Sandhya Vandhanam

[Guest guest]

Dear Vasu Vadhyar swamin

 

Adiyen Srinivasa Dasan Namaskarams

 

1. Most of the snadhyavandhanam books mention about doing Deva Rishi Kaanda

rishim Pithru tharpanam and Brahma Yagnam,as a daily routine. But as I have

observed Most of the people do not do this. Is it necessary that it is done

daily?

 

Another doubt on the same subject

 

2. Before Gayathri Japam every day performing Nyasam is mentioned. Hereagain

most of the people do not do this. Is it necessary that these are done daily.

1.

I remember a (practical) joke, (sorry for using a joke for example)

 

Once (in 1970s) a cyclist was caught by a police man for not having a bell in

his cycle.

The police man asked the cyclist,

" Why you are not having bell in your cycle? "

The cyclist replied :

" See sir, many people are not having a cycle at all,

you are blaming me for not having a small part, bell " ?

The police man laughed and left that cyclist without punishing.

Let it be.

You may think, in what way this joke is having connection with your question.

 

Braham Yagnam, Rushi tharpanam, Pithru tharpanam, Vasthra nishpeedanam,

Oupaasanam, sthaaleebhagam, vaisvadevam there are so many parts in the

nithyaanushtanam of a brahmin.

But Sandhya Vandhanam is the main part like a cycle for a cyclist.

All other parts of nithya karmas are almost left by most of the anushtaathas.

If one can do all the things listed in the nithya anushtana kramam it is great

actually.

 

2. Nyasam is compulsory for Gayathri japam.

Dear Sri Narayanan swamin,

 

Some time back Sri NVS swAmin had provided the manthrams for brahma

yagnam. The message will be in the archives I think under " brahma

yagnam " .

 

If I may reproduce here what he taught, it is very simple, from

what I remember:

 

1. Sankalpam ( " shri.... priityartham, brahma yagnam karishye, brahma

yagnena yakshye " )

 

2. Recite " vidyudasi vidyame paapmaanam rutaat satyam upaimi " while

wiping the palms with a little water. Then touch eyes, nose, ears (as

in the first part of aachamanam) and finally chest. Then keep the

hands in the position we normally use for saying sankalpa.

 

3. Recite any portion of vedam known

 

4. To finish, recite the following veda manthram 3 times:

 

" om namo brahmane namo astvagnaye namah pruthivyai nama oshadheebhyah

namo vaache namo vaachaspataye namo viShNave bruhate karomi " (x3)

 

5. Finally recite " vrushtirasi vrushchame paapmaanam rutaat satyam

upaagaam " and again wipe the palms with water.

 

6. Finish as for other karmas.

 

I request Sri NVS swAmin or the other learned members to correct

any mistakes.

 

praNAmams,

namo naaraayaNaaya
