What is the difference between Dhyan and Sandhya? (ध्यान और संध्या में क्या भेद हैं?)
It can be understood by the readers in such a way that where the Dharana (fixing the mind at one thing/place) is done, a uniform flow of knowledge remains there is called Dhyan. According to Yog philosopher Maharishi Patanjali, "तत्र प्रत्ययैकतानता ध्यानम्". According to Sankhyakar Maharishi Kapila, "रागोपहति ध्यानम्" Dhyan is the state of getting rid of attachment and aversion. "ध्यानं निर्विषयं मन:" Removing the mind from physical objects and focusing on the soul, God is meditation. In general, the state of concentration is called meditation/Dhyan. Wherever it be. Dhyan can be on the objects of nature, mind, soul or God anywhere.
'संध्या-'सन्ध्यायन्ति सन्ध्यायते वा परब्रह्म यस्यां सा संध्या'
When we meditate well or in which we meditate on God, that action is Sandhya. Sandhya is a part of Brahma yajna. This is the worship of the Supreme Lord i.e. Brahma. Which is a daily karma and is done in the morning before sunrise and in the evening from sunset till the time of star sighting. The methods and areas of meditation/Dhyan may be different, but the method of worshiping God is the same for everyone, that is the Sandhya. The word Sandhya is famous in the world as the meeting of day and night at sunset, but this is a pity. Very few people know the fact that the meaning of Sandhya is to worship God with proper chanting and contemplation of the Ved Mantras. While Dhyan is a widely known word that happens anywhere, you also say to children read carefully(Dhyan se), walk carefully, play carefully, speak carefully, eat carefully, listen carefully. What a beautiful song, Look carefully how beautiful it is, Read carefully what is written, Smell carefully, What a nice fragrance, Touch carefully, do not burn anywhere, Care should be taken not to fall anywhere, going carefully is a pit, climbing a tree carefully, the branch is weak and writing carefully in the examination, do not do wrong, etc., etc., keep on using "Dhyan" in practice at many places.(Consider 'carefully' as 'dhyan se' in above examples) Therefore, the word 'Sandhya' cannot be used in place of 'Dhyan' at these places. Whereas the meditation of God is only Sandhya.
Does the method of meditating of God differ? (क्या ईश्वर के ध्यान या संध्या का तरीका भिन्न-भिन्न होता है?)
The sages have invoked the Ved mantras for Sandhya or Brahma Yajna. The sequence of Sandhya Vidhi should also be kept in the same way as prescribed by Maharishi Swami Dayanand Saraswati for all Aryas/Hindus. The sequence is as follows.
Shikha Bandhan(tie braid) through Guru Mantra or Gayatri.
Achaman.
Angsparsh (touch body parts)
Marjan.
Pranayama.
3 Mantras of Aghamarshan.
6 Mantras of Manasa Parikrama.
4 Mantras of Upasthan.
Achaman again.
Gurumantra again.
Namaskar Mantra.
If the system of worship of the whole world becomes one, then man can be saved from partition, bloodshed and destruction done by the division on the basis of religion, caste, language, province, country etc. This is the only way to world peace. Apart from this, there is no way to end wars, diseases/pandemics completely in the world. When the divine power resides with man, then he attains the ultimate goal of life by becoming strong, intelligent, pious, character, scientist. Therefore a scientific, universal, all-embracing system of worship should be accepted by all of us. The welfare of al lies in this only. Here we have given audio of Sandhya Mantras. You can also learn Sandhya by listening to it.
