Hari Sarvothama, Vayu Jeevothama, Sri Gurubhyo Namaha Reference: ----------DEVA PUJA (MADHVA SAMPRADAYA) by Sri T. G.

Ramachandra Rao Abhiramapuram, Chennai- 600 018 Tel # 24995664 PREFACE: The pancharathra is the source for the puja for prathimas. Jagad Guru Sri Madhvacharya in his work Tantrasara sangraha has given detailed guidelines in 442 shlokas, for performance of devapuja by individuals dailly at home as well as the procedure for installing a deity in a temple & its puja procedure. Sri Jayatheertha (Teekacharya) has in a brief 126 shlokas of his work "PADHYAMALA" described the procedure for devapuja with emphasis on our mental attitude & intense involvement in the ritual. It is the duty for everyone to perform devapuja dailly without fail. Devapuja consists of two types. One is puja for a Prathima (Idol) with the parivara devathas (to whom proper importance according to the taratamya (gradations) in the hierarchy of devathas as elucidated by Sri Madhva has to be accorded) which requires very great sanctity to the observed & elaborate procedure. The other is Saligrama pooja. The deva puja is being performed with vedic manthras. It has to be realized that during the earlier yugas, all men were able to learn all the vedas & remember them, but during course of time human beings began losing their earlier mental capacities & hence our sages ordained that each family should master atleast one veda. Even this had become beyond the capacity of man & hence during the lifetime of man, 40 rituals were ordained to be performed from birth to death. The vedic manthras had been voven into these rituals, so that, it would be possible for one to chant these manthras (in reality atleast hear these manthras chanted) during one's lifetime. Amongst these manthras, the most important & potent manthras are included in the Sandhyavandanam & the Deva puja. It is therefore essential that brahmacharis & grahasthas do these two important rituals regularly.

The procedure of Deva Puje consist of Shodasa Upacharas. These Upacharas are as follows: 1. Arghyam (offering water to wash hands) 2. Padhyam (Offering water to wash feet) 3. Aachamanam ( water to wash mouth) 4. Madhupargham (A drink consisting of curd, ghee & honey) 5. Punaraachamanam (water to wash mouth again)

6. Snanam (Bath) 7. Vasthram (Clothes to wear) 8. Aabaharanam (Jewels) 9. Yagnyopavitham (Sacred thread) 10. Aasanam (seat) 11. Chandanam (Sandal paste) 12. Pushpam (Garland flowers) 13. Dhoopam (incence) 14. Deepam (Lighted lamps) 15. Neivedhyam (Offering of food, fruits etc...) 16. Namaskaram (Prostration) Further the following upacharas are also to be offered. These are described as Rajopacharas (Royal courtisies) 1. Thamboolam (Betal leaves & betal etc...) 2. Dhakshina (Offering of coins, money) 3. Padhuka (Footwear) 4. Chathra (Umbrella) 5. Chamara 6. Vyajana (fan for breeze) 7. Dharpana (Mirror) 8. Geetha (Music) 9. Nruthya (Dance) 10. Vadhya (Instrumental Music) 11. Andholika (Swing) LIST OF ITEMS REQUIRED FOR THE PUJA: 1. Saligrama, 2. Prathima of Vishnu, Sridevi & Bhudevi (or Sri Rama, Sita, Sri Vittala Rakumai, Sri Lakshmi Narasimha or any other form of Vishnu as per the family tradition) Hanuman, Garuda, Shesha. 3. Sampushta for keeping the Saligrama 4. Abhisheka plate (Somasuthra Pathra) carved with Chakrabja Mandala (Vijayadasara suladhi). 5. Small 3 legged stand to keep the Abhisheka. 6. Two Kalasa i.e. vessel to store Abhisheka water 7. Shankha for performing Abhisheka 8. Two lamps 9. Gante with the figure of Hanuman 10. Two thertha pathras 11. Small receptacle having three containers to keep Sandal paste, Akshatha & Charcoal (Angara) 12. Container for Keeping Kumkum, Haldi, Manthrakshatha 13. Sandalwood piece with grinding stone, Thulasi Kashta, Haldi finger or stump, Dried plantain flower leaves. 14. Plate to keep Thulasi leaves & flowers 15. Plate to keep Thambula, Coconut & prasada 16. Two Aarathiladles 17. One Dhoopam ladle

18. Krishnaanjana, a wooden box covered with deer skin tokeep the Sampushta with the Saligrama, the Shankha & the Gante. CONSUMABLE ITEMS: 1. Raw Camphor 2. Cardomom 3. Saffron 4. Ghee or Gingely oil 5. Cotton wicks for lamps & Aarathi 6. Thulasi can be stored 7. Flowers if available 8. Betal leaves, betal, coconut, fruits or other prasada like sugar candy 9. Napkin to dry the Saligramas after abhisheka 10. Kumkum, Haldi, Manthrakshatha 11. Dasangam (Powder of ten aromatic dried leaves)

IMPORTANT: For Saligrama Puja, sanctity has to be observed. The ideal condition would be to wash the pure cotton dhoti, angavasthra & the napkin (for drying the saligramas), everyday & dry them in a place out of access to others & use them when dried at the time of puje. Alternatively dhothi & angavasthram made out of hemp or fine jute or superior cloth called Dhavala can be washed weekly once & kept in box in the puja room or shelf, which can be worn exclusively during puja & taken off & stored for next day. Keeping them in a Krishnanjana bag (dearskin bag) is ideal.
