19 वर्ष के देवव्रत महेश रेखे जी ने जो उपलब्धि हासिल की है, वो जानकर मन प्रफुल्लित हो गया है। उनकी ये सफलता हमारी आने वाली पीढ़ियों की प्रेरणा बनने वाली है।

MULTIPLE PROBLEMS OF LIFE, ONE SOLUTION
KNOWN BY OUR ANCESTORS, NEGLECTED BY US
Amongst the various karmas which the Vedic texts prescribe, the one that fall in the section of Nitya Karma (daily rituals), is the Sandhyavandana
There are numerous articles on Sandhyavandana in the internet. We are going to be a little different and highlight to you, how in this modern world, this ancient science is useful and of atmost importance.
Sandhya is the window period between end of the night and beginning of sunrise early morning, and beginning of sunset and setting in of the night in the evening time. This twilight period is an important phase which signifies either beginning of activity or cessation of activity, as we are entering from one phase of the day or night respectively. And “Vandana” means paying obeisance.
You would observe that anytime we have a change in our life, such as joining a new school, job, booking a new house, some important negotiations on important deals which affect our career, family or our own future, we get a feeling of anxiety, apprehension of what will happen. So what do we do before we venture into any such activity? We pray, if not regularly, at least during this moment. Some may visit temples, keep a vow, some may conduct poojas, some may just pray without rituals. Why do we pray here? These are done for winning over that situation without any obstacles and to get success. In Kali Yuga, praying has become an occasional affair when faced with problems instead of a day-to-day duty. Well, what about day-to-day problems? Are we bothered about it? Yes, I guess more than the specific instances which we have cited above. What are these day-to-day issues? Household issues, office issues, transport issues, etc. Sandhyavandhanam gives you the power and protection on a day-to-day basis and for long term to emerge victorious in every situation that you face in day to day life. And this twilight time is the ideal time in which Sandhyavandana, if performed will give you the necessary impetus to take charge of the day without hurdles and have a trouble-free evening and night which in fact, also denotes a change in the activity cycle of person in each day. The twilight time is supposed to be filled with Sattwa gunas (positive divine vibrations) and Sandhyavandana helps us harness these and transfer them into us
The process of Sandhyavandana, if done properly, requires around 30-40 minutes of your time. What are the essential elements of this ritual?
Even though there are detailed steps, we give the gist of how Sandhyavandana is beneficial and how it offers protection. We divide Sandhyavandana into 3 aspects -
1. Purification of the outer and inner body
2. Offering water or Arghyam/ tarpana (libation) to the Sun who is in the form of Savita (The impeller and Goddess of Vedas/knowledge), the 9 planets which affect us in all ways, and the various swaroopas (forms) of Lord Vishnu to satisfy them.
3. Gayatri Japa
PURIFICATION:
By chanting appropriate mantras, we purify our outer body by sprinkling water in Sandhyavandana. We also purify our inner body by performing Achamana, (sipping water by uttering Lord Vishnu’s names). In this section, we also ask for forgiveness of doing wrong/improper deeds which have been prohibited are per our Dharma Shastras. This does not mean we could do anything we want, and do Sandhya as expiation. As you invoke Goddess Savita/Gayatri during your Sandhya procedure, mind you, she is watching you. As a teacher in the school or boss in the office may forgive you for coming late once or twice, the third time you repeat the mistake, you are punished.
