My idea in Starting the Thread is to Collect the meanings and Tatva ardha in Sandhyavandnam mantras. We know that no standardized procedure is fixed in sandhyavandanam steps. Steps in Sandhyavandanam must be kept in ordered manner with reasoning. Like Slowly bringing the practitioner's attention from Bhooshuddi to Marjanya mantra. My dear group members please help me.

Namaste,

As regards Gayatrijapam, to my knowledge, if avahana is done everytime, the visarjana also has to be done everytime, otherwise avahana may not be needed every time. Further, for many, the  Gayatri is an ajapa mantra, in the sense that Gayatri is recited at any time of the day beyond the scheduled trisandhya japas.

Secondly, some people recite the Gayatri-Shapa Vimochana mantra. before or after the gayatri japam. To my understanding, it is to remind the reciters that Gayatri is for spiritual upliftment and one should not try to use its powers for breaking the laws of nature or for using that to harm others. 

Regards,
Sunil KB

Aarya Vishvaasa,


 The name PuraaNa or PauraaNika aachamanam has been being used in reference to aachamanam done along with the recitation of the 24 naamas of Bhagavaan. The reason probably is that at least some of the names in the list are not found in the Veda, but are found in the Puranas.

Dear Sri Vishvasji,

A huge amount of our current practices have such admixtures. They have Vedic origins. But employ a big number of Puranic/Agamic elements. There is no question of auchitya or anauchitya in this. That is the beauty of what is being called as 'Hindu' tradition. 

Arya Samaj which wanted to revert back to the 'original', 'pure' Vedic tradition, 'cleaned'  these rituals by removing the Puranic / Agamic elements from them. There is an Arya Samaj version of Sandhya Vandanam also. You may see here. They use only Veda mantras. 

One may want to go for such reformations from time to time. 

But the 'mainstream' 'Hinduism' remains Purana/ Agama amalgamated. 

The dhyaana s'lokas such as Muktavidruma or Dhyeyassadaa also are not from the Veda. 

As long as these elements do not disturb the spirit of the ritual, I don't see any anauchitya in this.

What is the significance of performing 24+8 Gayatri Mudras. What Bhav should be in our mind while performing.

------ This is a very good question, worth researching. 

The number of mudras being 24 and the number of syllable also being 24 must have some basis. 

The number 8 too is interesting because 24 is its multiple. 

I saw a video in which an American teacher is seen performing 24 mudras for 24 syllables one mudra along with the pronunciation of each syllable. 


That appears to make sense. 

That meanings of names of mudras have nothing to do with the meaning they communicate is obvious.

But do all these mudras together  'communicate' a meaning? or each of these is a tool for Yogic effects (in the Saadhaka)? 

We need to find out. The answer seems to lie hidden somewhere. 

May Vedamaataa reveal it sooner than later.

Joshi ji,

जपादौ न्यास मुद्रादिकं कुर्वन्ति केचित । तत्तु न वैदिक कर्माङगं; किन्तु आगमशास्त्रानुसारेण गायत्री उपासकानां मन्त्र सन्ध्याङ्गं । तत्तु आवश्यकता न भवति । किन्तु तेन कृते अभ्युदयः , अकृते न जपादि कर्म वैगुण्यं मिति लभ्यते .....says कृष्ण पण्डितः

The न्यास and मुद्रा are not vaidika and it’s omission doesn't lead to pratyavAya dosha; however performance leads to abhyudaya.  

I am learning कृष्णयजुर्वेदः (तैत्तिरीय शाखा) from the illustrious lineage of Kuppa family (Brahmasri Kuppa Lakshmavadhani Garu aka Sri. Janardanananda Saraswathi Swamiji). Neither our vedic teacher nor paramapujya Kuppa Lakshmavadhani garu did mudrApradarshana in sandhya.  As per them, even nyAsa is also not required which is tAntrika.  

With the mantra "आयातु वरदा.....", the AvAhana is established and with the mantra "उत्तमे शिखरे...." upasthAna is established.  There is no pratyavAya dosha in omssion.

Dear Sriramji,

Many thanks...

Probably, mudras might have included to practice the presence of Deity during Sandhya vandanam in external form. I belong to the lineage of Shukla Yajurveda (Madhyandini Shakha) and the sandhya vandanam seems to be bit different from Krishna Yajurveda form.

I am not a Sanskrit scholar and always depend on texts authored by others like Sw. Dayananda Saraswati or Pt. Ram Sharma Acharya to perform Sandhya vandanam.

It seems that you are a scholar of Sanskrit... I would encourage the members of this group to author texts for layman like us regarding Vedic / Puranic worship procedures... We can publish it online...

The mudras are exclusively used only during गायत्री पुरश्चरणं which is explicitly done and not as a part of sandhyavandana.  गायत्री पुरश्चरण प्रयोग विधि mentions this.

Yes Sir the bhavana is important in Sandhyavandana. How to do each step with a particular bhavana (imagination ). Because numerous texts are available on how to do and with meanings , but not how to meditate with bhav.

I perform Sandhya Vandana observing as thought by my father and my father performs seeing how my grandfather performed. That is the best and an ideal way to learn rituals. If that is not possibleone should learn and see how ones Guru or other members in one family performs and learn. If that is followed there will be no confusion or doubts. Questions arises if only one wants to modify.

Editions of Rigvediya Sandhyavandana are available at archives and DLi websites.

As suggested on BVP home page it would be a good idea to search the web before asking for books as that will save time for all

It is quite justified to use the pauranic information. Adi Shankara stressed on the importance of the  Pauranic information, as many shakhas of the Vedas have disappeared.

Dear Madhavji, 

Someone seeking to know the bhaavanaa /anubhava aspect of the ritual itself is extremely heartening. I am glad to see you being keen in that direction.  

I shall share my understanding in that direction soon.

Hi Ajith ji,


I searched and got many PDF and documents which increased my confusion. Learning from others will not be as effective as from reading i think. 
Coming to questions yes i have many doubts on performing Sandhyavandnam with the proper Bhav .
I don't want to modify anything. 
My effort  is in Knowing the Standard Steps of Sandhyavandanam with reason to every step why in the hierarchy its there along with meaning and Bhav.
It is well known fact that nobody even in the same family will follow the same steps.
Also people will do according to their wish , someone ignores Marjana or Digdevatha namaskara etc and complete the ritual.
In my view we must have a standard for sandhyavandanam which is the core of Sanathana Dharma and Studies in Vedanta.
Coming to Saving time of Scholars i think no person in BVP gets disturbed when a अर्भक like me asks a question . They will feel more excited to teach me i think.

So please let me know the bhav of each and every step in the following format. for example.

Step(Mantra )BhavMeaning What is being done
"आयातु वरदा.....", the AvAhana is established
"उत्तमे शिखरे...." upasthAna is established



Thanks for your reply

Dear aayushmaan Madhwa Raj,

While I, as I already mentioned in my previous mail, appreciative of your keenness to know the spirit of a very important ritual, I would like to clarify to you that BVP is not a religious body authorized to standardize the Sandhyavandanam procedure and prescribe that standard procedure to all. 

Second point, rituals like Sandhyavandanam can be viewed from both from Vedanta or non-Vedanta perspectives. Each saadhaka may take one of those perspectives. Scholars can, if you are interested, know which perspective gives which meaning etc.

Swami Paramarthananda saraswati had given 10 lectures on Sandhyavandanam few years back - each lecture is about 1 hour and various things such as Bhavana, etc. are touched upon in these lectures (lectures are in English - all are downloadable). You may be able to get some answers. Link below:

I perform Sandhya Vandana observing as thought by my father and my father performs seeing how my grandfather performed. That is the best and an ideal way to learn rituals. If that is not possibleone should learn and see how ones Guru or other members in one family performs and learn. If that is followed there will be no confusion or doubts. Questions arises if only one wants to modify.

Editions of Rigvediya Sandhyavandana are available at archives and DLi websites.

As suggested on BVP home page it would be a good idea to search the web before asking for books as that will save time for all

I just found the book that I have been trying to locate in my collection, since this thread was started. The book is, " The Spiritual Significance of Sandhyakaram (Rituals)" by Y. Subbaraya Sharma. (1971).  Seems to be self-publication.
