SrI:
 
Dear SrI Malolan Narayanan :
 
Regarding your question on Aachamaneeyam
and whether the Achamana water goes into heart
or shpould it be done in a way that water ingested
reaches the heart is linked to the PramANam :
 
" apsu prAptaAsu hrudhayam BrAhmaNa:
Suddhim AapnuyAth ".
 
(Meaning ) : When the AchAmana Jalam reaches
the heart , the Brahmin attains cleanliness .
 
The above PramANam cannot be taken literally .
The Aachamana water  enters from the mouth ,
travels thru the alimentary canal and ultimately
reaches the stomach .
 
There is no direct physiological connection between
the mouth or stomach with the heart . The stomach
and its function as well as that of  the heart and Brain
are controlled however by the sympathetic and asympathetic
nervous systems, which are a part of the Central
Nervous System .    
 
The ParamANam relates to the mental suddhi
arising from the Aachamanam , which is much more
than the ingestion of the water . Repeating the 12
VyUha Moorthys of the Lord (Sriman narayana)
and touching the sections of the face and torso
associated with these 12 Moorthys with specfic finger
tips ( end points of Bio-electricty in the human body )
leads to Suddhi ( the equivalent of Aachamana water reaching
the heart ; whenever one refers to heart , it also
connotes mind ) .
 
There are 25 steps in Yajur Veda SandhyAvandhanam .
Aachamanam is the first of these 25 steps . Each of
these steps ( how to) have been illustrated in a Video
prepared few years ago with the supervision of
HH Srimath PoundarIkapuram Andavan of Srirangam .
 
You can access this video and write up on the 25 steps
of SandhyA Vandhanam at :
 
http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/sandhya/index.html
 
http://www.ibiblio.org/sripedia/ebooks/sandhya/content.html
 
There is plenty of information & references there about
"Science , Bio-electricity ans health " in addition to
proper performance of Sandhya Vandhanam to gain
optimal results .
 
Part of Aachamaneeyam is to touch the 12 VyUha SthAnams
of Sriman NarayaNa , where VaishNavAs adorn Urdhva 
PuNDrams . The significance of the 12 VyUha SthAnams ,
the Mnatrams for the invocation of the Murthys and Their 
Devis is covered in another e-book in the Sundara Simham
series entitled " Panniru Naamams " ( The Twelve Names 
starting from Kesava and ending with DaamOdhara) . The URL 
for this e-book  number 18 is :

Dear Sir,
 
Sending you this email as mentioned before as Deevalur Swami is currently busy with other pressing duties.
 
This also has the link I referred to in my last email.
 
Again, sorry if you had already read this email posted to this group.

Dear members,
 
When one does 'achamanam' (sipping the water - as it is put in Englis), it is said the water has to reach one's heart.
 
So, does this reference to the water reaching the heart imply a reference to what has to thought in mind or does this mean in a way literally, i.e. the water dripping down to the heart region.
 
This question and my ealier one came when browsing thru this web page:
 
This site is a good one as it tries to analyse each opinion that was put forward by different people. Also, it raises a lot of questions. I hope I'll be posting a lot of questions on dharmasastra and hopefully receive explanations that make these concepts clear. A lot of confusion comes around the point that we seem to follow a lot of rules laid down years ago. I have to admit there are some which holds good irrespective of the ages and some need some refinement.

 

Regards,

Malolan
