[Advaita-l] Chanting Gayatri overseas

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

I hope you understand Nitya Karmas like Sandhya and Pooja are common to all
Brahmins. But there are different Sampradayas.

After doing Nitya Karmas a Smartha Brahmin must be interested in Vedanta.
He should not be satisfied with only Puranic stories like Parashurama
Avatara, Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and so on.
The stories he can listen from anywhere. But Vedanta is the goal because
Advaita is Vedanta and Vedanta and Advaita.
First step is Adi Sankara's Viveka Chudamani.

After that he can study other books like Upadesha Sahasri. Then he has to
learn Upanishads and Gita Bhashya and Brahma Sutra Bhashya from Guru only.
