(Foreword)

God is the absolute reality endowed with all auspicious and excellentattributes. He is the inner controller of allcit (beings) andacit (matter). Thejıvatman enters the physical body appropriate to its pastkarma (actions)and transmigrates in the cycle of births and deaths (sam. sara). God, out ofcompassion for the souls, bestowsvedic knowledge throughbrahma and alineage of saints and sages. Thevedas discuss the nature of God, nature ofsouls, causes ofsam. sara and ways to get out of it.

Vedas prescribe several duties for individual souls to come out ofthissam. sara. They are classified asnitya karmas, or daily duties, andnaimit-

tika karmas, or occasional duties. The much extoledsandhyavandanacomes undernitya karma, or daily duties. We have ample references regard-ing sandhyavandana in vedas, smr. tis, ramayan. a, mahabharata andvis. n. u puran. a. The reference tosandhyavandana in kr. s. n. a yajurveda

is as follows

The procedure of worship ordained here is by offeringarghya at the timeof sunrise and sunset while meditating onaditya (sun god) and chantinggayatrı.

Aditya represents puresatva characteristics and it is He who looks afterthe health of the entire world. The individual soul is enveloped withrajo gun. a

andtamo gun. a. These adverse vices can be wiped out by offeringarghya

to the Almighty God in the form of sun and meditating ongayatrı.

A;�a;Ba;mua;Ka;m,a abhimukham

Worship througharghya is a process by whichaditya within us can beinvoked and whose qualities can be acquired.Vedas declare thataditya in thesky and theaditya within our body is one and the same. Thevedic statementruns like this.

Therefore, offeringarghya definitely has the effect on one who offers it.

Taittirıyopanis.ad also says

The meaning is that thearghya offered from the palms of the worshipperdestroys demons known asmantehas attacking the sun. This statement in theveda has a great significance.

Vedas are referred to astrayı, that is,vedic statements have three mean-ings, namely, external, internal and philosophical. Amongthem, the philoso-phical meaning is important. The element of sun in our body isclouded by ourrajo gun. a andtamo gun. a. Thearghya offered at the feet ofaditya at sun-rise and sunset will help free the individual soul from the above-mentioned evil qualities. The word in thevedic statementmantehas refersto the devils in our body.Isavasya upanis.ad of sukla yajurveda andchandogya upanis.ad refer toaditya vidya, that is,sandhyavandana.

The entire process ofsandhyavandana is centered aroundarghyapradana andgayatrı japa. In addition to this,acamana,marjana, asana,pran. ayama andupasthana are also important.

The gayatrı mantra is a very powerful one. Allvedas extol theefficacy ofgayatrı mantra. There is novedic yaga in which this great

Acharya Sankara extols thegayatrı japa in many places. Theguruparampara, a biographical work ofsrıvais.n. ava acaryas, recordsthat acarya ramanuja was offeringarghya in sandhyavandana beingsupported by two persons even at the ripe age of 120.

He who does not performsandhyavandanam every day is ever impure and,consequently, unfit to perform anyvedic rites. Whatever other rites he mayperform, he will not obtain the fruit thereof.

Duties prescribed to individuals invedas are classified asnitya karma,or daily duties, andnaimittika karma, or occasional duties.Sandhya-vandanam is anitya karma and, hence, has to be performed daily. It is, infact, to be performed at the appropriate times asbhagavadajna kainkaryam,that is, as a matter of service rendered to God by way of obeying His command.In vis. n. u dharma, Lord vis. n. u says

:pra;~ta;a;va;na;a prastavana

The vedas and the treatises thereunder, that is,smr. tis, convey My com-mands. Whoever violates them, commits treason. Even if he beMy devotee,he is by no means avais. n. ava.

Sandhyavandanam refers to the worship of sun duringsandhya, themeeting point of day and night, and, fore and after noon. The prayer at sunriseis calledpratah. sandhyavandanam, that at noon is calledmadhyahnika

sandhyavandanam, and that at sunset is calledsayam. sandhyavanda-nam. Thus,sandhyavandanam is performed three times in a day.

The benefits ofpratah. sandhyavandanam are most (or maximum)when performed before sunrise and stars are visible, average when performedbefore sunrise but stars have disappeared, poor after sunrise, as described bythe following verse.

Similarly for sayam. sandhyavandanam, it is best before sunset, averageafter sunset but before stars appear and poor after stars appear, as described bythe following verse.

Ideally, thepratah. sandhyavandanam should be started before sun-rise and concluded at sunrise. Similarly thesayam. sandhyavandanam

should be started before sunset and concluded at sunset (local time). Thesetimings are from considerations of maximum benefit. However, it is impor-tant to note that benefits will be there even when there are departures andthis has been recognized in thesmr. tis. As a part ofsandhyavandanam,mantras associated with atonement are incorporated by way ofprayascitta

arghyam. Every individual, who has undergoneupanayanam, the sacredthread ceremony, should therefore strive to performsandhyavandanam at atime as close to sunrise or sunset as possible but should not give it up due to cir-cumstances. A person who is unwell can also performsandhyavandanam

mentally without water. In the event of long journeys when itis inconvenientto performsandhyavandanam, the entire procedure can be done mentally,irrespective of the dress one is wearing. This is calledmanasika sandhya-vandanam. Also, in the present-day world we are in, it is sometimes notpractical to performmadhyahnika sandhyavandanam at the prescribedtime and place. In such circumstances,madhyahnika sandhyavandanam

can be performed soon afterpratah. sandhyavandanam.

Eachsandhyavandanam is done after taking a normal bath of pouringadequate amount of water over your body, from head to foot. This is calledvarun. a snanam. Although there are other forms of physical baths recog-nized in thevedas, there is also one that can be performed mentally withoutwater. This is calledmanasika snanam. In the present-day world, it may notbe practical to performvarun. a snanam before eachsandhyavandanam.In such circumstances,manasika snanam can be substituted. Formana-sika snanam, mentally comprehend the Lotus Feet of the Lord and imaginethat the sacred water of theviraja (heavenly river) from His feet flowing allover your body. Recite the hymn below and sprinkle water overyour head.

As mentioned earlier,sandhyavandanam is performed by an individualafterupanayanamwhich is avedic ritual that includes wearing ofyagnopa-vıtam, the sacred thread, and initiation into thegayatrı mantram. Thetermupanayanam consists of two words, namely,upa, meaning near, andnayanam, meaning to fetch. The significance of the termupanayanam isthat a teacher leads, or initiates the student towards the enquiry into the natureof brahman, or the Supreme Deity. To denote the importance of this aspect oftheupanayanam sacrament, it is sometimes calledbrahmopadesam, eventhough it is just one of the events in theupanayanam ceremony. The sacredfunction ofupanayanam is an important milestone in the life of the student,namely, it initiates him towards the study of thevedas. According to thevedasandsmr. tis, the prescribed age ofupanayanam for brahmins is seven. Theage, however, should not exceed sixteen in any case.

Gayatrı mantra has been bestowed the greatest importance invedic

dharma. It is the most hallowedmantra of thevedas and is considered themother of allmantras. The performance ofgayatrı japam, which is an in-tegral part ofsandhyavandanam, protects the individuals from the maleficeffects of sins and expiation. It is a prayer to the sun god to alleviate one fromall human sins and to bestow knowledge, health and longevity. According toParasara, one who performsgayatrı japam with devotion becomes pureand gets liberated. A person who does not recite thegayatrı mantram can-not be considered to be abrahmin, even if he has read thevedas, sastrasandpuran. as. Amongst the many definitions ofgayatrı, one of it is

ga;a;ya;ntMa �a;a;ya;tea I+.�a;ta ga;a;ya:��a;agayantam. trayate iti gayatrı

which means that it is one which protects the person who chants or recites it.

Lord vis. n. u is also calledyajnah. , as theyajnas, the sacrificial rites, areall dedicated to Him. The wordupavıtam means that which surrounds. Con-sequently, the wordyajnopavıtam is a thread that surrounds Lordvis. n. u,the in-dweller orantaryami. In light of this, theyajnopavıtam can beviewed as the thread that goes round the heart-region (whichis the seat ofan-taryami) over the left shoulder down to the navel and back to the left shouldervia the back. Theyajnopavıtam comprises of three strands knotted together.This symbolizes the conjunction of the three fundamental entities, namely,cit,(the sentient being- individual soul)acit (the non-sentient matter- body) andısvara (the in-dweller) in an inseparable combination. The ends ofthe knotof theyajnopavıtam should point upwards to signify the final goal in view,namely, ascent to the Lotus Feet of Lordvis. n. u in His transcendental abode.In addition, it should be close to the heart, the seat ofantaryami.

We are happy to release this book on the occasion of theupanayanam

of ours sons Chi. Mukund Kidambi and Chi. Sriram Kidambi on June 18, 2007in the auspicious presence of His HolinessSrı Rangapriya Mahadesikan

svami. In this book, we have provided a fairly detailed procedure for perform-ing yajurveda kalatraya sandhyavandanam, that is, thesandhyavan-danam during three times of the day. It is certainly not a substitute for learn-ing the sandhyavandanam under anacarya or a qualified teacher. Theintention of this book is to serve more as a memorabilia than aguide, althoughone could benefit from the procedures pertaining tosandhyavandanam per-formed during the three times of the day andmantras presented here withproper accents.
