Shiva panchayatana puja. Questions ?

[Guest guest]

There are a few books

1. RS vadhyar - Nityanikam - in sanskrit

(lipi-devanagari)

 

2. Sringeri - Siva Puja Vidhi?(I forget the name it is

a slim book the back cover has a picture of the

Acharya) in sanskrit (lipi-devanagari)

 

3. Chowkamba - Nitya puja Vidhi - has a more detailed

set of rules in sanskrit with explanations in hindi

(lipi-devanagari)

 

All three have pata bedhas, and minor/major

differences, including dhyanam, order of sequences

etc...
