HİNDUİZM'DEKİ GÜNLÜK İBADETLERDEN: SANDHYAVANDANAM

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.
