Sri Krishnaya Namah! Thanks a lot for a detailed explanation. I am in the process of getting a detailed book on Sandhyavandanam from Tulasi Thota, Bangalore. In the meanwhile, I still have few queries: 1. There is a sloka in the Sandhyavandanam - "dhyeya sada savithramandala madhyavarthi; narayanaha sarasijasana, sannivishtahaha, keyuravan, makarakundalavan, kiritihari ............ savithranamaka lakshminarayana preraneya lakshminaraya prithyartham......" With this, can we deduce Savithramandala madhyavarthi as Srimannarayana. I could not understand much with my limited knowledge on Sanskrit. 2. Also, you said Savita lies inside Sun. Can you elaborate on Savita. Is it Lord Srimannarayana. 3. Who is the author for this Naimisthika karma. Or is it a part of Karma Kanda(first part) of Vedas 4. There are various types of this karma depending on veda - yajurveda, rigveda etc., Why is that so. Why can't it be combined as a single capsule (as you said below) and given to us. 5. How do we know our veda. Is it only by our ancestors, or is it dependent on our Gothra, as you know, same gothras is allocated for different class of people and this is very complex structure. Hope you have time to answer these. Thanks for your time. Sukumar PS: Last but not the least, elders say in my household that if Gayathri Manthra chanted daily for a period of 7 years, Gayathri follows you like a shadow. Sri Krishnaparabrahmane Namah!
