A mantra's power does not -->> manifest itself appropriately if obeissance is not paid to Rishi, chandas -->> and devata. this holds for gayatri mantra too. the preceding mantras -->> are the ones which are dedicated for this purpose. What is the significance of associating chnadas, rishis and devatas with the mantras? -->> bhavanam" - pathanjali yoga sutra - w hich indicates japa means contemplating -->> the meaning of the mantra in addition to repeating it many times. I can understand that. -->> arjuna asks " what if one does a karma (like sandhyavandana) without paying -->> attention to the krama (methodology) but if he is sincere?" the answer -->> to this indicates that this method only indicates a rajasic method and -->> sattvic method of performing a karma is only as dictated by the shastras i -->> ie by preceding japa with appropriate mantras. -->> Could you explain this a little further. -->> -->> By the way, one has to do agnikaryas - bramhacharis should do samita danam -->> and grihastas should do - aupasana. -->> Again, can someone explain the significance of these actions?
