Dear Bhagavatas: Sri Ramachandran is correct. Sandhyavandanam should never be missed under any circumstances because it is a "Nitykarma". No compromise is allowed like observing a part etc as suggested by some.In the circumstances stated by Sri Krishnamachariar Swami, if this could not be observed immediately, one must and should clear the arrears later, on the same day as soon as possible after taking bath or the next day with the Sankalpam "Poorvedhyu: ananushTitam (Praatah Sandhya / MaadhyahmikaSandhya / Saayam Sandhya, as the case may be) adhya aham KarishyE". This is what Acharyas have advised during AnushTaana Grantha KaalakshEpams. Dasoham Anbil Ramaswamy ============================================================================= Respected Sir: The Sanskrit prefix is clear, it is "nitya" i.e forever until one's last breath. Sandhya is perhaps the only karma which does not get impacted due to 'teetu' and rites/rituals and 'impure' periods occasioned by death etc. IT HAS TO BE DONE COME RAIN OR SHINE. Om tat sat Tat tvam asi "champakam" <champakam@yahoo To: SriRangaSri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .com> cc: Subject: [SriRangaSri] Question related to sandhyAvandnam. 09/19/04 06:59 AM Dear Devotees: I have a doubt regarding the rules for performing sandhyAvandanam during ASaucam (teeTTu). For instance if there is death in the family, during this time do we continue to perform nitya karmA-s, or do we perform only some parts of it? Information on the above will be very much appreciated. -dAsan Krishnamachari Yahoo! Groups Links ------------------------ Yahoo!
