Our most revered late Periyavaal of Kaanchi Kaamakoti Peetam, in Vol. II of his
book "Deivaththin Kural", in the section headed "Vedamum Thamizh Naadum",
described the six obligatory actions (shad-karmam, i.e.varna-dharmam) of us
braahmanas. These are (1) performing sandhyaa-vandanam after bath, (2)
gaayathree japam, (3) homam (fire-sacrifice, or yajnyam), (4) devathaa
poojanam, (5) soorya-namaskaaram, and (6) vaishvadeva-poojanam.
The daily Shiva (panchaayathana) pooja is one of the prescribed karmams.
After a very long lapse, I was fortunate to perform in full the Shiva
(panchaayathana) pooja yesterday.
Briefly, it consists of archana-abhisheka-shodasha-upachaarana pooja to five
deities. These deities are Somaskanda Parameshvara Shiva, his divine Consort
Ambika, Lord Ganesha, the Sun, and Lord Mahaa-Vishnu as Purusha.
It requires doing/chanting of the following:- (1) aachamaneeyam (thrice); (2)
shuklaam bharatharam vishnum; (3) praanaayaamam; (4) sankalppam; (5)
gandhaaravam (ringing of bell with manthram); (6) kalasha pooja; (7) varuna
japam; (8) shankha pooja and japam; (9) aathma pooja; (10 seeking
Nandikeshvaran's permission for intended Shiva pooja; (11) devathaa
snaana-peeta sthaapanam; (12) laghu-nyaasa chant; (13) devathaa
dhyaana-aavahanam:- (a) mahaa ganapathi, (b) shiva, (c) ambika, (d) the Sun,
and
(e) mahaa-vishnu.
(14) pancha-kalasha pooja; (15) aasanaadi upaachaara pooja of sa-parivaara
saamba-parameshvara; (16) abhishekam (of 12 to 16 dravyams) to the chants of
rudram, chamakam, purusha sooktham, rudraa sooktham, navagraha sooktham; (17)
pancha-kalasha theertha abhishekam; (18) vasthroththareeya dhaaranam; (19)
gandha-haridraa-kumkuma dhaaranam; (20) individual archanas to (a) mahaa
ganapathi, (b) shiva, (c) ambika, (d) aadithya (Sun), and (e) mahaa-vishnu;
(21) doops-deepa-neiveidyam; (22) thaamboola nivedanam;
(23) hastha prakshaalanam; (24) paada prakshaalaam; (25) achamaneeyam; (26)
karppoora neeranjanam and aachamaneeyam; (27) raksha dhaaranam; (28)
nandikeshvara pooja; (29) pradakshana-namaskaaram; (30) chathur-veda
paaraayanam; (31) aasheervaatham; (32) nandikeshvara (nirmaalya) pooja; (33)
brahmaarppanam; (34) shanku-theertha sip, sprinkle, distribute to devotees.
That concludes the pooja.
Tomorrow, I shall list the manthrams which the performing kartha needs to chant
during the pooja.
