Shashwata 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) A dilemma has arisen regarding the first mantra related to the Samaveda Sandhya procedure. Why should the worshiping method start with this mantra from visnuh sukta- "Om Tad visnoh" (Rig Veda- 1/22/20)? Where did the procedure of sipping water by chanting "Om Visnuh" come from? Where can I find the reference of this procedure? Govila Grihyasutra clearly states that the achamana vidhi should start with "yasho asi" mantra. I am unable to find the reference books. Edited November 17, 2015 by Shashwata Some change in the mantra. Needed to add an extra question. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
