There seems a lot of confusion over how a Srivaishnava bramhin lived 
those days for retired people who would want to live that way.Many 
Srivaishnava books on the subjects say that you have to finish both 
sandhyavandanams before performing Thiruvaradhanai.

However in books pertaning to Sandhyavandanam it is said that the 
best time to perform madhyanikam is 12.30-1.30 PM. It would have 
taken not less then 1 -2 hours to finish the Aradhanam. Does that 
mean people had their first meal at 2 or 2.30 PM( they would get 
Ulcer fo sure).

There is also guidance that tarpanam should be performed after the 
Aradhanam that mean a further delayed first meal.

There is also a lot of confusion in the simple rituals due to 
sampardaya bheda. This like performing one pranayama and 10 chantings 
of the same as japa before embarking on Gayatri avahnam. There is 
different versions given in different books from the same Mutt or 
publications.

There are different pronounciations given for the same Vakya in 
different books from ditterent mutts and different books from the 
same Mutt.

How does one explain that. Today even brihaspathis of individual 
families seem to look more at dakshina then at teaching the correct 
mode. On questioning they further confuse you.

There is one more thing When one should recite Scriptures both for 
mokshartha and kamiArtha.

Savdyaya is described as the correct time to do the same according to 
several books from different mutts.

However i have seen several Erudite Vaishvavites perform the same as 
soon as they finish ijya aradhanam.

Is the former correct or the later?

Is there no one who can authoritativley guide us with the right 
timings and process and mantras and prayoga.

I read a book by Sri "Anna" which gives Sandyhavandanam for 
Shaivaites in a very lucid and detailed manner. It is however very 
sad that no one does the same in Sri Vaishvavisim.

There are also gaps like do we have to offer prayschita argay when we 
perfom Madyanikam in the mornings along with prathah sandya( for 
office goers).

Please do help to clarify. These doubts create a lot of pain and 
ignorance pushees one not to perform these anushtanams for fear of 
doing the wrong thing.

regards
