Dear Damodaran,

Emperumaan is the greatest and the closest bandhu whom we are extremely lucky to share a close relationship with.

This relationship is eternal, and he showers his eternal grace on us.

Adiyen doesn’t want to comment on other gods, we just don;t need to think of any other gods who are not even one trillonth part in terms of greatness compared to the supreme.

Emperumaan never punishes anybody that we didn’t offer prayer to him, instead he always thinks of our upliftment

When this comes to Sandhyavandanam, it is the ardent duty of Brahmana/Kshatriya to perform the same. Sandhayvandanam is a MUST for all brahmanas, and if we are not performing them implies we are not following shastrams/not adhering to Emperumaan’s order.

Obviously once incurrs sin, if he is not performing Thrikaala Sandhyavandanam as per Lord’s order. This doesn’t mean that he hates anybody. Emperumaan always thinks to uplift us, and uttering his name/performing an Anjali with a request that this will not be repeated again will immediately quench his anger. We should keep our words after that.

Performing Sandhyavandanam is a duty, and by doing this regularly, is a mark of respect we are giving to the Lord.

For eg, the duty of a doctor is to treat. Suppose a patient registers to a hospital and is not treated by anybody, how will be the reaction of public. They will get angry saying it was duty of doctor to treat. Similar is here, whenever we slip from our duties, Emperumaan lso gets angry.

Swamin,i read this book in 2004 and since had only loved it.I was refered to by an elderly SriVaishnava.Actually,when searching my Grandpa’s Library he too had one copy of this.So,its a must have in every house and family.Its price had always been very very affordable.Even now though it has increased 100 p.c. plus still it would be hardly some Rs.100 to Rs.150.And the knowledge that it provides is oceanic.Many publishers would have priced it much higher with some illustrations and pics.Say,even Rs.500 or so.But,thanks to Swamin and other publishers they have taken the right way of approach.Pls dont inc the cost anymore.Thanks once again for contributing so much.
Jai Shriman Narayana

Is it our Lord Narayana is similar to Christian God that he punishes those who do not send prayers to Him…..Why we should get sin for not doing Sandhya vandanam ??
