DO’s AND DON’Ts IN DAY TO DAY LIFE - PART 7

Even now people going to office can wake up and complete upto brahmayagnam and do madhyanikam in sangva kalam)between 8.24AM-10.48AM) and finish madhyanika pooja also. This is the relaxation now for office goers.  After returning from office, evening duties may be performed.  For all these one has to have the dedication and desire in the mind.

On holidays they can do all according to the regulations.  Those who are going still early also should try to follow as much as is possible.  Even people going for night shift they should do as much as possible and all people should atleast have a desire in the mind even if they are not able to do it fully.  They should repent if they fail to perform their duties.   The repent and desire will have values and definitely the Lord will consider and shower his wishes.  After retirement no excuse should be made and we should scrupulously follow all regulations for one’s own betterment and for the betterment of the world. The rites of our religion go back to a time when no other faith was prevalent.  We must make every effort to ensure that the rites are performed.

In short  the 6 duties of a Brahmin are:

1. Adhyayanam - Learning Vedas.                

2. Adhyapanam - Teaching Vedas
3. Yajanam - Doing the yagam for himself.  

4. Yaajanam - Doing the yagam for other which they are requested for performing Homams, poojas etc., for others)

5. Dhanam - Offering to others (while doing yagams by himself)
6. Prathikraham - Getting offerings for the yagams done for others.
