A Sacred Abhiṣeka and Pūjā Ceremony
A sacred abhiṣeka and pūjā ceremony unfolds. Families bathe separately with milk-mixed water. The Ṣaḍaṅga Rudra Abhiṣeka is performed through a brāhmaṇa. Remembrance of Mahā Gaṇapati ensures accomplishment without obstacles. Hands join in meditation on Bhagavān Sūrī Nārāyaṇa. Meditation follows on Bhagavān Rāmachandra with Sabrīvar. Hands join again to meditate on Gurujī and Swāmījī. Flowers are taken to worship Gaṇapati. Milk bath, conch bath, pure water bath, and mixed five-nectar bath are offered. Worship proceeds with fragrant water and offerings of sandalwood, rice, and flowers. A stotra is sung during the adornment. The Gaṇapati Stotram grants desires—knowledge, wealth, sons, liberation. The Rāma Rakṣā Stotram protects all limbs and grants victory. Āratī is performed with the congregation. Blessings invoke the destruction of adharma, goodwill for beings, welfare of the world, and cessation of cow slaughter. Final offerings and prostrations complete the ritual.
"Ratnaiḥ Kalpitam Āsanam Himajalaiḥ Snānaṃ Cha Divyāmbaram Nānāratna Vibhūṣitam Rāghavendra Modaṅgitam Candanam."
"Karacaraṇakṛtaṃ Vā, Kāyajā Karmajā Vā, Śravaṇanayanajā Vā, Mānasāṃ Vāparādham, Vihitaṃ Vihitaṃ Vā, Sarvametat Kṣamasva."
