Respected Sir :

Sorry for the delayed response. To clarify. The writer did not mean one
may continue to commit sins or the Sandhya is a license to commit sin.

The importance of the Sandhya and its powers were sought to be highlighted.
What was meant was as mortal humans surrounded by our material pursuits,
even if we keep on strengthening ourselves to confront evil, temptations
and other problems of the mind, they keep on attacking us. But as we keep
doing the Sandhya regularly, over a period many years, the effect of the
Sandhya will overtake the mind's workings and no evil, problem and other
thoughts will take root. On the contrary constant and sustained devoution
to the Lord will be strengthened. So during Sandhya we must necessarily
try to be outside the influence of material thoughts and influences, but
once the Sandhya is over then we have to work in this world and then the
influences will start happening. We may take much care but still we may
find in numerous testing situations.

AM Subject: [SriRangaSri] Re: purification mantras of 
Sandhyavandanam 





Dear Sriman balaji,

I totally agree with your comment .
I also believe the purification mantras of Sandhyavandanam are not a
license
to commit sin, rather are there to cleanse the sin. They may have the
power
to purify even the gravest of sins, but that doesn't mean they are
expecting
us to commit sin. Their purpose is to purifiy us from the inevitable basal
sin
associated with the act of living, may it be sin in words, deeds or
thoughts.
It can be compared to taking bath or brushing teeth, which we do
routinely.
Naturally, we don't purposely fall in a septic tank so as to fully exploit
the power of bath!
Another analogy could be like an insurance policy (Health or life).
The company that sold you the policy would like you not to ever have to use
it!
