VIJAYADASHAMI (DUSSEHRA)

Dear SELF, VIJAYADASHAMI or DUSSEHRA is on Thursday, October 6. This is one of the most important festival celebrated all over Bharat and Bungladesh and Nepal and all over the world where Indians are living.

Please click the link below to know more about this festival

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vijayadashami

IMPORTANCE OF DASARA: During the festival of Dasara, the three Goddesses- Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati are worshipped according to certain practices. The tenth day is celebrated as the victory day.
In Dwapara Yuga, when the Pandavas had to spend a year incognito, they hid their weapons on the advice of Krishna, in a Jammi tree which is thick in foliage and whose branches are filled with latent fire. Vijayadasami was the day on which Pandavas retrieved their weapons from the tree and used them to win victory over the Kauravas.
In the Tetra Yuga, Sri Rama’s coronation after His victorious return to Ayodhya from Lanka was prepared on Vijayadasami day.
This is the day on which Shiridi Saibaba left His mortal coil and went to Mahasamadhi.

Subject: THE LAST 3 DAYS OF NAVARATRI DEDICATED MAHA SARASWATHI.


Dear SELF, We are already in the last 3 days of NAVARATRI !

Today is the most auspicious day of MOOLA NAKSHTHRA (Star) which last until 02.53 AM tomorrow Indian Standard Time which is until 10.30 PM in UK and 5.30 PM EST in America.

Let us all observe MAA SARASWATHI POOJA before the above times wherever we are by all the family which is most auspicious.

The final three nights are spent in the invocation of Goddess Saraswati. Victory over the mind can be gained only through the proper knowledge and thorough understanding; Goddess Saraswati symbolizes this highest knowledge of the Self. Lord Krishna himself says in the Bhagavad Gita: "The knowledge of the Self is the knowledge"; and He adds, "It is My vibhuti, My glory." If we do not have the knowledge of the Self, then our knowledge of all other subjects has no real worth. The knowledge of the Self that is represented by Goddess Saraswati.

Goddess Saraswati is worshipped as the bestower of true wisdom and understanding. Once the devotee has been purified by Goddess Durga and has had his vices annihilated, and once he has had the spiritual wealth of inner peace, calmness, compassion and love bestowed upon him by Maha Laxmi, then he is ready to receive the true light of understanding. This wisdom cannot come unless the devotee has passed through the first two stages. Just as one would not pour divine nectar into an unclean, broken and impure cup, one can similarly not expect to have divine wisdom granted unless the vessel has been purified and made divine
Let us concentrate these three days reading, listening & watching Ma Saraswathi without whose blessings, this most sacred life of ours has no meaning.
Let us watch/listen Ma Saraswathi's Beeja Mantra by all the family in the pradosha time (6.30 PM) all the three days by clicking the link below

IT IS A PLACE TO VISIT SOME TIME IN LIFE TO GET THE BLISS IN PERSON. We were most fortunate this holy place a few years ago which was most pleasurable.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4556081878853153384#

TEACHER'S DAY

Dear Self, After AIR, WATER & FOOD, Education is the most important for all humans without any exception. It is GURU who imparts Education. We all know this established fact no where else apart from BHARAT (INDIA).

Today is SEPTEMBER 5 and I have no doubt all of us are Indian origin one way or other should know the importance of today being TEACHER'S DAY as well as our second president of India SRI SARVEPALLI RADHA KRISHNA'S Birthday which is being celebrated as Teacher's Day all over India.

WHO IS GURU? Please click the link below to know more about Guru

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru

This is the day we all should think of our teachers in our life and we need to show our GRATITUDE to all of them what they did for us to be the way we are today.

IN MY CASE MY TELUGU TEACHER AND SPIRITUAL GURU IN OUR BHAVANAM VENKATAREDDY BOARD HIGH SCHOOL IN PRATHIPADU IN GUNTUR DISTRICT FROM MY 8 TH CLASS IN 1950'S IS A DIVINE SOUL BY NAME DEVABHAKTUNI RANGARAO GARU OF PEDAPUDI IN ANDHRA PRADESH, INDIA.

MANGALYAM (MANGALA SUTRAM)

Dear SELF, The most enjoyable thing in this creation has to be SURYA BHAGAVAN without whom nothing can happens on this globe. If anybody wakes up early morning the last at 5.00 AM daily and do whatever our rituals are and wait for the Sun raise and let it fall on the body is highly auspicious and healthy to the physical health, Mental health and even Spiritual health which is FREE OF COST!

Let us try our best to do this as much as we can and the secret is EARLY TO BED-EARLY TO RAISE!

The Shravana Masam is going to end by Monday morning at 8.07 AM Indian Standard Time. I have no doubt that all our sisters without any exception had a Blissful time wherever they are.

Among the Humans the highest, selfless souls are the FEMALES in every aspect of their life and only because of them we are blessed at least three rains in a year on this earth without which we cannot have the basic requirements of water & food.

As Men our responsibility is to respect the females in every respect throughout our living the matter what!
They always wish and pray that they want to be NITHYA SUMANGALI WHICH MEANS THEY EVEN WOULD LIKE TO DEPART FROM THE BODY WHILE THEIR LIFE PARTNERS ARE STILL ALIVE.

Is there any sacrifice greater than that? I cannot think of any. I hope that we, Men all are agreed on this.

what is this MANGALA SUTRAM OR MANGALYAM any way?

The most puzzling question we all are not clear in life is WHAT IS DHARMA?

The clearest, easiest explanation to my simple mind is WHATEVER IS SAID IN VEDAS OR MENTIONED HAS TO BE OUR DHARMA & the rest has to be Not Dharma (Adharma)

Now today's topic is: IS MANGALYAM OR MANGALA SUTRA is mentioned in Vedas or in Sastras?

If it is not in Vedas, IS IT A CUSTOM in our Sanatana Dharma?

PLEASE CLICK THE LINK BELOW TO READ THE DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THIS TOPIC AND YOU CAN GET THE ANSWER YOURSELF

SRI KRISHNA JANMASTAMI

Dear SELF, One of the most popular festival event during Chaturmasa Sravana Masam is the arrival of Sri Maha Vishnu as SRI KRISHNA to bless us all for ever.

In 2011, Sri Krishna Jayanti is marked on August 21 in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and is some parts of Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh. In North India, it is marked on August 22. The Smarta Tradition observes the festival on August 21 and the Vaishnava Tradition on August 22.

There are three different days this event is celebrated according to different belief systems.

SMARTHA SRI KRISHNASHTAMI on Sunday, August 21st

GOKULSTAMI on Monday, August 22

VAISHNAVA SRIKRISHNASTAMI on Tuesday, August 23

To understand these different sects, Please click the link below

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartism

Please click the link for various aspects of this Divine festival, please click the link below

http://festivals.iloveindia.com/janmashtmi/

The three places where this even takes place in the most pompous way has to be where Lord Krishna took birth in MADHURA, where he was brought up with His early manifestations at BRINDAVAN and of course the well known one of MokshaPuris, AYODHYA.

We were most fortunate to visit these 3 divine places some years ago which brought me the way I am today!

FOR A HINDU FEMALE the most single and the only wish is NITHYA SUMANGALI BHAVA without any exception and I am sure it is the same in every religion or faith.

The easiest way to make sure they get what they wish for is SIMPLE! Just by reciting or listening KANAKADHARA STOTRAM if possible at least once a day. Please click the link below to watch this divine message which lasts about 10 minutes with English subtitles

GURU POORNIMA-SIGNIFICANCE

Dear SELF, GURU POORNIMA falls from Thursday, July 14th from 12.45 PM to Friday, July 15th 12.08 PM and some people celebrates either ob July 14th or July 15th according to individual choice and convenience!

Undoubtedly, Guru Poornima is the most auspicious day for various reasons.
Guru is the mediator between human & Brahman, the Ultimate. If Brahman is angry Guru can protect us but if Guru gets angry even Brahman (Please do not mistake with Brahma, the creator or brahmin who happens to be born in brahmin family) cannot protect us. Such is the importance of Guru and this is the day to show our gratitude towards Guru.
From Adi Guru who is Shiva to the present Guru like Sri Bharathi Tirtha of Sringeri Sarada Peetham who is an Andhra from Guntur district! and this tradition is termed as Guru Parmapara which is one of the main features of our sacred Sanatana Dharma which is the correct description which is meant for all humanity & all the creation of both living & non-living in the planets and not Hinduism which we all know which is for only a small sect of creation. Please click the link below to read about Guru Parampara

http://www.sringeri.net/jagadgurus

This most sacred day is also named as Vyasa Poornima for what this great immortal soul has done for the humanity by dividing the eternal literature in to 4 and wrote so many things in a form understandable by every body and translated in the world languages all over the Globe and please click the two links below to know more about Veda Vyasa on

http://www.dharmakshetra.com/literature/Vyasa.htm

Other Gurus mostly thought of today is Guru Dattatreya who is the incarnation of Brahma-Vishnu-Maheswara, Sai Baba, Jesus Christ or Allah or Gautama Siddartha who became Buddha latter, or any personal Guru of your own and not the least of course our birth given Mother of all of us is the First Guru who showed us our father, Guru & then God. That is the reason we never able to pay our debt to our Mother and hence

MATRU DEVO BHAVA
PITRU DEVO BHAVA
ACHARYA (GURU) DEVO BHAVA
ATIDHI DEVO BHAVA
and then God comes which even God prefers this way!

ANTYESTI SAMSKARA

Dear SELF, The only one TRUTH we all know is those who were born on this sacred Earth, has to depart on one day without any exception. What happens to this body (temple) of ours after the soul departs from this body. The person responsible to aid this process is one's own son who is going to carry on the family tradition. That is why everybody wishes a son if possible. The last sacrament one would have is when the soul departs from this body called in Sanskrit ANTYESTISAMSKARAM (Last rites for the dead body) which is going to happen to all humans all over the globe but in Sanathana Dharma there is a process devised in Vedas/Sastras which we should all know and put it in practice. Some are more fortunate than others.

The child lives up to 22 days and on 23 rd the child declares the advent of the Almighty and dies the same day.

FATHER'S DAY ON JUNE 19, 2011

Dear SELF, There are a few persons on ones life that cannot be replaced or modified. They are Mother, Father, Brothers & Sisters.



If you want to have another wife or husband you can have if one likes but not the parents and the brothers and sisters. They are inseparable!



We all had Mother's Day in the recent past. FATHER'S DAY is on this Sunday, June 19th. This is an opportunity for all of us to appreciate what our Father did for us in his life time and wonder can we do the same if not better to our children in this so called more advanced world?



Please click the link below to read more about this most important day. PLEASE LET US NOTE THAT IT IS NOT ONLY ON FATHER'S DAY BUT EVERYDAY OF OF OUR LIFE, WE SHOULD REMIND OURSELVES EVERYDAY OF OUR LIFE.



http://www.ukbankholidaydates.co.uk/fathers_day.html



Let us read a quote whose is unknown:



Children need a Daddy
For many, many things:
Like holding them high off the ground
Where the sunlight sings!
Like being the deep music
That tells them all is right
When they awaken frantic with
The terrors of the night.



Like being the great mountain
That rises in their hearts
And shows them how they might get home
When all else falls apart.



Like giving them the love
That is their sea and air,
So diving deep or soaring high
They'll always find him there.
Author Unknown



Father's Day is a day of commemoration and celebration of Dad. It is a day to not only honour your father, but all men who have acted as a father figure in your life - whether as Stepfathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, or "Big Brothers." Father is the Best figure in anybody's life whether Alive or Not Of course Only after MOTHER.



There will be many fathers and children who are apart on this day and so will not be able to share in the joy of celebrating Father’s Day together. Those families lucky enough to be together, and who are able to make this a special day, are fortunate indeed. Who knows what the future will bring? Make a day of it - let even the youngest child make a card. It's not for long as we are growing up that we go on admitting that ‘our heart belongs to daddy.’



As children we want to give so many things to Our Fathers on Father's Day. But do we know what all Fathers would like their children to do not only on Father's day but everyday and night as along as they live in this world? Have a guess!



What all fathers like most in their lives is Your Mother! (their life partners). They always tend to worry during their lives is how your Mother is going to be looked after they leave their mortal coils in this world.



The children would appreciate this fact of life only when they become Fathers. It is the dharma (duty) of the children especially Boys to look after their Mother when your Mother is on her own, according to Her liking and Not yours or anybody else. That is the least all Fathers would like to have assurance 100% from their children on Father's Day. That is the only GIFT they want, nothing less or nothing more.



LET US HOPE AND PRAY THAT WE ALL HAVE SO MANY FATHER'S DAYS TO SHOW OUR GRATITUDE FOR LIFE



With Love, Light & Peace to the whole Creation,

ERUVAKA PURNIMA

Dear SELF, The typical example of the above saying has to be India. Please click the link below for more information about this fact

http://www.rediff.com/news/slide-show/slide-show-1-india-needs-a-real-pm-not-a-helpless-one/20110608.htm

The most celebrated event for farmers in Andhra Pradesh which is THE RICE BOWEL OF BHARAT is
ERUVAKA PURNIMA. Most of us originated from the background of farmer family which is the back bone of the nation and the world.

Eruvaka Purnima or Eruvaka Punnami is a special festival celebrated in many parts of South India, especially in Andhra Pradesh.Eruvaka Poornima is a special festival celebrated by farmers and agriculturists on the full moon day, in the month of Ashada. On this day Agriculturists or farmers worship the yoke, the plough and the bulls with turmeric and kumkum.

Eruvaka Purnima is on Wednesday, June 15th. I still remember when I was 5 years old, I used to go on this day with my Grand father to the farm to do all the rituals on Eruvaka Purnima. Those of us who are not familiar with this important event, Please click the link below

MISSION OF HUMAN BIRTH

Dear SELF,Whatever happens, whenever it happens & why anything happens has to happen only in 7 days, Sunday to Saturday without any exception anywhere in this creation and that is the UNIVERSAL LAW.

We all know by now that Human birth is the most superior of all living things who can think, speak and act (THOUGHT, WORD & DEED) WHICH CAN LEAD US TO IMMORTALITY WITHOUT ANY MORE BIRTH OR DEATH WHICH WE CALL AS MOKSHA, WHICH IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THIS HUMAN BIRTH.

Usually KALIYUGA in which we all living is considered as the lowest of the four Yugas ( Sathya, Treta, dwaraka & Kali yuga) which means dark age, forgetting that Kali Yuga is the most desired time of all as it is only by naming God's name or hearing the God's Leelas we all can get the Missin of this rare human birth and that is the reason why even Devas would like come to the earth as human.

We all do so many things in this life for our own use and at times for the use of others and also we tend to know so many things in this life but one thing we rarely know is WHO ARE WE REALLY? by knowing this simple fact we can get our mission of life.

How to know who we really are. There is only one thing we can get the mission of this rare human birth by listening SRI MADBHAGAVATAM as much as possible during this life time. But nobody knows how long we are going to live in this form and there is no guarantee of getting this human birth again and the easiest thing is to avoid any more birth or death and to go back from where we all came which means TO GO BACK HOME!

Where we go in this world we have to come back Home at the end.

WE SHOULD NOT WAIT TO THE EVENING OF LIFE TO FINISH THIS VITAL TASK AND SHOULD DO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN IN A FRACTION OF A SECOND.

Those of us to finish this task, please click the link below to read in English

SRI RAMA NAVAMI

Dear SELF, One of the most celebrated event by all in Bharat & those live outside Bharat of Bharat's origin is SRI RAMA NAVAMI, THE DAY Lord Rama came to this world in human form exactly at 12.00 noon on Chaitra sukla Navami on Tuesday, April 12.

Those who would like to know the year Rama was born, please click the link below

http://lakdiva.org/aryan/rama.html







Sri Rama Navami is dedicated to the memory of Lord Rama, the 7th Avatar of Lord Vishnu. Sri Rama is portrayed as being the ideal man and his wife Sita is the ideal woman. We all know Sri Rama Navami commemorates the divine birth of Sri Rama. This auspicious day is celebrated on Chaitra sukla Navami (9th day of the bright half of the month Chaitra . In the latter years on the same day, Sita Rama Kalyanam (marriage) took place
In the word Rama,’Ra ‘ came from the sacred Mahamantra ‘Aum Namo naRAyana and ‘Ma’ came from the highly sacred Panchakshari mantra of ‘Aum NaMAh Sivaya’ of Mahadeva (Shankara or Shiva). So Rama nama is the Taraka mantra an auspicious and favourite of both Saivites and Vishnanites.’Where ever 4 Hindus live, Rama and Sita will be there’ so said Swami Vivekananda. The reverse is also equally true. Where ever Rama and Sita live, the people there will remain and live as Hindus. In many Northern parts of Bharat, mutual greetings take the form of ‘Jai Ramjee Ki’
The name Ramayana teaches us two lesions; 1.the value of detachment, 2.the need to become aware of the divine in every being. ‘Be in the world but not of it’. When we utter the word Rama, we first open the mouth with the sound ‘Ra’-all our sins go out when our mouth is open. When we utter Ma, by closing our mouth, the entry is barred against the sins that have gone out. We all know the famous sloka,
“ Sree Raama Raama Raamethi
Rame Raame Manorame
Sahasra Naama Thattulyam
Raama Naama Varanane”
If you utter Rama Nama, it is equivalent to chanting Vishnu Sahasranama. Such is the importance of chanting Rama Nama.
Ramayana teaches us, ‘Renunciation leads to the joy and attachment brings about grief.
It is highly believed that reading, watching or at least listening of the sacred Ramayana around Sri Rama Navami is very beneficial. Fortunately for Telugu people, there is an audio version of Ramayana in 9 parts, which is free on the Internet, which took me 5 hours to listen. We can listen for 9 days approaching Rama Navami. It is really high quality narrating with beautiful language and once you start listening, it is very difficult to stop until it is finished. To access this, please go to www.andhravilas.com on the left side click down loads-devotional songs. Then click Srirama to listen Ushasri Ramayanam. Have a go at it and see what you think!
It is also desirable to read or listen, HANUMAN CHALISA and ADITYA HRIDAYAM, the latter not only on this occasion but also on every Sunday before the Sunrise and the former every Tuesday morning and Saturday morning, these two days being the favourite of Sri Hanuman.
The ‘Ramayana’ literally means ‘the march of Rama’ in search of human values. We all owe a lot to the great sage Valmiki (Ratnakar who was a robber transformed into a great sage) who told the story of Rama to the humanity. As we all know Ramayana is written in so many languages in the world but the one who is responsible for its wide popularity goes Rama charita manus by Goswami Tulasidas. In the modern world, the credit goes to late Sri Ramananda Sagar’s Ramayana serial which was shown on the little box in whole (including Uttar Ramayana) for the first time which enabled to appreciate by all sections and by all ages and by all kinds of people, educated or uneducated with English sub titles, that was watched by millions through out the globe. We are very fortunate to witness the modern marvel in front of our eyes sitting in our own homes, with all the family.
We all know this function is shown in Andhra on television live from Bhadrachalam every year. Bhadrachala Rama is special in that, this is the only place one can see Rama with four hands and only here one can see Sita sitting on Sri Rama’s left lap. Such is the significance of Bhadrachala Sri Rama.
MAY LORD RAMA SHOWERS HIS BLESSINGS ON ALL THE HUMANITY

BIGINING TODAY.....



Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the
past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing
to do so.

Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will
always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot
make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today.

Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person
worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking
back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would
like to get to know better.

Beginning today I will cherish each moment of my life. I value the
gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly share
this gift with others.

Beginning today I will take a moment to step off the beaten path and
to revel in the mysteries I encounter. I will face challenges with
courage and determination. I will overcome what barriers there may
be which hinder my quest for growth and self- improvement.

Beginning today I will take life one day at a time, one step at a
time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image,
my desire to succeed or my capacity to love.

Beginning today I walk with renewed faith in human kindness.
Regardless of what has gone before. I believe there is hope for a
brighter and better future.

Beginning today I will open my mind and my heart. I will welcome new
experiences. I will meet new people. I will not expect perfection
from myself nor anyone else: perfection does not exist in an
imperfect world. But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human
foibles.

Beginning today I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do
things that make me happy... admire the beautiful wonders of nature,
listen to my favourite music, pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a
bubble bath... Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

Beginning today I will learn something new; I will try something
different; I will savor all the various flavours life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go. I will strive to
become the best me I can possibly be.

Beginning Today, And Everyday. Believe that everything that happens
is for the best and leave the rest up to the Lord to worry about!

GAYATRI MANTRA

Dear SELF, Sanatana Dharma is full of Mantras with power to make us alive, awake and help to lead devotional life and aid us to get the mission of this human birth. I understand there are some rules and regulations for chanting this universal Mantra but my simple logic dictates me anybody who is gifted to talk can chant this most powerful mantra to get the bliss of life.

If any of us would like to chant regularly, we can chant at any time without any rituals but with DEVOTION which is important than rituals but we need to do it three times a day wherever we are just before the Sun rise, just before the Sunset and the mid day. As the Sun is not always visible for some, we can do it in the morning between 6.00 AM 6.15 AM, in the evening between 6.00PM 6.15 PM and midday 12.00 noon and some special people also do midnight 12.00! which may not be practical for all.

But the most important thing is WE NEED TO PRACTICE DAILY AT LEAST TWICE IN THE MORNING & EVENING WITH FULL DEVOTION TO GET THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT AND TEACH OUR CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 8 YEARS OF AGE BOTH BOYS & GIRLS AND THEY KEEN KEEP IT GOING ALL THEIR LIFE.

At least let us give an attempt to see how we get on from tomorrow.

SIGNIFICANCE OF BOTTU OR TILAK

Dear SELF, The most common thing all living creatures share is we all are born from parents, the first woman & man we all originated are The Adi Dampatulu namely PARVATI & PARAMESWARA. So we all belongs to one family namely VASUDHAIKA KUTUMBAM (the whole creation belong to one fueamily.
Out of all all the family members, humans are most advanced with the gift of thinking, speaking and acting (thought, word & deed) We are also gifted no other living organism has namely intellect (buddi), capable of discrimination about the world of duality.

There is another pure conscious which has no birth nor death but immortal, which we really are wittnessing all our thoughts, words and deeds which is the main switch without which we cannot appreciate our faculties of thinking, speaking, acting, seeing, hearing, ready and every thing we are capable of WHICH IS OUR REALLY SELF, namely ATHMA which is nothing but PARAMATHMA, the unknown power that controls every thing that happens in this creation which some times called BRAHMAN.

In other words, all living creatures including we humans have one commonunique feature which is being represented out side by a mark on our fore head commonly called by various names like BOTTU, TILAK, NAMAM etc and each one is free to use that symbol according to one's wish and pleasure.

Only human beings can wear this mark on their forehead irrespective of age, sex, marital status which signifies that we are all equal with this common symbol and should ware this mark on our forehead BUT HOW MANY HUMANS WEAR?

5%, I doubt very much even in Bharat, even in Sanatana Dharma and even among women and have your own guess!

The fundamental duty of all humans when we meet others must look first their forehead to see the mark which represents who we really are namely ATMA, but not any other parts of the body. THAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPORTANCE IN THE OLDEST RELIGION OF THE WORLD, NAMELY SANATANA DHARMA.

LET US THINK TODAY ABOUT THIS AND QUESTION OUR SELF WHY WE ARE NOT FOLLOWING THIS BASIC REQUIREMENT?

Any positive or negative comments are most welcome!

SANDHYAVANDANAM

Dear SELF, About almost 85% world population regularly think of some super power unknown controls every thing in this wonderful creation which we all enjoy. It is everybody's right and the property of selected few. But it is generally labelled to certain individual groups historically which is wrong according to Sanatana Dharma.
Sandhyavandanam means a ritual carried out just before Sunrise and just after sunset and these two periods are considered more auspicious and some people insists that it should be done on midday (12.00 noon) and even some others go to the extent of doing at 12.00 midnight when the day ends and the next day begins.

It is a common belief among many only Brahmins should perform Sandhyavandanam especially after Upanayanam just before start learning life principles under a learned Guru. Some others believe even this is wrong. We are all Human and we are dividedd according the way, we think, speak and act and only these three aspects of life dictates who is who?

If we could understand various aspects of the rituals of SANDHYAVANDANAM, THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHO SHOULD PERFORM REGULARLY THIS RITUAL by clicking the link below
