From the heart
In the year 1985, I stayed as “antevasi” at the home of our guru, Brahmashree Oruganti Nilakantha Sastri garu, in Krishna Nagar, Guntur, for about a month. During that period I learned many relevant things, and was also blessed to receive Mantra Diksha from him. He would do trikala sandhyavandana parayana. One day he showed me an old booklet on “Sarva varṇulaku Sandhyopasana” - Sandhyopasana to people of all varnas, without distinction between men and women, and said that women are also eligible to perform sandyopasana. The book, published in 1953, also contained information related to Sriyagam according to our tradition of Sri Kalyanananda Bharati.
Later, Brahmashree Nori Subrahmanya Shastri, who also belongs to our tradition, printed and distributed 1500 copies of that book on behalf of their trust in 2012, on Sricharanula birthday.
Kalyana Sricharanulu is my parama guru. Taking it as an instruction of Jagadguru, keeping his selfless desire of universal welfare as dictum, and applying it to the current world scenario, “Saṃdhyāvaṃdanaṃ to all” is being presented to you. I hope everyone will be able to understand this properly and get Guru’s blessings.
