A WORD TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION

[Ms Tercy Lonan]

A WORD TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION
Our young college students, who are under the influence of wrong Samskaras and wrong
education and evil company, have forgotten all about the glory and high efficacy of Sandhya. They
are not doing Sandhya. Sandhya has no meaning for them. They have become Godless men. They
want laboratory tests and scientific proofs for the usefulness of Sandhya, before they begin to do
Sandhya. It must be supported by the statements of western scientists. The words of ancient Rishis
do not appeal to them. What a greatly degraded state!
O young students! Do not ruin yourself by neglecting Sandhya. Regular performance of
Sandhya will give you success in life and material and spiritual prosperity, good health and long
life, purity of heart, and help you to attain God-realisation. Do it from now at least. Yet there is hope
for you. Wake up. Be sincere.
Now take strict resolve from this very moment to be regular in your daily Sandhya, even
under many distractions and obstacles. Begin it from this very moment. Do not delay. Reduce your
useless activities. Talk little. Do not mix much. You will get plenty of time for your Sandhya.
Be strict in your Sandhya. Let there be rain or wind. Even if the Pralaya comes, do not leave
it half-done. Many people say that they have not got time to perform Sandhya. They have to attend
several functions. This is due to their weakness and lack of good Samskaras. They do not know the
glory of this divine science. If they see one of their friends sitting on the banks of the river and
performing Sandhya, they will begin to shout or they will play some sort of mischief. But these poor
creatures do not know what secret is hidden behind the Sandhya. The Secret of secrets is hidden in
this sacred performance. This is why ancient Rishis say: “One who does not perform daily Sandhya
is a real animal.”
May God give you the mind to perform daily Sandhya at any cost. May you follow the rules
of Sandhya. May you realise the glory of Sandhya-Vijnana and be free from all tribulations and
torments. May the divine science named Sandhya-Vijnana bestow purity, immense joy and
immortality on you!
