Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Dear Venkatesh, > What are all the five offerings to Lord Shiva to appease pancha tatwas? There are so many answers to this question based on what you are trying to accomplish. Based on your questions, I am guessing that, like most of us, you also don't have much exposure to the karma kanda. Performing rudrabhisheka will confer great benefits, but you will need to learn the procedure from a qualified teacher. Until you are able to do so, you can perform a simple panchopachara puja to Lord Shiva: 1) shivaaya namah. gandham samarpayaami. - pritivi tattwa. offer sandalwood paste. 2) shivaaya namah. pushpaih puujayaami. - akasha tattwa. offer flowers. 3) shivaaya namah. dhuupam aaghraapayaami. - vayu tattwa. offer incense. 4) shivaaya namah. diipam darshayaami. - agni tattwa. offer a lamp (aarti). 5) shivaaya namah. naivedyam nivedayaami. - jala tattwa. offer some naivedyam like rice. As a part of (just before) step 2, where you are offering flowers, pray to the five faces of shiva, which once again represents the 5 tattwas: 1) tatpurushaaya namah. ( puurva-mukhaaya namah ). - prithivi tattwa 2) aghoraaya namah. ( dakshiNa-mukhaaya namah ). - agni tattwa 3) sadyojaataya namah. ( pashcima-mukhaaya namah ). - prithivi tattwa 4) vaamadevaaya namah. ( uttara-mukhaaya namah ). - jala tattwa 5) iishaanaaya namah. ( uurdhva-mukhaaya namah. ) - akasha tattwa This should be simple to do. As you learn more, you can easily make it more elaborate, by adding abhisheka, or pancha kalasha puja, or japa etc. These will have to be learnt from a qualified teacher. ajit On 12/1/05, Venkatesh S <ksvssvk wrote: |JAI SRIRAM|Dear Sarbani,1.How much amount(quantity) of these five offerings is to used for abshiek of Shiva linga during Rudrabhishka?2.How many times Mrityunjaya mantra should be rectified during Rudrabhishka?

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Shri Brahmadaru Smarami Dear Venkatesh, The five offerings that I wrote about correspond with the second set of mantras in correspondence with the five heads of Shiva given by Ajit below. The first set for the pancha tatvas is not exclusive to Shiva but applies to all the deities.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 ||Hare Rama Krsna|| Dear Sarbani and Ajit, Namaskar Ajits list of the pancha mukha has a reoccurence of Prithvi tattva. Please correct this for us. Maybe this could be a nice addition to the Jyotish Digest? Could you please specify the five offerings for the five heads of shiva? Which head gets milk for example?

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 ... hamsasso.aham .. Dear Visti and Sarbani, See http://www.mudgala.com/articles/panchayatana.html Thanks for catching the typo. Tatpurusha corresponds to vayu tattwa. I have never seen the pancha-mukhas worshipped with specific dravyas, and am not aware of the mapping. I am hoping that Sarbani can clarify. As far as I know, the pancha-mukha worship occurs in two places: in the ravanokta mahanyasa as a mental puja, and in the pancha-kalasha shiva puja where water is offered. Of course, my knowledge is quite limited. ajit sohamsa [sohamsa ] On Behalf Of Visti Larsen Friday, December 02, 2005 12:04 AM sohamsa RE: Five offerings ||Hare Rama Krsna|| Dear Sarbani and Ajit, Namaskar Ajits list of the pancha mukha has a reoccurence of Prithvi tattva.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Shri Brahmadaru Smarami Dear Ajit and Visti, Actually I was taught this pancha mukha puja with specific dravyas by the sannyasins of Sri Sarada Math (Ramakrishna order) for worship during Shiva Ratri. We did not use this method during the normal parthiva Shiva linga puja. Four dravyas were used in the four pujas during the four praharas of the night. In between each dravya Shiva is bathed with water with the mantra Om Namo Pashupataye Namah. Now as there are only four praharas in the night, the fifth one is missing: Tatpurusha. Ajit, any light on this? Milk: Om Haum Ishanaya Namah Curd: Om Haum Aghoraya Namah Ghee: Om Haum Vamadevaya Namah Honey: Om Haum Sadyojataya Namah Best Regards, Sarbani Ajit Krishnan [ajit.krishnan] Friday, December 02, 2005 2:18 PMsohamsa Subject: RE: Five offerings ... hamsasso.aham ..
