Sandhyavandanam
Hinduizm’de yüksek kastlara mensup ve iki kere doğanlar olarak adlandırılan
kişilerin şafakta, günbatımında ve gün ortasında yapmak zorunda oldukları
günlük ibadettir. Vakit, niyet, yön, temizlik gibi şartların yanı sıra belli
beden pozisyonları ve el hareketlerinden oluşan sandhyanın en önemli
özelliklerinden birisi ibadet esnasında kap kacak yardımı ile su
kullanılmasıdır. Su hem yaşam verici hem de arındırıcı özelliği ile ön
plandadır. Diğer önemli bir özellik idol kullanılmamasıdır. İbadetin merkezini Gayatri
duasının ezberden tekrarlanarak okunduğu Gayatri-japa kısmı oluşturur. İbadetin
amacı ise günahlardan arınarak Yüce Varlık ile yakınlaşabilmektir.
