Pranams and sashtanga namaskarams to all. One Alwar recommending another!!!!. This writer is totally floored. Shri Dr.MAM Alwar : The writer requests you to reply to this mail. His prime aim is to compose a work on the significance and detailed steps, rationale, logic of Sandhyavandanam and Yoga. The writer is a Yoga teacher woking in a private bank in Bombay. He needs help only in terms of tons of information. Sources, shlokas/mantras, references, web-site details, books; publishers, scholars, writers, teachers - he needs all such information. His constraint is : absolutely no access to the web directly - he can only send/receive emails thru this id Over the past one year he has been composing a series of 108 questions on Sandhyavandanam and related topics. He will shortly post it to the group. side by side he would also like to form a forum locally to start with to spread the importance of Sandhyavandanam to the people in general. For all this, more than money/finance, he needs mental support from deep rooted devoutees who grace these fora. Information is the key. Authentic information at that since. Regards once more.and looking forward to hear from you all.
