Good to see this email and honest sharing of knowledge

which is known to many of us doing sandhyavandanam.

However the email says " What is given below is the

Sandhya Vandanam procedure prescribed for...... A

summary meaning of all the manthras chanted is also

included.Sandhya vandhana has two parts, the first one

normally to be done either standing in a river or

sitting with hunched legs on the feet outside the

house and the second part is done by sitting on firm

ground using the lotus pose. (Padmasana)."

 

I dont see the procedure written in here or any

attachment. Have you forgot or is going to be in

subsequent email?
