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 :
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) .
