Scientific Investigation of Sandhya : An ancient Brahmanical ritual

Sandhya constitutes an essential part of daily worship pattern of Vedic living. It is not just an activity but also a very subtle process of refinement of our personality. We can see it at both functionary levels either mechanical or spiritual. Most of the projection seems to be mechanical because of misunderstanding. This misunderstanding was developed by some mechanical practitioners those do not know its conceptual background from where it came into shape. Actually, it was under some reserved hands to perform and disseminate the knowledge of Sandhya to others. We can see that only some Brahmins are following and handing it down into their clan. That is why it remained a part of their essential practices without mentioning the subtle effect and its association with our inner being.

Actually, this process connects us to the Nature. If we are totally ignoring the ritualistic pattern involving water in some pots, fire sacrifice, muttering of the mantra (Gayatri), camphor, sandal wood paste, flowers and many more, it will definetly lead us towards a mechanical act. Otherwise all these things are not only  purifying our surroundings but also preparing us for the more advanced spiritual heights because our every action and matterial we are using are some how representing the essential tattvas of being. We are going towards the more deeper vision of the Pancha-Mahabhutas through this practice.
