Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi, Radhakrishnan, Your mail was quite instructive. However, I would like clarifications on the following: 1. Is the Panchopara Pooja same as mentioned by one of the group members in earlier posting? 2. Has the Nyasa to be performed again after Moola Mantra Japam? 3. What is the mantra for Digvimoga, Dhyana and Panchopchara Samaprpana Achamanam? Incidentally, " Digvimoga " is a new word I have learnt. If you can explain what it means and its significance, it will be be really educative to me. Ram Prabhu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Answer to first question: Panchopachaara puja also known as maanasapuja is as follows: Lam (rhymes with 'come') Prthivyaatmane (prthivyaatmikaayai) gandham samarpayami (draw the tip of the thumb from the root of little finger upwards-to be done with both hands) Ham (rhymes with 'come') Aakaashatmane pushpaih pujayami (draw the tip of the index finger over the thumb from its root upwards) Yam (rhymes with 'come') Vaayvaatmane dhoopam aaghraapayaami (draw the tip of the thumb over the index finger from its root upwards) Ram (to be pronounced as 'rum') Agnyaatmane deepam darshayaami (draw the tip of the thumb over the middle finger from its root upwards) Vam (rhymes with 'come') Amrtaatmane amrtam mahaanaivedyam nivedayaami (draw the tip of the thumb over the ring finger from its root upwards) Sam (rhymes with 'come' - to be pronounced like 'sum') Sarvaatmane sarvopachaaraan samarpayaami (make anjali mudra with both the hands joined together palms and fingers touching one another in the normal namaskaar sign) Second question: Yes, Kara-anganyaasa-dfhyaanam to be performed at the end of moola-mantra-japam. Third question: Panchopachaara is already dealt with. Dhyaana-shlokam corresponding to the adhidevatra will differ according to the japam. Digvimogam is the opposite of digbandham. Mantram is the same - Bhurbhuvassuvarom. Say 'iti digvimogah' while doing digvimogam. Digbandham is done in this manner:- Crackling with the middle finger and thumb of the right hand in front of your face, to your right at shoulder level, at the back (near the back of the neck) and to your left at shoulder level circling the hand around the body clockwise - no short-cuts. Digvimogam is done anticlockwise starting in the front and going through the left side. Samarpanam is dedicationg the japam to the Devataa. Shlokam for this is given below. Guhya-atiguhya-goptaa (goptree for female deities) tvam grhaana-asmat-krtam japam; Siddhir-bhavatu me deva (devi) tat-prasaadan-mayi sthiraa. Aachamanam - sipping of water from one's right palm. For most of the Devataas, it is done three times, saynig Achutaaya Namah (sip water), Anantaaya Namah (sip water), Govindaaya Namah (sip water). In Shaakta-kramam, aachamanam is done 4 times - Aim-Aatmatatvam Shodayaami Swaahaa Kleem-Vidyaatatvam Shodayaami Swaahaa Sauh-Shivatatvam Shodayaami Swaahaa Aim-Kleem-Sauh-Sarvatatvam Shodayaami Swaahaa Aachamanam, mudras for anga-nyaasa-kara-nyaasa-maanasa-puja-digbandham-digvimohgam are all difficult to acquire by reading written instructions though they are all very very simple procedures. Further, there could be minor variations according to one's one sampradaayam. Mind you, all sampradaayams lead to the same Devi, no one sampradaayam is greater than or superior to the other. We while following our own sampradaayam look upon other procedures with respect and awe and some times imagine that the other is more imaginative and more effective. While doing our saadhana with a member of another sampradaayam, we sometimes try our hand at adopting theirs. Ooooofffff........ I think I have answered your queries.
