Concurrency of Upayas Aquatheme

[Guest guest]

Dear Aqua,

 

Yes two or more upaya can run concurrently provided they are started

on different days. For example one has to offer water to the Sun God

every day, and also to apply haldi tilak every day, and also to

recite a stotra for a planet every day and so on. Now all these

upaya can go on concurrently if they are started on different days.

 

However it is advisable that short duration upaya of a week or of

one day etc should be done earlier and be finished with them before

you take up the long duration upaya

 

Sincerely,

 

Priya
