The results of this research show that Hinduism teaches the practice of Tri Sandhya because it has two main basics that are needed by the physical and spiritual in order to navigate the ark of life with full benefit. The analysis that the author can take is that in the practice of Tri Sandhya, basically in Hinduism to achieve happiness and gratitude to God by doing this prayer. Even though the path or method used is different in the practice of worship from other religions. However, showing gratitude to God remains the same and the author's analysis states that belief in religion is human nature, and each religion believes in the truth of its own religion. This Tri Sandhya can be a driving force for us towards salvation of the soul and shows a servant’s obedience to the Creator. Chanting or japa, in Tamil and Indonesian Hindu traditions is the practice of repeating mantras to achieve concentration and spirituality.
