RE: [sv-rituals] Proper time to do Sandhyavandanam

Dear Rohit and other BhAghavathAs, Simple formula for timing is : 5-30 to 6-30 am (in the morning) prathah sandhya vandanam immediately after prathah sandhya vandanam, mAdhyAhnikam can be completed but before 12 noon. 5-30 to 6-30 pm (in the evening) Sayam sandhya vandanam. This rule is given to me by my Grand Father, who observed the above timings strictly throughout. I feel it is very easy to remember the above principle. I do agree totally with all the opinions received till now from various bhAghavathAs.
