Srimadacharya's injunctions for the right procedures to followed in a day from morning to night by a Vaishnava is detailed by him in his work sadAcharasmRuti . A Vaishnava should, as soon as he wakes up pray to Lord Vishnu, and at the close of the day, before retiring to bed, should pray to the Lord. In between ,he should observe austere practices. The procedure for washing the teeth, taking bath (preferably in a river or natural source of water) by reciting 'purusha sukta','Aghamarshana sukta' etc. have been clearly stated in this work. Then follows 'sandhyavandana', 'pooja' , taking food,study,teaching,rest,evening pooja etc. which have all been clearly stated for the guidance of his followers by Srimadacharya in simple language in about forty slokas.If anyone is fortunate to be able follow the procedures and ausreities stated in this work, he shall be following Srimadachaya's exhortation in the 'dvadasastotra'- SANTATAM CHINTAYET ANANTAM ANTAKALE VISHESHATAH, and that is the duty of a true Vaishnava.

In earlier days Sampradaya Songs were sung by ladies of househould which were treasure-trove of our siddanta presented in a simple manner. Ladies sang it daily while doing their chores... kids listening to their grandmothers/mothers/aunts/ sisters got first hand knowledge of our tattwas. In the current age of TVs/Videogames the whole tradition is lost, neither does we/our sisters and our aunts know those songs anymore nor our kids have patience to listen to grandmothers. Even the grandmothers are hooked to TV Soaps ... Many visitors of the website have shared songs that they have grown up listening and I am very grateful to each one of them for sharing and would love to share the same. I have recorded few songs as well which I will upload in the near future....
I would love to add more Songs if visitors can share them for benefit of all of us...
