Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Three doubts about sandhya vandanam: Only Narayana was present at the begining... From Narayana Brahma was born... From Brahma Rudra was born... The lineage is clear. Narayana is the progenitor of progenitor, Brahma, of whose forehead Rudra was begat. During sandhya vandanam before gayathri avahanam stotras are done to 1. Brahma as a kumari on a Hamsa vahana in the morning, 2. Rudra as yuvathi at noon on Vrsha vahana and 3. Vishnu as an old lady, vrddha in the evening on Garuda vahana. Here the well setablished order seems to be distorted as the younger Rudra is considered as a young woman where as the elder Brahma is a mere girl. Should it not have been Rudra as kumari and Brahma as yuvathi? Vishnu as vrddha is ok. What is the answer to this apparent distortion? What is the correct explanation for the dilemma of a prapanna who has to worship Rudra and Brahma during sandhya vandanam which cannot be relinquished at any cost? If the answer is that the prapanna is supposed to worship the antaryami Narayana in these deities then why not do that pleasent duty directly? If this is sanctioned then why cant the prapanna woship all deities using the same method? Geethacharya has unamibguously said that He should be resorted to directly. Is there a different version of sandhya vandanam for prapannas? I humbly request some knowledgable person to clarify.
