Prayaschitta Procedures Non Performance Sandhyavandan

Please check with your family priest for clarification.

I have been able to find Prayaschitta for most of the Sins.

I have not been able to find any for neglecting Sandhyavandana.

I think the Sandhyavandana was performed so regularly then, people never imagined that people would miss it.

However, the Prayaschitta Argya in the Sandhyavandana should do as atonement.

No Sandhyavandan Procedure In The Vedas ?

I replied that, to the best o my knowledge that the procedure for Sraddha is laid down in the Smritis and that I do not ind a reference to it in the Veda.

While making this comment I made a remark that I was not sure whether Sandyavandana procedure was mentioned in the Vedas.

I received a feedback that Vedas and Upanishad do mention Sandhyavandana.

I have been able to locate the reference, which I reproduce......

Even this does not constitute a procedure for performing Sandhyavandana.

I am yet to check the Aranyakas.

References to worship of the Sun is mentioned, no procedures to be followed are set.

Inputs clarifications welcome
