performing the japam after 6.6 PM, change Sravana to Sravishta nakshtra yukthayam.If you are doing it after 12.28 AM of 14-8-2011 IST , change also Pornamasyam Shubha Thidhou to Pradhamyam Shubha Thidhou .This would be for example applicable in many parts of USA. This is also applicable to mantras of Maha Sankalpam given below. Summary meaning:The Brahmin first prays God that the time of doing whatever it may be should become holy and this he is sure is achieved by prayer to God.Then he tells when he is doing this japa, for example which year, which season, which day and so on.And he says that this japa is being done as a repentance for his not perfornming various religious duties during the year that he ought to have performed.The main manthra is a prayer to pardon the lapses which were due to Kama(passion) krodha(anger) and lopa(avarice) 3.Maha Samkalpam (13-8-2011 after Madhyaanikam and Brahma yagnam@) a.Aachamanam b.Shuklam baradharam.. c.Om bhoo d.Maha samkalpam Apavithra pavithro vaa sarvaavasthaam gathopi vaa , ya smareth pundari kaksham, sabahyanthara suchi , manasam vaachikam paapam , karmanaa Samuparjitham, sri Rama smaranenaiva vyopahathi na samsaya .Sree rama Rama rama Tidhir Vishnu, Tatha vaara, nakshatram Vishnu reva cha Yogascha karanam chaiva sarvam Vishnu mayam Jagat , Sri Govinda , Govinda, Govinda Aadya sri bhagawatha, Aadi vishno, Aadinarayanasya achinthyaya , aparimithaya, sakthyaa, briyamaanasya, mahaa jaloughasya madhye, paribrhamatham aneka koti brhmaandanam madhye, eka thame, prithya aptejo vayvakaasaa ahankaradhi -mahada vyakthai-aavaranair- aavruthe- asmin mahathi bramanda-karandaka-madhye aadhara sakthi koormaa nandathi ashta diggajopari prathishtithasya , athala-vithala-suthala-rasaathala-thalaa thalamahaathala-pathalakyai loka sapthakasya upari thale, punya kruthaam nivaasabhuthe bhoor bhuvar-suvar-mahar-janarr-thapa-satyaakhyai loka shatkasya adho bhage mahaa nalayamana phani raja seshasya sahasra phanaa mani mandala mandithe, dighdanthi-shunda dhanda-uttambhithe, panchasath koti yojana vistheerne, lokaloka achalena valayithe lavaneshu-sura-sarpi-dhadhiksheera-udakaarnavischa parivruthe, jambhu-plaksha-saka-salmalikusa-krouncha-pushkarakhya saptha dweepanaam madhye, Jamboo dweepe, Bharatha varshe, bharatha kande, prajaapathi kshetre dandakaaranyachamapakaaranya-vindhyaaranya-veekshaaranya-vedaaranayaadhi, aneka punya aaranyaanam Madhya pradeshe, karma bhoomou, rama sethu-kedharayoo madya pradaeshe , Bhaageerathi-Gouthami-Krishna veni-Yamuna-NarmadaaThungabadhraa-Triveni-Malaapahaarini-kaveri- ithyadi , aaneka punya nadhi viraajithe, Indraprastha-Yamaprastha-Aavanthikaapuri-Hasthinaapuri-Ayodhyaa puri-Maayaa puri-Kasi puri-Kanchi puri-Dwarakaa aadi aneka punya puree viraajithe Sakala jagat srushta, parardha dwaya jeevana, bramana dweethiya parardhe, Pancha sathabdhou, prathame varshe, prathame mase, prathame pakshe, prathame divasae, aahni, dweethiye yame, trithiye muhurthe, swayambhuva-swarochisha-uthama-thamasa-raivatha-chakshu shakheshu, shatsu manusha atheetheshu, sapthame vaivaswathe manvanthare, aashta vimsathi thame, kali yuge, prathame padhe, Jamboo dweepe, Bharatha varshe , Bharatha kande, Mero dakshine parswe.

Summary meaning:Here again apart from locating oneself with reference to time , one locates himself with reference to place also.We are supposed to live in Jambu Dweepa, Bharatha Kanda which is south of the great mountain Maha meru.Then again this Bhasratha Kanda is blessed with many holy rivers and holy places.Then prayer is done to God to pardon sins committed by word, thought and deed, because this was done inspite of his great grace which made us be born as human beings after several wheels of birth.Also the sins performed during several ages in life is highlighted.Some of the sins specifically mentioned are those done while earning money without conscience, giving money to improper people, actions which did not suit the caste we are born in, sins due to non performance of actions which ought to have been done and so on. We pray God and tell him that we would take bath in holy pure water and then start the veda parayanas which is our duty as Brahmin. 4.Yagnopa veetha dharana manthra After bath again change poonal by reciting manthra as given in s.No.1.Please note that now a days very rarely people take bath after mahaa sankalpam but do prokshana snanam i.e bath by sprinkling of water on the head. 5.Kanda Rishi Tharpanam 1,Aachamanam 2,Shklaama baradharam 3.Om bhoo 4.Mamo patha samastha durida kshya dwara sri parameshwata preethyartham sravanyaam pournamaasyam adhyoyapakrama karmangam kanda rishi tharpanam karishye.

Good ritualistic worship in detail. Thanks Truly yours Shankerprasad S bhatt M.Com July 9, 2011 3:45 PM
H.V.Venkatesh said... Thanks for this great service. It is very useful for many persons and specially for those stying in foreign countries. Pl continue this in future also. H.V.Venkatesh, Bangalore July 10, 2011 6.00pm July 10, 2011 6:07 AM
Iyer said... I normally shudder to bring to the knowledge of any presenter 'mistakes' which may appear to be so to my mind, to his notice. However, the present one I am confident that it needs to be rectified and hence I am making myself bold to publish it here. Being a Gayatri-upaasak, I thought I would be failing in my duty if I do not do so. Well. Wherever Gayatri is mentioned here it is printed wrongly as follows: Om Bhur bhuva Swah "... tatsa vithurvarenyam Bhargo devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo yona prachodayath" In fact it should be recited as follows: Om Bhur bhuva Swah, "... tat savithur varenyam Bhargo devasya Dheemahi Dhiyo yona: prachodayaath" "... tatsa vithurvarenyam..." is not Gayatri. It is something which has no relevance to us. But when we say "... tat savithur varenyam..." then it acquires all the meaning and relevance and reverence. Gayatri is a prayer addressed to Savita (Sun). "Savita" cannot be split as "...tatsa vithur..." All our effort, all the time we spend in performing Gayatri Japam is defeated when we recite it wrongly as "...tatsa vithur varenyam...". Our efforts would be well spent only, I repeat, only when we chant Gayatri as "...tat savithur varenyam..." July 10, 2011 9:32 AM
Iyer said... Sorry I forgot to add this: Otherwise this is an wonderful effort on the part of the "Kerala Brahmin" which would be profoundly helpful to many including myself. I would also request that as soon as he incorporates the correction I have brought to his notice above, he may kindly delete my comment as it would be no more relevant then. July 10, 2011 9:38 AM

Kerala Brahmin said... I would carry out the correction pointed out soon July 20, 2011 2:01 AM
sivaraman iyer said... Definitely this will help who are not having a Vadhyar / Acharya. In Today's condition Brahmins are spread world-wide and won't get Vadhyars whereever they go. Even though what I suggest is: Please practice Sandhyavandanam daily. Perform it atleast One time daily. Before start this, learn thoroughly from a learned Acharya. Hardly it will take a week's time. Because the prayogam differs from sect to sect like Iyers, Iyengars, Dakshina Andhra Style, Maadva. Today's young generation is quite capable to grasp this fastly. I appeal all to learn thoroughly. In this text one is missing. For Bhramacharis Kamokaarsheeth Japa and Samithathaanam is also to be performed. Snaana Sankalpam, Yagnopaveetha dhaaraam. Sravana Homam to be performed only after Maadhyanam. Next Day Gayatri Mahamantra Japam is to be performed. Om Namah: Shivaya. July 23, 2011 11:41 PM
sivaraman iyer said... I mean Kamo Karsheeth Japam is only for Brahmacharis. July 23, 2011 11:44 PM
Meera said... Great! This indeed a great service! It will be fantastic, if you have a Tamil version of it as pdf or something. August 5, 2011 7:57 AM
