Dear SandhyA worshippers :
few days ago ,there was a question from
Sriman Sudarsan Parthasarathy ,If I remember right ,
on a manthram visualizing gayathri at MadhyAhnika
sandhi as seated on Rishabha Vaahanam and of Rudra
Roopam . Here is a clue as to where it might have come from .
> As you know, smArta-s have most of their sandhya guidelines
>from devi bhAgavatham. I read in book (published by LIFCO)
>that even shrIvaishnavas refer to it. Is it so?
Devi Bhagavtham is a huge book and covers a lot of
ground including incidents referred to in the other purAnams.
It glorifies DEvi (Sri LalithA ParamEsvari in
Her many forms ) as the Supreme deity .
Sri VaishNavAs are not very familar with it and
do not make use of it as a source grantham for their needs.
