From the Foreword: “In this book both the vaidiki and tantriki sandhyas are given. All twice-born persons are entitled to the first; while the tantriki is meant for all mankind, without distinction of caste, race or creed. The Yajur vedi sandhya is based upon the text published by Pandit Devi Datt Joshi. It is an excellent handbook. A chapter on the sandhya of the Rig-Vedins as well as one on the tantriki sandhya is added.

In the present edition, the mid day duties namely the worship of Visnu, Siva etc., is also given, as well as the five great sacrifices. The book is more than double the size of the last edition.” (jacket)
