Daily Worship for Jyotishas

GURU'S NOTE:

While agreeing to this, we are of the view that each individual member should adhere to these guidelines inside the premises of the Center and should gradually move towards self-purification. The students of Jyotish will be given a specific mantra and can add the Maha mantra to their daily japa.

The following are provided for daily practice: -

	Wake up and worship your family deity or alternatively, Sri Jagannath with the Dwadasakshari Mantra " OM NAMO BHAGAVATE VASUDEVAYA" as He is the head of Vasudeva Kutumba. This world is one family and should be viewed as such under all circumstances for proper spiritual growth.
	Take a bath and worship Sri Ganga Mata while bathing chant " HAR HAR GANGE"
	Perform daily Pooja of the following deities: Sri Ganesha: OM SRI GANESAYA NAMA Sri Guru: VYAM VYASADEVAYA NAMAH Sri Surya: OM GHRINI SURYAADITYA Sri Vishnu: HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE, HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE Sri Maha Vishnu OM NAMO NARAYANAYA Sri Lakshmi: OM SHRIM HRIM KLIM MAHALAKSHMAYAI JAGATPRASUTAYAI SWAHA Sri Siva: OM NAMAH SIVAYA NAMO SOMESHWARAYA Sri Mata: OM AIM HRIM KLIM CHAMUNDAYAI VICHCHAI

	This practice will take about one hour and it is advisable to start this at 6 AM daily. Do not get up immediately after the pooja. Do a Shanti Mantra or a Bhajan of your Ista devata.
	The rituals should be kept at a minimum: Panch Upachar of the Ista devata only. Offer water, ghee lamp, incense, and naivedya (food), flower & sandal paste.
	Meditate on the ekakshar mantra of Sri Vishnu/ Krishna " SHRIM" for 15 minutes before starting the pooja.
	A block diagram on the Sankhya Shastra is enclosed for your perusal.

With best wishes,
