What is the importance of ‘Sandhaya?
Here, ‘Sandhaya’ does not mean evening time. But, it means ‘to meditate in a good way’. Like day and night meet two times a day (first, when the Sun rises and second, when the Sun sets), these two times are considered ideal for meditation of God.
To think of God, certain mantraas of Vedaas or shalokaas of other religious books, which are in accordance with teachings of Vedaas have been selected. These mantraas or shlokaas contain prayers for power of our body and soul and appreciation of God. In these mantraas or shlokaas, it, too, has been prayed that all the factors of success (besides, our actions) may be benevolent to us. As per Maharishi Dayanand, everyone, who ardently desires to realise God should meditate for at least two hours a day. But, in doing meditation of God, our duties determined by our social position should never be neglected, otherwise we are bound to earn sin for this.
