Importance of sandhyavandanam
.विप्रो वृक्षो मूलस्तस्य सन्ध्या वेदाः शाखा धर्मकर्माणि पत्रम्
यस्मान्मूल यत्नतो रक्षणीयं छिन्नेमूले नैव शाखा नैव पत्रम् ,-याज्ञवल्क्य
.means brahmin is a tree,sandhyaa is the root,4 veda are 4 branches,dharma karma(yajna,daana,tapasya,japa,upasana etc) are its leaves.If the root dies no branches and leaves willl survive-Yajnavalkya smriti.
यो अन्यत्र कुरुते यत्नं धर्म कार्ये द्विजोत्तमः
विहाय संध्यां प्रणतिं स याति नरकायुतं ,-मनु स्मृति
those brahmins who do other upasana without sandhya,they go to hell-Manu smriti.
नोपतिष्ठति यः पूर्वं नोपास्ते यश्च पश्चिमां
स शूद्रवद् वहिः कार्यः सर्वस्माद्द्विज कर्मणः,-दक्ष स्मृति.
the brahmin who never does sandhya at sun rise or sun set,make him out from all brahminical sacrifices treating him as a shoodra-Daksha smriti.
संध्या येन न विज्ञाता संध्या नैवाप्युपासिता
जीवन्नपि भवेच्छूद्र मृतः श्वा चाभि जायते ,-शातातप स्मृति
he dont know sandhya,who never does it..becomes shoodra till his death and after death takes birth from the canines(dog)-Shatatapa smriti.
सूतके मृतके चैव संध्याकर्मं समाचरेत्
मनसापि स्मरेन्मन्त्रं कुशवारि विवर्जीतं ,-हारीत स्मृति
even during death or birth in family when all observe ashoucham,brahmin should also do sandhya,but without kusha and water..only mental japa of mantras are done-Harita Smriti.
In other parts of India many smritis like apasthamba,baodhayana,hiranyakeshi,rishyashringa,Dalabhya,Vasishta etc are followed so I request to post such quotes from respected community members to post those quotes,

यः सन्ध्याम् चैव नोपास्ते अग्निकार्यं यथाविधि ।
गायत्र्यष्टसहस्रं तु जपेत्स्नात्वा समाहितः ॥-संवर्त स्मृति
---
-जो सन्ध्या और अग्निकार्य नहि करते व कभी छुट जाता है तब् स्नान आदि करके संकल्प के साथ् आठ हजार गायत्री जप करना चाहिये.
Those who dont do sandhya and Agnikaarya(samidhadaana/agnihotra etc) or miss it should bath and do 8 thousand gaayatri japa ,then they are eligible for sandhya-Samvarta smriti.
