Ahimsa/Sathyam/Non stealing/ Soucham /Indriya Nigraham / are ordinary Dharma.
Sandhya Vandanam- Japam- Homam-Devatha Poojanam-Aadithyam-Vaiswadevam are Aagama Dharma
Generally Karmas are differentiated as under:
1.NITHYA-2. NAIMITHIKAM 3. KAMYAM- 4.PRADHI SHIDHAM ( NISHIDHAM)
By doing Nithya karma no special result would accrue. But by not doing the same papa accrues Naimithikam karma is to be performed in extra ordinary circumstances like eclipse time etc. Kamya karma is to be performed desiring to get wanted things. Pradhi shidham Karma is Nishidha karma i.e which should not be carried out .
Periodicity is prescribed for doing some of the samskarams.
For Example items No.21 to be performed every pradhama day,i.e once in 15 days.
Item No 22 to 26 and 29 to 33 are to be performed once in a year.
All Soma Yagnas i.e. 34 to 40 are to be performed once in a year or once in a life time. When one cannot carryout any of the Soma Yagnas- by providing financial help and by participating with others those who perform those Yagnas, one can complete those samskaras as ordained in scriptures.
