Dear all,As I’ve recently embarked on the journey of learning Sandhyavandanam, I’ve come across several errors in some of the popularly recommended books (yajurveda sv). Wish to share this here so that readers may be aware.

The books:

The mistakes

1. Sandhyavandana Bashyam by Sri Anna, Ramakrishna Matt Publ.

2. Shree Sandhyavandanam by Brahmashri Srivathsa Somedeva Sharma, Surabhi Jagadguru Satapthi Publ.

This is the most concerning one, the new print has several errors in almost all parts of the book. I intend to contact the publishers when I go to chennai ang give them complete list of the errors that I have spotted, if it may be of any help to them.

Edit: I created this new thread as I intend to add more mistakes as I find them, esp. in sri sv.

Update: I am aghast, giri's Yajurveda Trikaala Sandhyavandhana book may have a mistake in the gayatri mantra itself. While trying to recite, I felt something odd, hence referred to the videos/audios I was following, (the first one being giri's own TS Ranganathan's casette).

It was the svaritam at the last akshara of धीमहि. As far as my untrained ear can sense, does not sound as if being recited in svaritam even by TS Ranganathan, elders are requested to advice: The word in Giri's pratassandhya video: .
Oddly the english transliteration below it has no svaritam there.

Also to note is the misprint on the dheerga svaritam in Varenyam, which is also present properly in the english trans-lit below.

Further uses in other sections of the book:

Dheerna svartiam of varenyam also seems to disappear in the trans-lit.

At japam, the dheerga svaritam is there but the 'dheemahi' svaritam in the english translit also disappears

Learned elders of this forum, please tell me if these are indeed mistakes.
@tbs sir, @vrajagopalan57 mama Please help.
