Respected Dileepan Sir:

Fair enough..point is absolutely valid. Procedural and belief aspect may
differ from sect to sect...example a Rig Veda Sandhya has some
differentiating points from the Sama Sandhya or the Yajur...similarly the
one for ShriVaishnavas and the Shaivas has procedural/ritualistic
differences. The Acharayas are the right persons to guide each as to
mantras and other finer aspects of the Sandhya. Even among sects as one
proceeds towards the north, within both Shaivaites and ShriVaishnavas
closer to the river Narmada in Gujarat area the procedures, prayers,
mantras differ, while the ones closer to the Himalayas and in the Garwahl
regions have different and lengthy mantras, prayers etc. In Maharashtra
itself cenrtain communities based in Pune include the Suryanamaskara with
the Sandhya.

However, the singular most common aspect is the frequent references to the
various names of Lord Vishnu, especially during achamanam. This is common
across all sects, ShriVaishnavaites as well as Shaivaites. So also is the
penultimate surrender "Saranagathi chantings to Sanka Chakra Gada,,,"
referring to Sriman Narayanan without any shred of doubt

To each his own but as you have pointed out rightly Sandhya must be done
come what may

No karma is more important than doing sandyavandanam.
For Srivaishnavas in general, and prapannas in particular,
it is equally important to avoid devatantra (demi-god)
sambandam. Sandyavandanam contains a few mantras that
do invoke devathanthras. However, a Sri Vaishnava must
not abandon sandyavandanam for any reason. Therefore,
when we recite them during sandya vandanam, we should
do so not as manthras of the devathanthras, but with
the firm knowledge that they are directed at the lotus
feet of Sriman Narayana who is the indweller of all.
Hence, our lapses, known or unkown, are forgiven by
none other than Sriman Narayana only.
