SrI:
SrImathE Gopaladesika mahadesikaya namah:

Dearest Srivaishnavas,

adiyEn's two cents worth: This is based on adiyen's discussion on 
the subject with vidwAn Sri ANC Swami of Srirangam few years ago:

Sri ANC Swamin is retired Principal residing at Srirangam. His jnAna 
vairgAya, anushtAnam is seen to be believed.
Swamy gets up in the wee hours- goes to kollidam; comes back, does 
his anushthAnams namely, prAtha sandhyavAndhanam, japams, brahma 
yagnam and others- takes kalakshepam for his few sishyas on 
rahasyams, at about 11 30- 12 noon he performs madhyAnikam, and then 
ThiruvarAdhanam which goes on till about 2 - 2.30 p.m. Swamy then 
takes bhagavath prasAdham for antharyaami - and he does not eat 
anything nor drink (milk) before. 

Swamy - when asked by adiyEn- that adiyEn does prAtha 
sandhyAvandhanam and madhyAnikam, ArAdhanam before going to the 
office - all by 7 a.m- and sought his response if it is correct.

Swamy said, "it is first ok to do that for office goes and students."
No doubt- prAthas sandhyAvandhanam is to be started before the sun 
rise; madhyAnikam when the Sun is straight above your head (sukram 
uccharath...) about 12 noon and evening saayam sandhyAvandhanam by 6 
p.m befroe the sun sets.. [it is also referred to as kaaNaamal; 
kONAmal and kaNdu... ] 

However, if one misses to do prAthas sandhyAvandhanam before the Sun 
rise, he has to perform kaalaadheethapraayaschitthra argyam.

if one misses to do madhyAnikam before 12 noon- he has to do 
praayaschittha argyam (not the one who does before 12 noon - so even 
if performed at 7 a.m - it is within the norm - as per Swami.. ]

saayam- if one does after sun set- praayaschitthra argyam needs to 
be offered.

Swami is writing a very exhasutive and elabrative ahnikam vyAkhyanam 
in simple tamil based on thirukkudanthai Desikan Ahnikam. Awaiting 
its release..

It is an attempt that is important first. Make a humble good 
beginning and Bhagawaan and Acharya's anugraham would put you on 
right track.  

Also, the good, user friendly, simple to read- easy to follow- 
repeating the Achamanam, praNAyaamam every time so that one need not 
refer back to first pages- is all housed in the wonderful 
sandhyAvandhanam book released by Srimad Poundarikapuram Swami. 
those who wish to obtain, please write to me and I can arrange to 
send. They are available in Srirangam, Bangalore, Chennai. 

There is also a very good book in all languages (Kannada, Tamil and 
english). One can get this Sandhyavandanam book (Actually it is the 
realease from thillaistanam svami kaimkarya sabha and published by 
nrusimhapriya trust.

Trust this helps
Regards
