Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 Dear most respected members : The same Purva acharyas and elders have also stressed that this gyanam flowers naturally only with the help of Karmaanushtanams and hence the supreme importance of Sandhyavandanam. It is only by constant meditation on the Gayathri and other namaas enshirned in the Sandhya process that vivekam and gyanam spontaneously bursts forth and starts manifesting in various aspect of our daily material and spiritual lives. Mere acquisition of gynam without physical, mental, spiritual and devouted demonstrated practices/acts/rituals/rites will have the tendency of pursuing knowledge for its sake this is ultimately likely to delude us in the long run. Hence the Purvaacharyas have stressed that at 7 before the boy's tender mind gets filled with knowledge of the senses and material world, the Gayathri has to be installed into the boy's mind so that he BLINDLY performs the karma part i.e physical/external act of getting up at the right time, and chanting and doing the Sandhya. A loss of even 2 years is considered quite distastrous for the boy's mental state. Please excuse this writer for any errors.

Yes. I am also not comfortable with that shoe comparison. My concern was primarily about the comparison of AzwArs with others and quoting VEdAnta-viruddha darSanams and stressing sandyA vandanam. First of all, the SandyA vandanam, which is a must is a form of worshiping SrIman nArAyaNan. The name sandyA itself denotes SrIman nArAyaNan. This has been explained in our pUrvAchArya Aahnika grantams. To be very clear, let me state that I am NOT condemning other darSanams. But the comparisons made are not appropriate. Further, mere karmAnushTAnam without jgnyAnam is debatable. The dharma is known only through SAstra and not by mere-anumAnam. SandyA vandanam is not a remote anushTAnam.
