అవలోకనం
Sandhya Vandana is one of the most ancient and important daily rituals in Hinduism. The word "Sandhya" means junction or twilight, and "Vandana" means salutation or worship.
The practice varies by tradition (Rig, Yajur, Sama Veda) but typically includes: Achamanam (sipping water), Pranayama (breath control), Sankalpa (intention), Marjana (sprinkling water), Arghya Pradana (water offering), and Gayatri Japa.
For those without formal initiation, a simplified version focusing on Gayatri mantra and prayer is recommended.
