Sandya vandanam made easy :)

One fine morning i would wake up early, wear dothi and vibuthi (sacred ash) and start doing sandy. Immediately i can hear my amma telling me “enna da thidernu!!!” “avan naan sonna kekka maatan, avanukka
thonina dan pannuvan”. Every single time i would think “this time i would do it daily, atleast in the mornings”. But one fine day i would have an extended nap, short time to get ready, and eventually i would skip it. Slowly the habit fades away. And my pancha pathram starts waiting for that fine morning which would inspire me to do my nithya karma.

With this thought running in my mind for quite some time, I think tommorow is the long awaited day :)

As i had been restarting this again and again, i remember the procedures and mantras.
But many would have taken and a long break. Ppl would have realised that they should start, but this would be in the back of their mind, probably getting a lesser priority among, office, people, relationships, home, mobile, and everything else. Guys who wanted to start but didnt really start for more than a few reasons.
Can visit this link

கோடை


ஆதவனே, அதிகாலை நேரத்தில் உன் தாகம் தனிக்க

அழகான பனித்துளிகள் அத்தனையும் உறிகின்றாய்

கோடையின் தாகம் உன்னையும் தக்கிட்ரோ

பின் ஏன் உலர்ந்து போன உழவர்களின் உயிரயும் உறிகின்றாய்...


கோடையில் செந் நெய் போல் கொதிக்கும் சில இடங்கள்

கோடையை கானல் நீராய் நினைக்கும் சில இடங்கள்


சமத்துவம் பாறா உனக்கு சாகும் வரை தூக்கு....
