I want to know about “At morning, First chant dwayam Sandhyavandanam [archarya thennian sloka] and then do sandhyavanam [praathah & mhaadhyanika sandhyavandanam] OR vice-versa. Which is correct?

WE ARE HAPPY FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MAINTAINING THE VEDIC PRACTICES. INITIALLY AFTER BATH AND MARKING THE HEAD, ONE HAS TO CHANT GURU PARAMPARA AND 3 MANTHRAS, GIVEN BY OUR ACHARYAS. DURING THE COURSE ITSELF, DWAYAM WILL BE CHANTED. OTHERWISE,

I would like to know about Bagavad Ramanuja’s philosphy on role of women in doing pooja of the saligrama. If a women in married to a family who are not srivaishnavas can she still take a saligrama from the parents family and do the pooja. Your repsonse would be highly appreciated.

IT IS ONLY MEN RECOMMENDED TO DO THE SALAGRAMA PUJA, BUT NOT LADIES. THERE IS NO QUESTION OF SAMPRADAYA. IT IS A COMMON RULE FOR ALL THE SAMPRADAYAS. FOR SALAGRAMA, SO MANY MANTHRAS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE CHANTED, WHICH MAY

I have a few questions on Madhyahnikam (Noon sandhya prayers). 1. The noon arghya pradanam is done facing north. Should the Prayaschitta arghyam also be done facing north or east? 2. Should Aikyanusandhanam at noon be done facing north or east? 3. Should the Pranava Japa (starting with Pranavasya rishi brahma) at noon be done facing north or east? Thank you.

MORNING SANDHYA SHOULD BE DONE FACING EAST. * NOON SANDHYA ALSO SHOULD BE DONE FACING EAST ONLY. RIGHT FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. NO NORTH BUSINESS. * WHEREAS IN EVENING SANDHYA VANDHANAM THERE ARE SOME CHANGES. * UPTO ARGHYA PRADA:NAM,

Pranams to HH SRI CHINNA JEEYAR SWAMI, Please forgive me for this mundane question. The reason why I am asking it, is that I want an answer from an Acharya rather than western historians or Bharatiyas who are not well-versed in our scriptures, etc. I would like to know how different gotras formed different endogamous sub-groups or jatis? For example the same gotra can be found among the different jatis ( Bharadwaj gotra in a Nambudiri Brahmin and a Kashmiri Pundit). Given that gotras regulate marriages and that varna is by birth according to shastras (pardon me if I am incorrect); it would mean 2 individuals belonging to the same gotra but of 2 different geographical locations would be “brothers or cousin-brothers”. The information per western historians state at times gotras are not real and some of the times are made up. Does belonging to a gotra indicate are direct descendant by heredity or adoption or guru-parampara lineage ? If it is not by heredity, than why the ban sagotra marriages?

WE GOT YOUR DOUBT. WE GIVE A CONSOLIDATED ANSWER. GO:THRA STARTED TO SAY THE MAIN RUSHI, FROM WHOM THE LINEAGE IS STARTED. IN OLDEN DAYS, A FEW RUSHIES ARE USED TO FORM A GROUP AND MAKE RELATIONSHIPS ONLY AMONG THEMSELVES,
