SADAACHARA SMRUTI - BHAGAVATH CHINTANE

Bhagavath chintane 

Specific time for specific Bhagavath Roopa

According to pancharatra agama vidhana

Pratah kaleh Keshavan tu

Govindam sangave thatha

Madyanathi pathim Vishnum

Madhukgnam aprantha pathe

Sayankalam Narasimham thu

Hrishikesham pradhoshake

The people who read Narayana varma will definitely know for every kala we should worship different form of Vishnu. The sloka means during pratah kala we should pray to Keshava. In sangava kala Govinda and madyana Vishnu. During aparana kala pray Madhu, sayankala Narasimha and pradhosha kala to Hrishikesha.

One day consists of Day and Night. The day is further divided into five parts from sun rise to sun set. These five parts are called divAmana. The divAmana is equally divided into a time interval of 2:30 hours (exactly 2 hrs 24 mins). So for the day there are pratah kala, sangava kala, madyan kala, aparana kala, sayankala. Let us say the sun rises at 6 am. So 6 am plus 2 hours 30 minutes; 6 am to 8:30 am is Pratah kaala. In this kala we will be very enthusiastic. Should do nityakarma in this kala.This kala is where we should think of Keshava. That is we should pray Bharathi Ramana Mukya Pranathargatha Keshavaya nam:. For married ladies it is pathiyanthargatha  Bharathi Ramana Mukya Pranathargatha Keshavaya nam: (ladies please add pathiyanthargatha before every nama). Next kala is from 8:30 am to 11:00 am, is called sangava kaala. We can see sun rays everywhere. The people who are reading new lessons or slokas can do in pratah and sangava kala. In this sangava kala we should pray Lord Govinda. In the madyana kala we should pray Vishnu. This is the time where bramhacharis will finish their veda reading (adhyayana) and go for bhiksha. Grahasthas, brahmanas will do sacrifices (yaajana) and pitru karya will be done in this kaala. A person has to do madyanikka mrtika snana and madyanikka sandyavandhana in this period.  Hence Vishnu has to pray in this time. He who gives heat from within the sun is Vishnu. Aparana is the fourth part of the day, it’s when sun moves from east to west. Usually everybody finishes lunch and eat beetle leaf (tambula).       In ancient times people used to sit together as a family and will speak about God. People can lie down but should not sleep during this time. We should pray Madhusudhana in this kala. The last part of the day is sayankala. This is usually called rakshasha kala. Shraddha should not be done. This period is eligible only to do sayam sandhya, and light deepa and do some prayers. No other work (kriyas) has to be done in this period. Usually in ancient times people used to bring samithagalu from forest and bring the cows (govu) to home after grazing. That’s why this kala is also called godhooli kala. In this period Narasimma came to kill the rakshaha, hence should think of Shri Narasimma.

In this sandhya kaala or sayankala strictly

No food

No drinks (tea/coffee/water)

No mating

Should not sleep

No reading new lessons

If one eats food/drinks he/she will get disease. One mates with spouse bad child will be born. As we all know since Diti and Kashayapa mated during sandhya kala they got Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu (asura santati).  If we read (do adyayana) our knowledge will decrease. There will be misunderstanding of the concept in whatever we read. If we sleep in this kaala we will lose our longevity of life (our ayushya will decrease). Hence its better to do mouna/japa. Or sing songs/say mantra on Shri Hari.

The first part of the evening is called prodhosha kaala. We also call this as dusk/nightfall. We should do smarane of Hrishikesha. As we all know Hrishikesha is the Lord of senses. Hence in this period we should control our senses.

In ancient times our ancestors after sayam sandya used to say purana, in the first part of nightfall. If we don’t know puranas let us at least call the vidvaans and make them say puranas, and do bhajanas. We can have pur dinner at this time. We can say sukthas, Krishna stotras, venkatesha stotras, Narasimha stotra, Rama stotra. We can say Narasimha stotra

Matha Narasimhascha

Pitha Narasimho

Bratah Narasimhacha

Saka Narasimhah

Vidyaa Narasimho

Dravinam Narasimhah

Swamim Narasimha

Sakkalam Narasimha

Itho Narasimha

Paratho Narasimho

Yatho yatho yahihi thatho Narasimha

Narasimha devaath paro na kaschit

Tasmaan Narasimam sharanam prapadey

Marjanam tava veejanam

Sarjanam sarva sampatham

Trasanam yama dhudanam

Harehe nama garjanam

Meaning

Matha – mother ; pitha – father ; bratah – brother ; Saka – friend;

Vidya – knowledge;  dravinam – wealth; swamim – My Lord

Sakkalam – everything; ithah – here, in this world; Paratho – beyond this world. Yatho yahih thatho – everyever I go

Mother is Narasimha.Father is Narasimha. Brother is Narasimha; Friend is Narasimha. Knowledge is Narasimha; Wealth is Narasimha
My Lord is Narasimha; Everything is Narasimha. Narasimha is in this world, Narasimha is everywhere (Omnipresent). Wherever I go, there is Narasimha. Narasimha is the Supreme Lord, there is none other than HIM. So, I humbly seek refuge in you, Shri Narasimha. Narasimha! He is present everywhere. He is there with us always. There is no one superior to him. He gets rid of all troubles, fear of yama dhudats. This sloka acts as a protective shield for us all the time.

Should have dinner after 48 minutes of sunset.

In the mutts, usually morning 8:30 porridge (ganji) just three somutu. So that we won’t feel lazy due to stomach full or will not feel weak due to empty stomach. We should not eat rice in the night on dhashami and dwadashi, on the day we give tharpana. No mosaru anna during nigth, can eat majige. If we eat mosaru in the night our life span(ayusha) will decrease. Usually after dinner it’s good to have a walk of 100 steps so that we won’t go to bed with our tummy full. It would be good if we think of Shri Hari while walking.

Should sleep after one yaama of the night. That is we should sleep after 9 pm within 9.30 pm. So that we can easily wake up at brahmi muhurtta. While lying down think of Janardhana. While we wake up inbetween also we should think of his avatars. Before going to bed we sould wash our hands and legs do namaskara to God and pray him, swami from the morning to this minute all the works that has been done is done by you through mukyaprana devaru. I might have done some bad activities too, you have stood within me and made the tattva abhimani daityas through mukya prana devaru to do them. [Swami, belege indha ratri tanakka yella kelasagalu madisiddhi adhu yella nine nan olege ninthu mukyaprana devara dwara madisiddhi. Yella kelasavu ninna maha pooje. Nannidha telidho teliyadhayo keta kelasagalu agidhe. Aa keta kelasagalu kuda nine olage ninthu tattva abhimani devatagalu daityara moolaka mukya prana devara moolaka madisiddhi. Edhana parishkara madu swami. Nanna karma lepava doora madu.]

We should also pray:

kaayena vacha manase indriya vaa

Buddhy Aatmanaa vaa prakriti svabhaavat

Karoti yad yat sakalam parasmai

Narayana yati samarpayami

Kaayena – body

Vacha – speech

Manase – mind

Indriya – senses

Buddhya – intellect

Aatmana – feelings of heart/ unconsciously

Prakrit - natural

Svabhaavat - character

Karoti yad yat – whatever I do

Sakalam – all

Parasmai – for others

Narayana – lord Narayana

samarpaye – surrender

asmi – me

I surrender all the actions done by me in the form of speech, body, mind senses, intellect.

We all get night mares. In order to avoid night mares or bad dreams should pray bhagavath bhakthas along with God

Agasthyo Madhava chaiva muchukundho mahamuni hi

Kapilomunir  asthikaha panchaike sukha shayinaha.

Ramam skandam hanumantham vynatheyam vrukodharam

Shayane yat smarer nityam durswapnam tasya nashyathi.

We should not sleep in the north direction.

If we sleep in east we gain knowledge (Vidya).

If we sleep in south our Dharma and ayushya increases.

If we sleep in west our tension or unwanted thoughts increases.

If we sleep in north we are nearing death or destruction.

As we wake up in the morning we should think of Shristi karya of Shri Hari, in the afternoon should think of Sthiti, and while we sleep Laya of Shri Hari.
