Chanting Gayetri Mantra?
Has anyone read the book " Nitya Puja Prakash" from Pandit Lal Bihari Mishra? I found the full process of chanting gayetri mantra there but its for Sandhya Upasana. I want to chant gayetri mantra daily but doing it three times a day is not possible so i want to do it in the morning. I just want to know for only Gayetri Jap do i have to start from Snakalp..Aasan sodhi i.e from page 52 in the book or can i directly start from page 66? Page 52 starts with wearing Pabitra ..achman..Snakalp..Aasan sodhi and all the long process that takes hours while from page 52 comes with some mudra and then Gayetri mantraa jap!! Please shed light on this if you yourself chant gayetri or if you know the right process! Thank you,

In Sandhya upasana you have to do argya pradhan and then the Gayatri Japa. These rituals are initiated at the time of thread ceremony which is normally done for brahmin and Kshatriya communities, I do not know which community you belong . Assuming that you are not from the two communities mentioned earlier , you may chant the gayatri by sitting in sukhasana ie cross legged position , mentally 108 times by keeping your eyes closed .. Kindly do it regularly. THe communities who have been initiated during thread ceremony are supposed to do the sandhyopasana 3 times a day . However due to limitation of time they do it twice ie morning and evening only . They do the madhyannika sandhya on auspicious days like narial poornima , navratri period etc.
