Dear Sri Rangarajan :
Sri VishNu AaarAdhanam and Sri Raaja RaajEswari
AarAdhanam do not go together . I am pointing this out
since You have asked for directions . My response is
not to hurt the feelings of any Devi Worshippers .
 
If you identify yourself as " Sri VaishNava , Vada Kalai " and also
doing Laghu AarAdhanam for Sriman Narayana , it does not
make any sense for doing SrI Raaja RaajEswari Poojaa ; 
that  is for Devi Worshippers with Meru , Yantram and invocation
with 15 Bheeja Aksharams or with Laghu Shodasi . You may
wish to donate Sri Raja RajEswari Vigraham for the benefit
of a Devi Worshipper active in reciting Sri Lalihtaa Sahasram ,
Sri Lalithaa Trisadhi and performing Chandi Homam
during the NavarAthri season . 
 
If you have had SamAsrayaNam and BharanyAsam , You
make a promise to your AchAryan and agree to adhere
to a code of Conduct of worshipping Sriman NaarAyaNan
alone after initiation into procedures for VishNu  AarAdhanam .
 
You are fortunate to have 108 SaaLagramams .  The details of
SaaLagrama AarAdhanam are in Ahobilavalli.org web pages .
It is the easiest AarAdhanam to do .
 
The big SaaLagramams are not for AarAdhanam by housholders .
They are for SanyAsis and MatAdhipathis . You may wish to
donate it to a Matam like Ahobila Matam , where Lakshmi Narasimhan
worship is primary .
 
You have to do sankalpam every day since the PanchAngam
parameters change . Year , Ruthu , Month , Day and Nakshathram
change . There are special sanklapams also for Sri Raama Navami ,
Sri Nrusimha Jayanthy and Sri KrishNa Jayanthi . PradhOsha AarAdhanam
for Lord Narasimhan has another sankalpam  . Elders can breif you
on these finer aspects.
 
The tarpaNam for Navagraham during  SandhyAvandhanam
is not in VaishNavite tradition . KesavAdhi TarpaNam is included
in our tradition .
 
In the sankalpam , we do not use "ParamEswara Preethyartham ".
Please refer to the Sandhya write up  with video and Text
that we have put together for VaishNavAs with full coverage
on "how to ":

Subject: [Oppiliappan] Assistance in understanding what pooja should be done and how.....


Dear Respected Sirs and Adiyens:
I have several questions with respects to worship, what we can and can not do.
I am a Sri Vaishnava, Vadagalai, Kousika Gothram. Presently I am doing Laghu Aaraadhanam daily.

1. Can we do worship to Vigraham. I have a Rajarajeshwari Statue made of bronze in addition to all the small silver krishna's, and 108 Sahligram Shilas. Can we do pooja to Rajarajeshwari? How are we meant to do this and do we have to install any such vigraha first.

2. I also have a Sudarshana with Yoga Nrishma on the back (both approximately 9 inches in height). How do we install this vigraha and can we do pooja to this one too?

3. I was told that there was additional  Aaraadhanam if one has 108 Shaligram Shilas, is this true and does anyone know what else needs to be done?

4. I have been told that we do not need to do the entire Sankalpam everyday, is this correct? Also does anyone have the correct version of Sankalpam?

5. Whilst doing Sandhya Vandanam as a srivaishnaivai do we say the following? My grandfather taught me, but over time I was given additional advise by others, so I do not know what is correct and what is not.
Adityam tarpayami
Somam tarpayami
Angarakam tarpayami
Budham tarpayami
Brhaspatim tarpayami
Sukram tarpayami
Sanaischaram tarpayami
Rahum tarpayami
Ketum tarpayami
Keshavam tarpayami
Narayanam tarpayami
Madhavam tarpayami
Govindam tarpayami
Vishnum tarpayami
Madhusudanam tarpayami
Trivikramam tarpayami
Vamanam tarpayami
Sridharam tarpayami
Hrsikesam tarpayami
Padmanabham tarpayami
Damodaram tarpayami

Sankalpam???
Mamopatta samasta duritaksayadvara sri paramesvara prityartham
Morning : Pratah sandhya gayatri mahamantra japam karisye
Noon : Madhyahnika gayatrimahamantra japam karisye
Evening : Sayam sandhya gayatrimahamantra japam karisye

Thank you to everyone who will provide assistance in this matter, it is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely

Rangarajan
