Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Kali Puja Class- Day 9 Dear All, Today we will focus on pages 81-91 in the Kali puja book by Swami Satyananda Puja Naivedya (offerings of worship) Page 81 Invitation We fold our hands in prayer and recite the invitation mantra. We invite the Divine Mother to our hearts and to remain still until our vow of worship is complete. Seat We place the tips of our fingers together, palms facing up, thumbs out, and make a seat for our Divine Mother to sit on mid section, near our heart. Page 82 Foot bath Sprinkle a few drops of water at the feet of your coconut or at the feet of your Kali murti. Water for washing hands and mouth Sprinkle some water on top of coconut or near, on or over Kali murti. Arghya-corsage or bouquet We make an arghya by taking a flower on a stem like a rose, (not too long of a stem) lay the stem in a red cloth. Add a little black sesame seed, uncooked rice grains, dried or fresh basil leaf, chandan powder, perfume. Wrap these ingredients up in the red cloth with the stem. The rose will be sticking out of the cloth. Tie the cloth with a string. If you can't make an arghya then substitute for a regular flower. Madhuparka-yogurt drink In a small bowl you will add a little yogurt, honey and ghee and recite the mantra. All of the ingredients are offered together. Page 83-84 Water bath Sprinkle water over your coconut and or over, around, or near your Kali murti. Bracelets Offer bracelets (your choice), your Goddess Page 84-85 Conch ornaments offer any kind of conch shell ornament like a ring, or bracelet Page 85 Ornaments offer any kind of jewelry- your choice, your Goddess Page 85-86 Rice offer a few grains of uncooked rice We pray for a spotlessly pure mind. page 86-87 Food offering Offer any cooked food you have made for Kali here, fruits and sweets. We will be making the following items here for Kali: kitchuri, 14 kinds of green leafy vegetables, fried eggplant, daikon salad, rice pudding, pitta(see Shree Maa cookbook), chutney(see Shree maa cookbook) Of course we will also be offering pomegrantes. We are so lucky that pomegranate season comes around the time of Kali puja. Sprinkle water over all of the food offerings and some flowers or petals. Page 87 Drinking water Offer some water to Kali. Use a clean cup, or a bottle of water. Page 87-88 Betel-nuts We get these from an Indian store. They are kind of like an after dinner mint for the Goddess. Page 88 Dakshina You will offer some money at the end of your puja. Every puja ends with the offering of dakshina. Swamiji said that a puja is not complete without this offering. Part of the mantra says: anantapunyaphaladamatah which means: Give infinite merits as fruits..... Page 89-91-Arati Now we offer the following articles: umbrella, fly whisk, fan, mirror, camphor, flower(give to Kali) Thus ends Day 9 of the Kali puja Class Remember that Kali's big day is coming up very soon on Friday, October 20. Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask. There are many other ways to worship Kali. You can just recite the Kali puja book without any physical offerings. Or recite part of the book. Recite the 1000 names or the 100 names, or the Kali kavacham, or the Adya Stotram or listen to Shree Maa sing the 1000 names of Kali. It is very beautiful. Om Kring Kalyai Namah!
