❓ What are the essential daily practices (Nitya Karma) recommended for householders?

The Grihya Sutras outline essential daily practices for householders that remain relevant today. These include:

• Morning meditation or prayer (Sandhyavandana)
• Maintaining physical and mental purity
• Conscious eating practices (Anna Yoga)
• Service to others (Seva)

The Taittiriya Upanishad 1.11.1 emphasizes truth-speaking and dharmic conduct as fundamental daily practices. These rituals aren't meant to be burdensome but rather serve as practical tools for maintaining spiritual awareness while fulfilling worldly duties.
