The benefits of Sandhyavandana:
It is a beautiful art and celebration of nature that we are slowly losing. The cleanliness, preservation of nature and ed-stressing exercises have all gone with the wind.

The benefits of Sandhyavandana:
- It brings down the stress levels - especially important in a chaotic India. The Pranayama & Gayathri Manthra to be performed in 6 hour intervals can indeed calm tempers.
- Early morning and early evening times are most conducive for learning and children do their meditation before their studies to improve their concentration.
- It stresses a lot on hygiene. The rituals have to be performed after bathing and has a lot of cleaning exercises. In a crowded, dirty nation, you cannot stress enough the importance of hygiene.
- The hymns address various gods of nature and brings a certain appreciation for nature's beauty. Arden practitioners face the early morning sun standing in a river and enjoy the divine joy of nature's bounty.
- It brings a discipline in us. Having to do it 3 times day on specific periods builds a sort of rhythm.
- It builds a bond between the elders and young guys in the home. In traditional households, the grandfathers, fathers, sons, uncles, cousins and brothers all perform the ritual at the same time and given the meanings of many manthras praying for family peace, it brings a sort of calmness to home.
- It connects us to our ancient culture. It teaches about our great men of the past and how our ancestors performed the rituals.
It is a beautiful art and celebration of nature that we are slowly losing. The cleanliness, preservation of nature and ed-stressing exercises have all gone with the wind.
