So all their mantras will have 100, 1000, 100, 000 (Lakh= laksha) or Koti (ten million).īrahmins recite one other mantra before this Yama mantra.

They were the inventors of decimal system.
SANDHYA VANDANAM TAMIL FULL
Hindus fixed one’s full life span as 100. Because we know Yama will visit us one day with his accountant/ assistant Chitra Gupta.Īnother belief among Hindus is that by reciting certain mantras, you can avoid death until you are hundred years old. If they recite Yama mantra every day this will give them some solace. But some people find it very difficult to overcome such a big shock. As births in any family are common, deaths are also common in all our families. Remembering death every day serve as shock absorbers. This is because Hindus believe that the merits (Punya) that one earns in this life will help one in the afterlife. Remembering death every day will make them do good things without any delay. Why do Hindus, particularly Brahmins, worship Yama every day? Without realising this, so called Dravidian political parties of Tamil Nadu also follow this and wear Black badges for funerals!! Yama is always associated with South. Even today Christians and Jews wear only black dress for funeral ceremonies. Black is the colour of death all over the world.

Like Kali, Sanaischara (Saturn), Vishnu, Vyasa, Krishna, Rama, Yama is also black. This is another blow to Aryan Dravidian theory. Yama is known as Dharma Raja, Mrtyu, Antaka, Vaivasvata, Kala, Sarva Bhoota Kshayakara, Audumbara, Dathna, Neela, Parameshti, Vrukodara, Chitra, Chitra Gupta (14 names) in the mantra. Brahmins, and in olden days, all the three castes Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vaisya were performing this ritual known as Sandhyavandhanam (Surya Worship) thrice a day just before sun rise, mid day and during sun set. I turn towards South and recite a mantra for Yama, Lord of Death, in my daily prayers called Sandhya vandanam. I feel very proud to continue the tradition that was started at least 5000 years ago on the banks of the mighty River Sarasvati. “Brahmins deserve an entry in to Guinness Book of Records” (Posted in and until 3rd December 2011 in 9 parts over nine days) written by London swaminathanĪs a Brahmin I worship the Vedic God Yama every day along with Agni, Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Vayu, Arka (sun), Vageesa (Brihspati/ Jupiter) and Vishvedeva.
