Every Sadhak tries his best to accomplish daily worship and use special Mantra rituals


Every Sadhak tries his best to accomplish daily worship and use special Mantra rituals. But every Sadhana has a particular procedure and every deity or the Guru is worshipped in a particular manner. Presenting some important rules is this wonderfully enlightening article.

In every Sadhana, Upchaar or special worship of deity has an important place. Upchaar eans devotedly making some offerings to deity in order to win his or her grace.

There is no fixed rule for Upchaar but including this worship procedure in Sadhana assures quicker success. There are different types of Upchaars ranging from Ekopchaar to Sahastropachar. Our article shall focus only on Shodashopchaar, Dashopchaar and Panchopchaar forms of worship in which 16,10 and 5 articles are offered respectively. In each age, forms of worship have been different but in the present age of hustle and bustle performing a Sadhana itself is a great fortunate achievement and the shorter the procedure the better.

It is best to do Shodashopchaar worship in which 16 articles are offered but in daily Sadhana Panchopchaar worship would suffice and in it five articles namely fragrance, flowers, incense, ghee lamp and sweets are offered.

Shodashopchaar
This includes 1. Aavaahan 2. Aasan 3. Paadya 4. Arghya 5. Aachamaniya 6. Snaan 7. Vastra 8. Madhupark 9. Tilak 10. Akshat 11. Pushp 12. Dhoop 13. Deep 14. Neivedya 15. Taambool 16. Naariyal

Aavaahan
Many do not count this in the procedure and instead just offer prayers to the deity. It means inviting the deity concerned to come and bless Sadhak. For this hands are joined and the following Mantra is chanted.
Aavaahayaami Devesh Sarvashakti Shakti Samanvite, Naaraaynnaay Bhadraay Gururoopaayate Namah. Guru Brhama Gur Vishnuh Gurudevo Maheshwarah. Guru Saakshaat Parabrahma Tasmei Shree Gurave Naah.

Aasan
A worship mat is used in order to ake the physical body free of ailments, the soul pure and gain divine powers. Basically a mat acts as a bad conductor and does not allow energy of Mantra chanting fro being earthed. Torn, burnt and used mats are prohibited. Deer skin, tiger skin, grass, silk, cotton and wood mats are best. Deer skin for gain of knowldge, tiger skin for spiritual progress and wealth and wool for riddance from sorrows and poverty are prescribed. Deities are offered a mat of flowers and then the following Mantra is chanted.
Ramyam Shubhanam Divyam Sarva Soukhakaram Shubham. Aasanam Cha Mayaa Grihaann Parameshwar.

Paadya
Offering water in the feet of deity is called Paadya. For this two spoonfuls of water is offered chanting thus.
Yad Bhakti Lesh Samparkat Paramaanand Sambhavah, Tasmei Te Parameshaan Paadya Shuddhaay Kalpaye Arghya

Water offered to deities for washing their hands is called Arghya. Mix flowers and fragrance in water in a tumbler. Offer chanting thus.
Arghyam Grihaann Devesh Gandh Pushpaakshateih Sah. Karunnaam Kuru Me Dev! Grihaannarghya Namastu Te.

Aachamaniya
Water offered to deity for rinsing the mouth is called Aachamaniya. Offer water chanting -
Sarva Teerth Samaaneetaam Sugandhim Nirmalam Jalam. Aachamyataam Mayaadattam Grihaann Parameshwar.

Snaan
All  deities are present in the ocean of knowledge, still three spoonfuls of water is offered as mark of respect for a bath.
Gangaa Saraswatee Revaa Payoshanni Narmadaajaleih. Snaapitosi Mayaa Dev Tathaa Shaantim Kurushnna Me

Vastra
Clean & new clothes are offered. Offering old, torn clothes leads to losses. Mouli (holy red thread) can be offered instead chanting thus.

Sarva Bhooshaadi Ke Soumye Lok Lajjaanivaaranne. Mayopapaadite Tubhyam Grihaan. Parameshwar.

Tilak
For riddance from sins, afflictions and misfortune a mark is made on the forehead of the deity. Sandalwood paste is best otherwise Ashtagandh, Gorochan, samphor, saffron and musk can also be used. Mantra -

Shree Khaad Chandanam Divyam Gandhaaddyam Sumanoharam. Vilepanam Sursheshtth Chadanam Pratigrihyaataam.

Akshat
Akshat means unbroken rice grains which are offered to gain wealth and prosperity. Mix with vermilion and offer them chanting thus.

Akshataashcha Surshreshtth Kumkumaaktaah Sushobhitaah. Maayaa Niveditaa Bhaktyaa Grihaann Parameshwar.

Pushp
Offer flowers to the deity for comforts, good luck and health chanting thus

Maalyaadeeni Sugandheeni Maalatyaadeeni Veiprabho. Mayopaneetaani Pushpaanni Grihaann Paraeshwar.

Dhoop
Offer incense made from choicest and most fragrant herbs to the deity chanting thus.

Vaaspati Rasobhootah Gandhaadyah Sumanoharah. Aaghreyah Sarvasevaanaam Dhoopoyam Pratigrihayataam.

Deep
Lighting a lamp before a deity signifies dispelling of darkness of ignorance from the Sadhak's life. Mantra-

Suprakaasho Mahaadeepah Sarvatah Timiraapahaah. Sa Baahyaamyaram Jyotih Deepoyam Pratigrihyataam.

Neivedya
Neivedya means elixir. While offering sweets or food articles chant thus.

Neivedyam Grihyataam Dev Bhaktim Me Hychalaam Kuru. Eepsitam Me Varam Dehi, Sarvasoubhaagya Kaarakam.

Taambool
Offer a betel nut containing betel nuts, cloves and cardamom. A betel leaf is symbolic of the six-teen Kalas or divine virtues. Mantra-

Poongifalam Mahad Divyam Naagvalee-rdaleirutam. Elaadi Choornna Sanyuktam Taamboolam Pratigrihyataam.

Neeranjan Aarati
Sing the Aarti (special hymn) of the diety whom you are worshipping. For Aarti use a lamp with one or five wicks. Mantra

Aanand Mantra Makaraandam Anant Gandh Yogineedndraa Susthir Malindam Apaastabandham Vedaant Karannek Vikaash-sheelam Naaraaynnasya Charannambuj.

With this the worship is over. If one is not able to do Shodashopchaar worship one should do Panchopachaar worship while chanting the Mantra with full devotion.

One should daily offer prayers to one's deity and Guru.

Numerology Lesson 19


Numerology Lesson 19 - The Essences
In the last five Numerology lessons you've been learning about the Cyclic Vibrations. There are two types of Cyclic Vibrations:
Key Cyclic Vibrations
1.    The Pinnacles
2.    The Challenges
3.    The Life Path Periods
Personal Cyclic Vibrations
1.    The Personal Year
2.    The Essences
3.    The Transits
In this lesson, you will learn how to calculate and interpret the Essences. The vibrations found in the Essences contain directions to help you receive fulfillment in your current Personal Year. You can tap into abilities that may have gone unrecognized throughout the course of the year, by paying attention to the current Essence operating in your chart. We find the Essences are very informative. When you know what your Essence is, you are more apt to use the energies available with clarity and ease.
The Essences are derived from specific letters in your first, middle, and last name. (The system will work regardless if a person has one, two, or more than three names within their complete name.) As you've learned in this course, each letter in the alphabet has a numerical vibration. Each letter also represents a definite period of time. Unlike the other Cyclic Vibrations, the Essences and Transits are found in the letters of your name rather than your Birth Date. These time periods are called Transits as illustrated in the following chart:
Letter

N
W
5 years
F
O
X
6 years
G
P
Y
7 years
H
Q
Z
8 years
I
R

9 years

As you can see from the chart above, the numerical vibration assigned to a letter represents how many years the letter's nature will operate as an Essence. Let's use the name Ann as an example. The "A" operates for one year, the first "n" for five years, and the second "n" for five years. When the first letter completes its time, the next letter steps in. It takes eleven years to fully complete the time and activity in the name Ann. After the name is complete, it is repeated throughout the life.
A = 1, N = 5, N = 5
1 + 5 + 5 = 11 Year Cycle
In fundamental terms, names are created by combining letters. A name can be thought of like a theme that is repeated again and again throughout a person's life. All of a person's names are individual expressions and yet they harmonize like a musical chord when combined.
Calculating The Essences
To find the Essence for any given year, create a chart following the procedure below. We've prepared a blank Transit and Essence Chart for you. Please go down to that page and print out the blank chart. Hopefully you have a printer available. If not, just reproduce it on a piece of paper. Then return back to this spot to continue your learning.
1.    In the first open space in the Year column, place your subject's year of birth. Complete the rest of the column filling it in year by year.
2.    Fill in the Age column year by year. Remember to begin with zero in the year they were born.
3.    Fill in their First Name letter by letter in the next column. Remember to repeat the letter equivalent to the number the letter represents.
4.    Repeat this step for the Middle Name and Last Name as appropriate for each of the subject's names.
5.    Now add the numerical vibrations together followed by a slash "/" and the single digit reduction placing this information in the next column.
6.    Note the Essence for the current year.
Just like your Day of Birth, there is information in the individual numbers that make up the single digit Essence. Refer back to LS 5 to refresh your memory since the principles are the same. Also note whether the Essence is a Karmic number or not. Refer to back to LS 12 for a quick update if you like.
Age Chart for Timing The Essences
For ease of illustration, we have included only the first seventy years below in our example using Barbara's name. You can easily continue adding years to the chart. Just like the Pinnacles and Challenges, an Essence begins on the individual's Birth Date. In contrast, the Personal Year begins at the beginning of a new year (January 1st).
