Then keep reciting Pranava, perform Dhyaana with Dhruvaadyouh and
three other Ruks, slowly give Gayatri in the ears of the Deva, give Purusha
Sukta touching the Idol’s paada-naabhi and siras and make the japa of Ihai
vidhi thrice. The Karta then would recite the following prayer:
Swaagatam Deva Devesha madbhaagyaatwa mihaagatah, Praakrutam
twamadrushtwaa maam Baalavat paripaalaya/ Dharmaartha Kaama siddhyartham
sthiro bhava Shivaayanah, Saannidhyam tu sadaa Deva swarchaayaam

(Deva Devesha! May your arrival bring all round happiness to us; it
isd our unique fortune that we are able to vision you! Kindly do not ignore
me that I am a Prakruta and Ayogya or Worldly wise and Undeserving! Do
please treat me as a child and provide me protection from the vicissitudes
in life and bestow all kinds of fulfillments of Dharma-Artha-Kaama- Moksha.
Do bless me to be always near you till such time that Surya and Chandra
last for ever. Indeed you are the father of the Srishti in totality and the
OmniPresent and the OmniScient; never discard me and bestow my proximity
always!)
Then the Acharya or the Karta should formally welcome the Archana
Murti ar the Shiva Linga as the case that be with the Aavaahayami Mantras
: Bhuh Purusha maavaahayaami, Bhuvah Purusha -maavaahayaami, Swah
Purusha maavaahayaami, Bhurbhuvah Purusha maavaahayaami/ After the

Aapassi -vatamaa, Aachamaneeyastaa rushantaam pratigrihyataam/ Then Arghya
and Panchaamrita snaana: Imaa Aapah Arghyastaa rushantaam –Idam Vishnuh to

Further Vastra and Yanopaveeta be offered followed by ‘Gandha’

Jyotisshukram cha Tejascha Devaanaam satatam priyam, Prabhaakritssava
bhutaanaam Deepoyam Pratigrihyataam, Pratigrihnaatu bhavaan/
While offering the Deepa, the Karta dedicates flowers to each of the
Vishnu Naamaas and performs Dwadasha Ahutis to Agni Deva of Payasa Gudaanna
in favour of Sharanginey, Shriyai, Sarasvatyai, Vishnavey as also the
Mantras :
Vishnornukam veeryaani, Tadasya Priya, Pratadvishnuh,
Paromaatrayaa, Vichakramey, Trirdevah Prithivi/
followed by Naivedya of Griha Siddhaana with Tilas to Vishnu. In the
case of Shiva Linga, after the Deepa Darshana, the Karta recites:
Bhavaayadevaaya, Sharvaaya devaaya, Ishaanaaya devaavaaya,
Pashupataye devaaya, Rudraaya devaaya, Ugraaya devaaya, Bheemaaya devaaya,
ahatey devaaya and performs Pushpa Puja, Tarpana, Tilaanna Homa, Paayasa

Sahamaanaaya Shitikanthaaya Kapardiney Taamraaya Arunaaya Aapaguramaanaaya
Hiranyabaahavey Saspinjaraaya Babhrushaaya, Hiranyaaya/
Finally, the Karta gives away Go daanaas and Dakshinaas to
Ritviks and organises Vipra Bhojana to either hundred or at least to twelve
minimum.
In the Nutana Devalaya, there should be a Jalaashaya Pratishta too.
Samkshipta Chala Murti Pratishtha:
The Karta has to make the Sankalpa, Naandi Shraaddha, Acharya
Varana, Aamuka Deva Pratishta Karma, Sarvato Bhadra Mandala Prakriya,
Brahmaadi Mandala Devata-Aavaahana Puja,
Agni Pratishtha and Anvaadhaana, Samidha-
ajya-tila-charu homa to ‘Sthaapya Devata’ and Mandala Devataas,
Pratishtha Devata’s Mrittikaa Snaana with Dasha Mrittikaas of
Tadaaga-Nadi-Teera- Goshtha-Chatwara or the Center of Four
Roads-Parvata-Gajasthaana-Ashwasthaana-Hrada- Valmika-Nadi Sangama Sthala;
Pancha Gavya Snaana; Ashtha Kalasha Sthapana with Durva, white Mustard and
Pancha Pallavaas;
Mantraabhisheka; Agnyut -taarana; Ashta Kumbha Sthaapana; Ashta
Deepa Karana; Deva Netronmeelana; Chitraanna Bali; Purusha Sukta Stuti;
Chaturpadardha Aajya Homa; Mandala Devataa Homa, Purnaahuti; Sukta Nyaasa
Aavaahana; Panchamrita Snaana, Abhisheka;
Vastra-Yagnopaveeta-Dhupa-Deepaadi-Naivedya-Tamboola-Phala-Neeraajana-Pradakshina-Pushpaanjali;
Kshamaapana Prarthana- Acharya Dakshina-Ashta Kumbhaabhisheka to
Karta-Brahmana Bhojana-Vishnu Smarana-and Ishwaraarpana. Punah Pratishtha:
The Pratishtha Devata requires Punah Pratishtha in the events of
Madya-Chandaala Sparsha, Vahni Dagdhana, Brahmana Rakta-Paapaatma Sparsha,
Murti Bhedana/ Khandana, Sthaana Chalana, Nitya Puja Naasti, Shava-
Gardhabaadi-Asuchi Vastu- Patita-Chora-Rajaswala Sparsha and so on.
There no doubt could be remedies for none-too-pronounced flaws such
as Archana Bhangata for a few days or minor chouryaas, then observance of
dina-ratri upavaasa might absolve the deficiency. If Puja is not done on
one day, one could perform double puja or if it is abscence of two Ratris,
then Maha Puja be performed. But if there is prolonged failure of Puja,
Dhatu Murti Sparsha by Chora-Chandala-Rajaswala or such serious blemishes
occur, then Loha Patra Shuddi, Murti Punah Pratishtha and such actions of
Restoration would be called for.
The Process entails Jalaadhi vaasa, PanchaGavya Snaana, Kalasha
Snaana with Purusha Sukta ranging from twenty eight to eight thousand
times; Gandha Pushpaadi Puja, Gudaanna Nivedana should bestow Punah
Pratishtha purification. Punah Pratishta could be performed in Mala
Maasaas, Shukraasthamayaadis and such other days too after ascertaing the
suitable Dina-Nakshatra-Muhurtas.
If there is destruction or decadence of Devalaya’s
Vaapi-Kupa-Tadaagaas then Ajyaahutis be executed with the Mantra
Maanastokey Vishnoh karmaani paadosya, followed by Brahmana Bhojanaas. Puja
lopa Samprokshana: The Karta has to perform Devodwaasana, Mrikkikaa Jala-
Pancha Gavya Snaana, Kushodaka shodhana with Moola Mantraas, Ashtottara
Shata Prokshana, Shira-Peethaanta Sparsha, Tatwa Nyasa-Maatrukaakshara
Nyasa-Mantra Nyasa-Prana Pratishtha and Maha Puja. Jeernoddhaarana Vidhi:
This is essentially in respect of the eventuality of Lingaadi
Bhagna-Dagdhana.
If it is a Siddha Pratishthita Linga, then Mahaabhisheaka might
suffice, unless the damage is extensive. In such an extreme case, the
Jeernodhaara Vidhi is as follows: The Karta should make the Sankalpa Amuka
Devasya Jeernoddhaaram karishye/ ;
Naandi Shraaddha, Acharya Varana, Peetha Mandala
Devataavaahana, Linga Shadanga Nyasa, Aghora Mantra Japa, Agni Pratishtha,
Ghritakta Sarshapa Sahasra Homa to Indraadis and Tila Homa to Jeerna Deva
with the Mantra:
Jeerna bhagna midam chaiva Sarva doshaadaham Nrinaam, Asyoddaarey
kritey shaanti ssaastresmin kathitaa twayaa/ Jeernoddhaara vidhaanamcha
Nripa raashtra hitaavaham, Tadadhisthaayataam Deva praharami tavaagnyaa/
(Deveshwara! As this Murti is not in perfect condition, this
has to be revived lest, there might be several obstacles to the Society as
a whole and there is need for restoration of the Pratishta Devata. To the
Kingship and the Kingdom there could be perils like Kshaama-Rogas affecting
the peace of the Public and that is why we wish to replace the affected
Murti in a formal and Vedic manner as per your own inspiration and
instruction.).
As the first step of the ‘Lingoddaarana’, Hundred Eight
‘Tilaajyaahutis’ are perfomed, besides thousand times with Ksheera- Madhu-
Durvaaraadi Samiddhaas with the prayers to Linga Swarupa as follows: Linga
rupam samaagatya yenedam samadhishthitam, Yaayaastwam sammitam staanam
samtyajjaiva Shivaagnayaa/ Atra sthaaney cha yaa Vidyaa Sarva
Vidyeshwaryair- yutaah, Shivena saha santishtheyuh/ ( Ishwara! You are
manifested in the Linga Swarupa, but as this Linga is not worship worthy
since it is not fully perfect, we hereby obey your own directive to replace
the original with a new Linga so that it could be enjoined in the comity of
Devas to be worshipped).
‘Visarjana’of the Jeerna Linga be thus done with the Prokshana
along with Astra Mantras, pull it out with Vaama Deva Mantras and leave it
in the fast currents of a River amid Pranava Naada. If the Jeena Linga is a
Daaru Linga, then it should be placed in Agni. To accomplish Shanti on
account of disposing of the Jeerna Murti or Linga, homaas be executed
thousand times reciting Aghoraadi Mantras with ghee, milk, honey and
stating:
Bhagavan Bhuta bhavyesha Loka Naatha Namostutey, Jeerna Linga
samuddhaa –rah krutastavaagnyayaa mayaa/ Agni naa Daarujam dagdham kshiptam
Shailaadikam Jaley Praayas -chittaaya Devesha Aghoraastrena tarpitam,
Jnaanato jnaanatovaapi yathoktam na kritam yadi, Tatsarvam Puranamey Vaastu
twatpraasaadaan Maheshwara/
(Bhagavan! You are indeed the Master of the generations of the
Past-Present and the Future; it is indeed under your instruction that I
have discarded the Jeerna Linga either by scorching in Agni if it is a
Daaru Linga, or by keeping in the swift waters if it is made of Stone; this
task as was done either by ignorance or full awareness and as a
Prayaschitta I have performed tarpanaas with Aghoraastra Mantras)
. Go Vipra Shilpi bhutaanaa maachaaryasya cha Yajvanah,
Shantirbhavatu Devesha Aachhidram jaayataa midam/
( Deveshwara! May Arishta Shanti be bestowed on Go
Brahmanas, Shilpi who has constructed the Linga to be commisioned soon, and
may the new Linga be everlasting without impediments as being
worship-worthy for ever).
Having resolved to replace the Jeerna Linga with the New One, the
Karta must ensure that within a month’s time the consecration must be
accomplished. Pratimaa bhanga Shanti Vidhana: There indeed is a risk of
life to the Karta in the absence of even a Jeerna Murti / Linga till the
new one is installed. The Shanti Vidhana is as follows:
Kundam krutwaa vidhaanena tato homam samaacharet, Charumcha Yama
Daivatwam saadhayitwaa vidhaanatah/ Dadhikshoudra ghritaaktaanaa mashvattha
samidhaamtatah, Juhuyaaashti shatam praagna imaa Rudreti mantravit/
Maashairgudgaistilaischaiva Ghritinaa Madhunaapicha, Ebhih Pancha
Sahapraani Shakti beejena homayet, Bhumim Dhenu manadvaaham swarnam
dhaanyam sadakshinmam, Datwaatha Pancha gaveyna snaayaa ddevaalaye Dwijah/
Balim dadyaadyamaa -yaatha krisarai paayasaistathaa, Ishaanaaya Balim
datwaa kritakrityo Bhavennarah/
(An Agni Kunda be made and offered to Agni a Yama Deva-oriented
Charu followed by hundere eight Aahutis of curd-honey-ghee applied
Samidhaas of Peepal Tree with the Mantra of Imaa Rudraa followed by five
thousand homaas with the Mula Mantra Heenkaara using Maasha- Mudgara-
Tilka- Ghee and Madhu.Then PanchaGavya be applied in washing Bhumi, Dhenu,
Vrishabha, Swarna, Dhanyam, Dakshinam. Yama Bali is given with Dadhyanna
and Paayasa Bali to Ishaana. Puja be done with fresh and unspoilt flowers
and fruits as Naivedya.
Pushpa Puja Prakarana: Following is a brief account of Flowers to
adore Devaas. Dharmaarjita Dhana keetataryah kuryaat
Keshavaarchanam,Aparyushita doshosti maalaa kaara griheshucha/
(Those Pushpaas which are bought out of one’s earnings in a Dharmika
way are indeed worthy of Puja to Devas. Such flowers for one’s own Nitya
Puja need be procured even by ‘Chourya Saadhana’ or thieving but not by
begging.’ Nirmalya’ is defined as:
Devopati dhrutam Vaamahasteydhovastrey cha Jalentah Ksaalatam cha
Pushpam Nirmalyam/
(Those flowers plucked into Vastras, or brought my left hand, those
which are washed in water, or those which are requested for are called
Nirmalya. )
Varjyam paru -shitam Pushpam Varjyam parushitam jalam, Na
Varjyam Tulasi Patram na varjyamTulasi patram na varjyam Teertha jam Jalam/
(Those folowers and waters which are acquired a day earlier are
not worthy of puja.However Tulasi Patra and Tirtha Jala are worthy of
worship). Jaaji Pushpa is stated not to cross a ‘Yaama’ for worship.
Karavira could last for a day and night. Tulasi, Bilwa Patra do not
suffer from the time limit. Kundana or Jasmine, Chandana, Agastya Pushpa
and Kalikaas or flower buds are stated to be fresh as they are received.
Bilva patra lasts freshness for thirty days, Apamarga for
three days, Jaaji patra one day, Tulasi for six days, Shami Patra for six
days, Shatavari for eleven days, Ketaki for four days, Bhringaraaja for
nine days, Durvaara for eight days, Mandara for one day, Padma for one day,
Nagakesara for two days, Darbha for thirty days, Agastya for three days,
Tila for one day, Mallika for four days, Champaka for nine days,
Karaveera for eight days and so on. Tulasi Mahima: As regards Tulasi,
it is stated that during the Vaidhruti and Vyatipata times,
Sunday-Tuesday-Fridays, Purnima and Amavasyas, Sankranti days, Dwadashi
Tithis and during Ashuchi days, plucking Tulasi is as atrocious as cutting
one’s own head.
Plucking Durva on Sundays, Tulasi on Raatris and Sandhyas, Dhatri
Patra in Kartika Month, no person desirous of achieving Punya would never
attempt. Nirmalya should not be removed on Dwadashi for Vishnu.
In Purushardha Chintamani the Narada Vachana states that
Panchamrita Snaana be done to Vishnu on Ekadashi and Ksheeraabhisheka be
done on Dwadashi to certainly accomplish ‘Bhagavat Saayujya’. It is said
that on Krishna Amavasya, Tulasi could be plucked for Deva Puja, Samidhas
for homa purposes, and grass for cows. To Tulasi, one’s prayer should be
Tulasyamrita na maasi sadatwam Keshava priye, Keshavaardhey
vichinvaami Varadaa bhava shobhaney/
(Devi Tulasi! You are the beloved of Keshava and possess the name
of Amrita; I am plucking your leaves to perform Vishnu Puja; kindly bestow
on me boons).Having said this, Dharma Sindhu states :
Jaati Mallikaa Karaveera Ashokotpala champaka Bakula Bilwa Shami
Kushaa etaani Sarva Devataanaam Vihitaani/
(All of these aforementioned are universally accepted by Sarva
Devataas)
However, following are forbidden in the worship of specified Devatas:
Paatala Shami patramcha Durgaayaah, Kunda Palaasha Bakula Durvaah
Shivasya, Kumuda Tagare Suryasya, Tulasi Bhringaraaja tamaala patraani
Shiva Durga yoh, Agasti Maadhavi lataa Lodhra pushmam Vishnu Shivayoh,
Dhattoora Mandaarou Vishnu Suryayoh/ Following are the Priya Pushpas to
Bhagavan Vishnu: Malati, Jaati, Ketaki, Mallika, Ashoka, Champaka,
Punnaaga, Vakula, Utpala, Kunda, Karaveera , Paatala and Tagara Pushpas.
Vishnu is fond of Apaamaarga, Bringaraaja, Khaadira, Shami, Durva, Kusha,
Damanaka, Bilwaand Tulasi Patra too.
Tulasi is the most precious possession of Vishnu. A person who
offers a Maala of thousand Jaaji Pushpaas would be blessed with Kalpa Koti
Shata Vishnu Puravaasa! If a person worships Vishnu with Mango maalaas
with faith and dedication , he is certain to achieve Koti Go Daana Phala.
Following are the Priya Pushpas to Maha Deva: Chaturnaam Pushpa Jaateenaam
Gandhamaaghraati Shankarah, Arkasya Karaveerasya Bilvasya Vakulasya cha/
Shankara Maha Deva is fond of the Sugandha of Arka, Karaveera, Bilwa
and Vakula); Worship to Shiva with Arka Pushpa would yield the Punya of
Dasha Suvarna Daana; a thousand times higher phala is bestowed on someone
who worships Shiva with the flowers of Dhattura, Shami Pushpa, Drona Pushpa
and Nila Kamala. Shankara is stated to have intimated to Devi Parvati
that him with Mani-Mukta- Pravaala and Ratnaas fade into insignificance
compared to the Puja with Bilwa Patra as the latter destroys poverty and
provides high fulfilment!
