MY PANCAYATANA PUJA

[Note: What is given below is an outline of how I do my Pancayatana-pUjA. I have been doing it for the past fifty years & more of course now and then there have been breaks, short and long. I have not referred to any old manuscripts or any formal book; but what is written is what I got from my father sixty years ago, with, of course, some compromises I had to introduce due to my inability, over the years, to follow all rules. I do have a mss. of my father to which I do refer now and then] For many Sanskrit and Sanskrit-cum-Tamil words I am not giving the English meaning, because I presume those interested in this PUjA would be familiar with such words.

Key to Transliteration of Sanskrit words


Kyoto-Harvard Convention (Modified) Consonants: Vowels: a as the 'u' in but gutturals A or Aa or aa as the 'a' in father i as the 'i' in mill palatals I as the 'ea' in meal u as the 'u' in put linguals U as the 'u' in rule e as the 'ey' in they dentals ai as the 'ai' in aisle o as the 'o' in go labials au as the 'ou' in loud R as the 'r' in Sanskrit semivowels k c T t p y kh ch Th th ph r g j D d b l gh jh Dh dh bh v n m jna N G

Sibilants As in Beginning of word Middle of word Palatal 's' as in the Sh (or) sh S German word 'sprechen' Shutter, shame Shh (or) shh Sh (or) sh Sun, sand S (or) s S Sanskrit Examples ISvara, darSana, paSyati, ViSvaM Shankara, shAnti, Shiva, ShaSi (*) Vishnu, Purusha, dvesha. ShhaNmukha, samsAra, SamsAra, Satva, satva, VasanA

Note on (*): In the word 'ShaSi', the same palatal 's' is transliterated differently in the beginning (as 'Sh') and in the middle of the word (as 'S'). Another word where this situation occurs is, for example, 'shuSrUshA' where the first 'sh' and the middle 'S' represent the same palatal 's'. anusvAra ---- M visarga ---H aspiration ----h

PujA articles needed: 1. Panca-pAtram + UdraNi 2. Akshatai just a teaspoon. 3. Kumkumam 4. Sandal-paste (a tea-spoon of this to be made for each pUjA day) 5. An Asana for sitting. (One is supposed to sit facing East or North) 6. A seat (Peetham) for keeping the deities and other accessories. If there is a picture included in your pUjA, the picture will face South or East according respectively to the way you face, as described in No.5. 7. A PujA Bell, which usually has a nandi at its top. 8. A plate (called snAna-vedhi) for keeping the deities for the purposes of Abhishekam. It may have a hole in the centre so that the Abhishekawater may collect in a vessel below; or it may have a channel-like outlet by which the abhisheka-water may flow into another vessel. Another plate or cup (to be calledarghya-pAdya-AcamanIya pAtram -- to be shortened as apA-pAtraM , hereafter in this document). 9. Flowers for the PujA. 10. VibhUti 11. Three or four small plates, five small cups (each of which to be able to hold at least two tablespoons of water). These five are for the so-called five kalaSas,ISAna, etc. These are to be arranged on a plate, one in the centre, one each in the four directions of the centre. 12. Shankham, with some kind of stand for it, so that it may hold water and sit flat 13. Camphor (to be used for the karpUra-nIrAnjanaM) 14. Agarbati (to be used as a continuous light emitting fragrance throughout the pUjA as well as for the dhUpAM part of the sixteenpart pUjA) 15. Cotton for deepam ( both for #16 below and for the deepaM part of the sixteen-part pUjA). 16. Kuttu-vilakku or its equivalent

17. A vessel for holding about six glasses of water; and most important of all, 18. The PujA deities to be separately described, along with two or three small kerchief-like towels to be used for drying the deities after the abhisheka, these towels not to be used for any other purpose.

Note: Metals used in the above articles should, as far as possible, avoid steel or iron. My own compromise is: except for #17 above, all are either silver or brass or bronze. Preferable Vedic Knowledge: To be able to recite Rudram, Camakam, PurushasUktam. This much is a minimum. If Recitation can be done without the book, it will be wonderful; for, both the hands and all your attention would be needed for the pUjA. To hold a book in one of the hands would be most inconvenient. Anything else that you can recite would be valuable. Daily Prerequisite: Morning Sandhyavandanam should have been done. Do an AcamanaM and then start: ShuklAmbaradharaM vishNum shaSi varNaM caturbhujaM / Prasanna-vadanaM dhyAyet sarva-vighnopaSAntaye // Guru brahmA gururvishNuH gurur-devo maheSvaraH/ Gurus-sAkshAt paraM prahma tasmai shrI gurave namaH // prANAyAmaM.

[At this point, for the past few months, I have been adding the following : asmin janmani janmAnte bhagavat-smaraNena saha anAyAsa-maraNa-prAptyarthaM, janmAntare'pi manushya-janma-prApti-dvArA parmAtmani atyanta-bhaktisiddhyarthaM, ekAnta-bhakti siddhyarthaM advaita-bhakti-siddhyarthaM] sAmba-parameSvare para-brahmaNi acancalA-bhakti-siddhyarthaM yAvac-chakti deva-pUjAM karishye. Adau deva-pUjAngaM shakti-pancAkshara mahAmantrajapaM karishye. tat-pUrvaM mahA-gaNapati-mahA-mantra-japaM karishye. [These two japas are now done. Obviously, the assumption is that you have been initiated into these japas formally by some one whom you consider to be your guru for that purpose. I have been initiated into the shakti-pancAksharI by my father and into the mahA-gaNapati mantra by another Guru-ji] [One is supposed to do 108 times japa of each of the mantras. This is the ideal situation. Compromises are 54 or 32. Ten time japa is only an apology. But some of the days I confess it turns out to be only an apology!]
KalaSa-pUjA:

Shankha-pUjA:

[Now decorate the shankham with sandal and kumkum & flowers; fill it up with water from the panca-pAtram ] [Hold the shankham in your left palm and cover it up with the right palm] Shankha-mUle sthito brahmA shankha-madhye saraswatI / shankhAgre sarvatIrthAni tasmAc-chankhaM prapUjayet // tvaM purA sagarotpanno vishNunA vidhRtaH kare / pUjitas-sarva-devAnAM pAncajanya-namo'stu te // pAncajanyAya vidmahe pAvamAnAya dhImahi / tannaH shankhaH pracodayAt // [Say the GAyatrI and the pancAkshara-mantram three times ] [Sprinkle the shankha-water three times into the panca-pAtram as well as all the accessories kept for the pUjA. Also sprinkle it three times on yourself. Any remaining water in the shankham to be poured into the panca-pAtraM. Now the panca-pAtram water has been purified. So pour a little from it into the stored water-vessel No.17, so that all the water that will be used for the pUjA would have been purified. In the course of the rest of the pUjA, as and when the water in the panca-pAtram gets emptied, fill it up from No.17 hereafter]. [Fill up the shankham again with water from the panca-pAtram, decorate with flowers and show the mudrAs of shankha, cakra-gadA-padma and dhenu]
pUjA of the five kalaSas 'ISAna' etc.:

Sandal, flowers, and akshata (mixed with sandalpaste and kumkum), all to be used as offering to each of the kalaSa with the following mantras: naM hrAM ISAnAya Urdha-vaktrAya namaH -- for the central kalaSa, (to be called hereafter 'ISAna-kalaSa'). maM hrIM tatpurushAya pUrva-vaktrAya namaH -- for the kalaSa on the east, (to be called hereafter 'tatpurusha-kalaSa'). shiM hrUM aghorAya dakshiNa-vaktrAya namah -- for the kalaSa on the south (to be called hereafter 'aghora-kalaSa') vAM hraiM vAmadevAya uttara-vaktrAya namaH for the kalaSa on the north (to be called hereafter 'vAmadeva kalaSa')

yaM hrauM sadyojAtAya paScima-vaktrAya namaH for the kalaSa on the west (to be called hereafter 'sadyojAta-kalaSa')

[Now fill them with water from the panca-pAtraM, in the following order, with the following mantras. If you do not know how to recite them with the proper svaras, learn it from any vedic pundit] [Filling up of the ISAna-kalaSa] ISAnas-sarva-vidyAnAM Isvaras-sarvabhUtAnAM brahmAdhipatiH brahmaNo'dhipatir brahmA shivo me astu sadAshivoM // [Filling up of the tatpurusha-kalaSa] tatpurushAya vidmahe mahAdevAya dhImahi / tanno rudraH pracodayAt // [Filling up of the aghora-kalaSa] aghorebhyo'tha gorebhyo ghoraghoratarebhyaH sarvebhyaH sarva-SarvebhyO namaste astu rudra-rUpebhyaH // [Filling up of the vAmadeva-kalaSa] vAmadevAya namo jyeshTAya namaH shreshTAya namo rudrAya namaH kAlAya namaH kalavikaraNAya namo balavikaraNAya namo balAya namo bala-pramathanAya namas-sarva-bhUtadamanAya namo manonmayAya namaH // [Filling up of the sadyojAta-kalaSa] sadyojAtaM prapadyAmi sadyojAtAya vai namo namaH /bhave bhave nAtibhave bhavasva mAM / bhavodbhavAya namaH // [Now decorate the arghya-pAdya-AcamanIya-pAtram with flowers, sandal and akshatA.

[Ring or Sound the bell with the following shloka:] AgamArtham-tu devAnAM gamanArtham to rakshasAm /kurve ghaNTAravaM tatra devatAhvana-lAncanaM // Now you are going to open the deities-box. Before opening it learn what is supposed to be in it. There are five deities. The deities or divinities are not in their

human-like forms but in certain symbols in the form of stones, which are nothing but certain rock-formations available in specified locations in the country. Surya, the Sun-God is inherent in certain crystals normally found in Vallam in Tamilnadu. Shakti is represented by the svarnamukhi stone found in the bed of the river of that name in the Andhra region. Vishnu is the sAlagrAma stone that can be had in plenty in the bed of the river GhanTaki in the Himalayas. GaneSa is the red Sonabhadra stone found in the bed of the river Sone flowing into the Ganga. Finally Shiva is the BANa-linga which is found in the Omkarakunda of the river Narmada, near the island of Mandhata. It is by the worship of these formless deities that the devotee trains himself to take the mind from the forms to the formless while at the same time allowing full scope for his devotional feelings. [When you open the box, say the following]: vedAnta-vedyAkhila-viSva-mUrte vibho virUpAksha-vikAra-rUpa / viSveSa viSvAdhika-viSva-mUrte kavATam-udghATaya kAla-kAla // [The deities are to be placed on the snAna-vedhi in a particular arrangment.The rule is: AgneyyAM sUryaM niRRtyAM gaNapatiM vAyavyAm-ambikAM aiSAnyAM ca vishNum sthApayet. That is, Surya in the south-east, gaNapati in the southwest, ambikA in the northwest, and vishNu in the northeast, with Shivain the centre]. atha-AtmANaM ShivAtmAnaM rudra-rUpiNaM dhyAyet - meaning, 'then one should meditate on one's own Self as Shiva Himself' thus: [Note here the distinguishing characteristic of the philosophy of advaita taking over.] shuddha-sphaTika-sankASaM triNetraM panca-vaktrakaM / gangAdharaM daSa-bhujaM sarvAbharaNa-bhUshitaM // nIlagrIvaM shaSAnkAnkaM nAga-yajnopavItinaM / nAgAbharaNa-shobhADhyaM vyAghra-carmottariyakaM // kamaNDvalvaksha-sUtrAdi dhAriNaM ShUlapANinaM / jvalantaM pingala-jaTAS-ShikhAmadhyoda-dhAriNaM // vRshas-skanda samArUDhaM umA-dehArdha-dhAriNaM / amRtenAplutaM hRshTaM divya-bhoga-samanvitaM / digdevatA-samAyuktaM surAsura-namaskRtaM // nityaM ca SASvataM shuddhaM dhruvam-aksharam-avyayaM // sarva-vyApinam-ISAnaM rudraM vai viSva-rUpiNaM / Rule: [evaM rUpiNaM eva dhyAtva dvijaH samyak tato yajanaM Arabhet : meaning, 'thus should the twice-born meditate on the Form and begin his pUjA'. athAto rudra-snAnArcanA-bhishekaM vidhim vyAkhyAsyAmaH : meaning, now let us describe the process of Abhisheka and Arcana of Lord Rudra]
Note: In what all that follows, 'akshata' means akshata (rice, whole, not broken)

mixed with sandalpaste and kumkum or turmeric powder.

Atma-pUjA : [Sprinkling the akshata on oneself]: Atmane namaH /paramAtmane namaH /

jnAnAtmane namaH / sat-cid-Ananda-mUrtaye namaH / deho devAlayaH prokto jIvo devas-sadAshivaH / tyajed-ajnAna-nirmAlyaM so'hambhAvena pUjayet // Meaning: This body is said to the temple of the Gods. The Soul within is Lord shiva Himself. Leave off the garbage of Ignorance and do the PujA with the attitude of 'He I am'. As you place the deities on the snAna-vedhi, recite the following five shlokas on Atma-linga--pUjA, by Shankaracharya: ArAdhayAmi maNisannibham Atmalingam shambho tavArAdhanaM // snAna-vedhi pUjA: [Akshata to be sprinkled on the East of the vedhi]: pUrvadvAre dvArashriyai namaH / dhAtre namaH, vidhAtre namaH // [on the south of the vedhi]: dakshiNa dvAre dvArashriyai namaH / jayAya namaH, v ijayAya namaH // [on the west of the vedhi]: paScimadvAre dvarashriyai namaH muNDAya namaH, camuNDAya namaH // [on the north of the vedhi]: uttaradvAre dvArashriyai namaH / shankanidhaye namaH, padma nidhaye namah // indrAya namaH, surAdhipataye namaH / --- on the East side agnaye namaH, tejodhipataye namaH / --- on the south-east yamAya namaH, bhUtAdhipataye namaH / --- on the south niRRtaye namaH, rakshodhipataye namaH / --- on the southwest varuNAya namaH, jalAdhipataye namaH / --- on the west vAyave namaH, prANAdhipataye namaH / --- on the northwest kuberAya namaH, yakshAdhipataye namaH / --- on the north ISAnAya namaH, vidyAdhipataye namaH / --- on the northeast [at the centre]: anantAya namaH, nAgadhipataye namaH brahmaNe namaH, lokAdhipataye namaH vishNave namaH, sarvAdhipataye namaH AdhAra-shaktyai namaH, mUla-prakRtyai namaH saM satvAya namaH, raM rajase namaH, tam tamase namaH maM mAyAyai namaH, viM vidyAyai namaH / madhye suvarNa-maNTapAya namaH //

Now starts the sixteen-part formal pUjA : [The svaras for the vedic mantras used

have to be learnt orally from a Pundit. Without the proper svaras, the pUjAloses all its sanctity]
dhyAnaM & AvAhanaM:

Om Asatyena rajasA vartamAno niveSayan amRtam martyamca / hiraNyayena savitArathena devo yAti bhuvanA-vipaSyan // Om CchAya-samjnA sameta shrI Surya-nArAyaNaswAminam dhyAyAmi, avAhayAmi // [Sprinkle the akshata on the Surya deity].

[This is one of the most important mandatory part. Here one spends as much time as one likes. The optimum standard practice is to recite Rudram, Camakam, PurushasUktaM, and Shri-sUktaM during the abhisheka of the deities. One does not pour water or any liquid just like that. One uses a cup with a hole at the bottom so that water, milk, honey, curd, coconutwater or any such liquid pours down the orifice in a continuous straight thin stream. One does this as you recite the various mantras like Rudram, etc. After this recitation is over, one pours the ISAnAdi pancakalaSa water one after the other, but in the reverse order. That is the order now would be 1.from the sadyojAta-kalaSa, . 2. from the vAmadeva-kalaSa 3. from the aghorakalaSa 4. from the tatpurusha-kalaSa and 5. from the ISAna-kalaSa , each with the corresponding mantras associated with that kalaSa.. At the end of this one pours the Sankha water on the deities, and at this point one repeats the mantra: yat-purusheNa havishA / devA yajnam-atanvata // vasanto asyAsIdajyaM / grIshma idhmaS-SaraddhaviH // Aditya-varNe tapaso'dhijAto vanaspatis-tava vRksho'tha bilvaH / tasya phalAni tapasA nudantu mAyAntarAyASca bAhyA alakshmIH // Om sAngAya sa-parivArAya sAmbaparameSvarAya namaH / AvAhitAbhyas-sarvAbhyo devatAbhyo namaH / snAnaM samarpayAmi // snAnAnantaraM AcamanIyaM samarpayAmi // [Pour one udraNi of water in the apA-pAtraM]. [At the end of this snAna ritual, the pancayatana deities are dried with the towels kept for the purpose. They are then placed in the pUjA box, in the same geometrical locations that were prescribed for the snAna-vedhi. During this physical work of putting everything back in place, drying up the deities, etc. one can recite the stotras that one knows on any of the deities. I for one, invariably recite the Shiva-pancAkshara-stotra beginning with 'nAgendra-hArAya'.] VastraM: saptAsyAsan paridhayaH / tris-sapta-samidhaH kRtAH / devA yad-yajnaM tanvAnAH / abadhnan purushaM paSuM // upaitu mAM devasakhaH kIrtiSca maNinA saha /prAdurbhUtosmi rAshTre'smin kIrtimRiddhiM dadAtu me // Om sAngAya sa-parivArAya sAmba-parameSvarAya namaH / AvAhitAbhyassarvAbhyo devatAbhyo namaH / vastraM samarpayAmi // [If there is no vastraM to be used for the pUjA, say 'vastrArthaM akshatAn samarpayAmi' and sprinkle akshatAs on the deity] AbharaNaM:

Now we take one or two or a handful of flowers already offered to Lord Shiva in the PUjA box, and offer them to Nandi by putting them on the back of the Nandi in the form of a bull -- while we recite "ISAnas-sarvavidyAnAM ISvaras-sarvabhUtAnAM brahmAdhipatir brahmaNodhipatir brahmA shivo me astu sadAshivOM --hara OM, hara Om hara'.

-If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God
