Respected Sirs: Incidentally, some of the elders have put this succinctly :alpa prayatnam, anantha phalam i.e. one does not require anything for Sandhya, the barest minimum available freely (air, water,mud-earth, one's breath - prana) may be easily availed and the ritual gone thru. No elaborate vessels, flowers, decoration items etc. No great effort also is needed, no great philosophical discussions or rationale analysis, theories,knowledge, special learning, time, energy etc. nothing is needed. In short alpa prayatnam. But the fruits ? Without asking it is a virtual bounty. Marval at the strange twist of words the elders have used "Anantha phalam". Who is this 'anantha' other than our most beloved of all Shriman Narayanan ? And since HE is limitless - anantha, without end, extending even unto infinity, the fruits which are bestowed by HIM are also equally plenty and never ending. Nowhere, in no other worship, prayer, ritual, chanting can such an extraordinary set of simplistic benefits be seen. Bare minimum effort and unlimited benefits - alpa prayatnam, anantha phalam Om tat sat tat tvam asi Sundar Raghavan <ksundarjee@yaho To: Karthik Ragavan <karthikri@xxxxxxxxx>, o.com> SriRangaSri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx cc: 09/21/04 11:15 Subject: Re: [SriRangaSri] Re: Question related to AM sandhyAvandnam Dear Bhagavathas, What Ramachandran Swami said is correct. This is "Nithya" Karma. Even if you travel full day and not able to take bath or no water available you have to do sandhyavandham by "Mathra Snanam" and "by air do Achamanam and Arkyam" and do Japam. I didn't find in the book (or) told by our Anchestors, that we have to do Gayathri Japam only 10 times during "Theetu" period. Whatever we do daily japam same thing should continue in those period. Nithya Karma is just like our "Swasham" or "Breath". We will not stop our swasham during "theetu" period. If anybody feels this is wrong pls forgive me and request to provide the clarification. It will help us to update our knowledge. Daasan KLK Thathachari ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads. Yahoo! Companion Toolbar.
