The Treasure / Unimaginable mind bongling Divine numbers /Sandhyavandanam and Gayathri !!!!

[Guest guest]

Respected Sir:

 

Thanks for your kind words. As regards your two queries;

 

1. What is the need ? The answer is : Dharma. Full stop.

 

This writer gives below an extract from the ancient Dharmasangiti Sutra

which may perhaps give you an inkling of what the need is.

 

DHARMA

 

Dharma is equal, the same for all beings. For high or low or

those in the middle, Dharma cares nothing.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma regards not the pleasant. Dharma is without partiality.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma depends not upon time. Timeless is Dharma.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

 

Dharma hides not in the lofty while shunning the low.

Dharma bends neither upwards nor downwards.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma abides not in the whole while avoiding the broken.

Dharma is devoid of superior and inferior.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma pervades not the noble while fleeing the humble.

Dharma has no attachment in the fields of activity.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma seeks not the day while holding back in the night.

Dharma is constancy itself.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma loses not the chance to transform. No delay

accompanies Dharma.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

 

Dharma is neither scarce nor abundant. It is without measure or

enumeration, and like space it neither shrivels nor grows.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma requires no protection by guardians; all beings are

guarded by Dharma.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma seeks no refuge, for it is the refuge of all the world.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma finds none to resist it. Irresistible is Dharma.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma plays no favourites. Without preference is Dharma.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

Dharma fears not the terrors of birth and death, nor does

Nirvana entice it. Without misgiving is Dharma.

So must I make my thought like Dharma.

 

Dharmasangiti Sutra

 

 

2. Real meaning of the rituals etc. : There are two approaches

 

a.. Assuming you are a devouted current practitioner of Sadhya, then

you may depending on the intensity of your interests, devoution during

the ritual you may get insights in flashes unexpectedly. The

benediction will dawn on

your heart and consciousness suddenly.

 

b. If you have not been doing the Sandhya/Gayathri Japa, or are an

irregular practitioner, then followow the motto

of Nike shoes : JUST DO IT !

 

Keep on doing and over a period of time you will naturally fall

into the (a) category

 

Om tat Sat

Tat tvam asi

OM NAMO NARAYANA

 

Dear sir,

 

The write up which u have posted about sandya

vandhanam was really good and it tells us about the

meaning for what we are doing it. I would like to

request you that you put more message like this which

contains the need and the real meaning for which we

perform like this kind of ritual things.
