RE: Durga Puja Advanced: Jay Dayal

[Guest guest]

Dear Parvati

 

Jai Mata ji

 

Do we bathe the kalash with Panchamrit?

 

So therefore, the puja process requires repetition of the same (kalash

puja) with an idol Devi (Puja Naiveda). For my Pujas I had been making

all the offering to Maas Murti only but never did Kalash Puja. Maybe its

time I should extend to Kalash sthapna.

 

Jay Dayal.

Namaste Jay Dayal,

Jai Durga!

The establishment of the pot is called the kalasa sthaapana. The

establishment of the pot begins with "touch the earth" and ends with

the hymn of the establishment of life(praana pratisthaa suktaa).

We use a coconut for the fruit. The following offerings go on the

coconut so that by the end of the puja your coconut looks like the

Goddess. These are the offerings that go on the coconut:

red powder,(sinhu)

kum kum (also red powder)

sandle paste or powder

tumeric powder(haldi or yellow powder)

scent bath(perfume your choice)

water bath (little ganges water, can sprinkle water from your puja)

cloth(on top of coconut and hangs down the sides)

sacred thread( nine threads)

rudraksha bead

maala(rudraksha or other)

rice(sprinkle a few grains of raw rice on top and around)

flower garland

flower

 

You will also make charanamrit(5 nectar bath)

1. milk. 2. yogurt. 3. ghee. 4. honey 5. sugar

This will be mixed together into a small bowl.The bowl should be new

or only used for puja. Add a drop of rose water for (scented oil).

 

You can follow the directions in the book for the rest of the puja.

See "lelihaana mudra" picture and recite the mantras.

 

Hope this helps a little. If you have more questions please ask.

Parvati
