Om Sri Gurubhyo Namaha (I bow to guru) Om Sri Ganeshaya Namaha (I bow to Ganesha) Om Sri Kula Devatabhyo Namaha (I bow to the family deity) Om Sri Ishta Devatabhyo Namaha (I bow to my personal deity) Om Sri Mata Pitribhyam Namaha (I bow to my parents) Sip water after each mantra: Om Sri Keshavaya Swaha Om Sri Narayana Swaha Om Sri Madhavaya Swaha Pour one spoon of water on ground: Om Sri Govindaya Namaha Repeat: Om Pranavasya Parabrahma Rishihi Paramatma Devata Daivi Gayatri Chandaha Pranayamae Viniyogaha Do three short rounds of pranayama breaths.

Place beads on plate and read aloud (Purusha Suktam, Rig Veda, Sukta 90) The Rishi is Narayana, Devata Purusha, Chhandas Anushtub, Last Verse Trishtub Purusha who has a thousand heads, a thousand eyes, a thousand feet, invests the Earth in all directions, and exceeds it by the space of ten fingers Purusha is all this visible world, all that is, and all that will be. Purusha also is the Immortal Lord for It mounts beyond Its own condition as the very food of Life. Purusha is even greater yet as all beings are just one fourth of It, and still even the other three fourths abide in heaven. Three fourths ascended to heaven, the other fourth that remains in the world proceeds repeatedly diversifying in various forms and is all animate and inanimate creation. >From It was born Viraj, and from Viraj, Purusha; as soon as It was born It manifested,and then created the world and everything else. When the Gods performed the sacrifice Purusha was the offering, spring was the ghee, summer the fuel, autumn the oblation. The Gods immolated Uncreated Purusha upon the sacred grass. With Purusha the Sadhyas and Rishis sacrificed. >From That Offering in whom the universe was also offered, the curds and butter were produced; from them were made the animals over whom Vayu presides, both the wild and the tame. >From That Offering in whom the universe was also offered, the Richas and Samans were produced; from them the meters were born; from It the Yajush was born. >From It was born horses and all animals with two rows of teeth; yea, cows were born from It, and goats and sheep. When They immolated Purusha, into how many portions did they divide It? What was Its mouth called, what Its arms, Its thighs, Its feet? Its mouth became the priest, Its arms became the warrior, Its thighs became the boss, Its feet became the workers. Chandra was born from Its mind, Surya from Its eye, Indra and Agni from Its mouth, Vayu from Its breath. >From Its navel came the sky, from Its head was produced the heavens, from Its feet came the Earth, the four directions from Its ear. They made up the World. Seven were the containers of the sacrifice, twenty one logs of fuel were used, when the Gods celebrating the yajna bound Purusha as the victim. By sacrifice the Gods worshipped It who is also the sacrifice. Those were the first duties. Those Great Ones became partakers of the heaven where the ancient Sadhyas abide. Take a few minutes for silence or to meditate or pray. Then chant: Om Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Pujam Samarpayami Chant these next mantras and give the offerings or give rice to the plate in front of Rudrakshas: (Offering ____ to the lotus feet of Shiva Maha Devaya, I bow) (Invocation) Avahanam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Seat) Asanam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Cloth) Vastram Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Sandalwood or scent) Chandanam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Rice) Akshatan Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Flower) Pushpam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Incense) Dhupam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Candle or ghee lamp - one wick) Deepam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Water drink) Achamaniyam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Fruit) Naivedyam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Water Drink) Achamaniyam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Betel nut - Paan) Tambulam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha (Coconut) Shri Phalam Samarpayami Sri Shiva Maha Devaya Charana Kamalebhyo Namaha Burn Camphor and circle it clockwise 3x in front of plate and chant: Karpura Shivam Karuna Vataram Samsara Saram Bhujagendraharam Sada Vasantam Hridaya Ravinde Bhavam Bhavani Sahitam Namami (White as camphor and kindness incarnate, the very form of Brahman consciousness, you Shiva ever dwell in my heart. I bow to you.) Bow or supplicate, then chant this last prayer for peace on Earth: Pritivim Shantir Antariksham Shantir Dyau Shantir Apaha, Shantir Oshadayaha, Shantihi Vanaspatayaha, Shantir Vishve Me Devaha, Shantihi Sarva Me Devaha, Shantir Brahma, Shantirapaha, Shanti Sarvam, Shantiredhi, Santihi, Shantihi, Sarva Shanti, Sa Ma Shanti, Shantibhihi (Let the Earth be at peace, let the atmosphere be at peace, the Heavens be filled with peace.
