera

prayachithartham arkim karishye " is made by rishees

who had anticipated these probabilities on those

days-I cite these view on the basis of " A Very old

text of Agnihakandam " book once leased by Veda

Samasthana Padasala. This is my humble view on the

basis of sastra text and if you get any other contrary

view plese enlighten me the same-thank you

First of all I apologise for a late reply.

A Brahmin Vatu is ordained/empowered to perform Sandhyavandana after his

Brhamopadesam.

 

However, if you read the Sandhyavandana book,while it says that Sandhya should

be performed thrice a day, it also gives a way out when it says that one can

carry-on without perfoming Sandhya when one is travelling, out of

station(house)etc.

So what is the way out?. First, it says you can combine the morning,afternoon

and evening Sandhya into one. If you cannot do that, then just do Japaa of

Gayatri!.

 

For the last 30 years, I have not stepped-out of the house without doing Gayatri

Japaa in the morning 10 times. It gives a feeling of security and empowerement.

Please note that doing Gayatri Japaa along with any other pooja of whichever

deity of your choice greatly enhances the effect of your Sadhana.

 

Lastly, even from a logical point of view, compulsion of Sandhya is not there as

otherwise non-brahmins simply cannot perform any Aradhana.

Hi there

One can do Sandhya in the morning. Immediately after morning Sandhya, one can do

the Maadhyaahnikam (afternoon one) because we offer praayaschitta

oblation-arghyam. EveningSandhya can be done upto 11.40 pm. If it gets later

than this, next morning before taking bath, one can perform previous evening's

Sandhya with praayaschittaarghya, take bath thereafter and do that morning's

Sandhya.

 

People who go to work very early in the morning can combine afternoon procedure

with evening Sandhya.

 

As rightly pointed out, when one is travelling, say, by train for more than one

day, one should do at least japam. Anyone for whom Sandhyavandanam is ordained,

must do this and gayatri japa before doing any devata-upasana, puja etc. There

are no such restrictions for thoise for whom Sandhyavandanam is not ordained.

 

10 gayatri is the very very minimum. Better to do 24, 32 or 64 if not 108. By

tradition, we do 108 in the morning, 32 for Maadhyaahnikam and 64 for Saayam

Sandhyaa.

 

I am aware a lot many people who have got brahmopadesam do not do Sandhyaa at

all for years together. Upaneetaanaam dwijaanaam Sandhyaavandanam

anivaryakaaryam. Aasoucha kaale-api Sandhyopaasanaa kartarvyaa eva.

Keedrshenaapi praayaschittena sandhyavandana-akarana-durita-nivrttir-durlabhaa

eva. Bhavatu-evam, aadyandina-vartamaanam drshtwa tu, yaavat-shakti,

yathaa-shakti, yathaa-kathaapi, Sandhyaavandana-japa-nityapuja-aadi-kaarye

shraddhayaa prayuktasya pravrttasya shlaaghaa kartavyaa iti moorkhasya mama

matih.
