In winters it will be very late around 8.30-9.00 AM and 4.30-5 PM and in summers it will be 4.30-6 AM and 7.30-9.30 PM. Summer time it is okay for my husband to do sandhi without disturbing office time. But in winter it is very very cold and snowy and difficult to ; out in bare body in that time also he needs to be at work. How to cope up with this ? Also maintaining thulasi is very difficult at winters inside home. Now what he does is to sticks to after bath time like 6-7 AM to cope up with going to office.

Answer:

Basically the Vedic recitals and Mantra prayogam are meant for the Punya Bhoomi known as Bharatha Kandam, thats Bharat. They never would have thought that the Brahmin community would spread all over the world and would be performing the rituals. According some learned scholars, the recitals would lose its value if it is done during un-time. Present days compulsion of survival makes one to migrate to any place where opportunities abound to sustain their livelihood.

Yet, it is essential to perform the Anushtanam as far as possible within the available time frame than totally discarding it. It is best recommended to adhere to the local timings and prevailing conditions and continue to do the prayer part as per the local sun rise timing and not to stick to Indian timings. It is more important to perform the daily Sandhya Vandanam with Gayatri at before Sun-rise and during sun-set timing, respectively, according to the local time zone.
