Some others have offered useful suggestions to deal with the subject. Sri V. Sadagopan Swami has offered to provide us with a DVD prepared under the personal supervision of asmad Achaaryan Srimad Andavan of Poundarikapuram Swami Asramam, Srirangam. We did not expect that the subject would evoke so much spontaneous response among so many readers. We are beholden to all of them and offer our sincere thanks for the encouragement. Several other Bhagavatas who had many questions in their mind but were either afraid or shy of asking have shot a volley of queries in the spirit of Lord KrishNa's dictum " Tad viddhi pratipaatEna pariprasnEna sEvayaa/ " . (BG IV 34) For example, • One not belonging to the " TraivarNikas " who says that he had his " BharNyaasam " at the feet of Azhagiyasinghar has asked whether any alternative was available for him to observe SV. • Another one has sent a mail attaching the text of SV by Smaartas. • Yet another has asked for coaching in Rik and Saama Veda procedures. • Some have sought further clarifications on topics already dealt with in the earlier issue. (SRS Vol.7-39). Though we cannot claim by any means to be either " Jnaani " or " Tattva Darsi " in terms of KrishNa's second part of the slOka quoted above - " upadEkshyanti tE Jnaanam jnaaninah Tattva darsinah// " , we are tempted to provide answers to the best of knowledge and understanding, based on the inputs received during the kaalakshEpams on AnushTaana grantams at the feet of revered Achaaryas. We are surprised that many more young and old (some in their fifties and sixties of age) have come up in the open to honestly acknowledge that they were remiss in doing this Nitya-karma over the years and request to be taught again. When the Upanayanam investiture is made, a Brahmachaari is said to become a (Dvi-ja) meaning " Twice-born " . The surge of interest exhibited by these aspirants for " Re-Initiation " would seem to generate a new genre that could be rightfully knighted as " Tri-ja " (Thrice- born)! --\ ------------ IN THIS ISSUE SANDHYAA VANDANAM -– Part 2 - 2 FAQs AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF VARIOUS OBSERVANCES IN " SANDHYAAVANDANAM " (ANBIL RAMASWAMY) --\ ------------ The following questions were raised and answered: --\ ----------- Q11. Are there any benefits in doing SV, other than those mentioned in answer to Q 3? Q.12. How to make sure that these benefits actually accrue? Q.13.
