How to perform Ganapathi Puja before any puja

Pasupu Ganapthi Puja

This pooja is done to the ganesh made with turmeric (called pasupu ganapati) so that there
would be no vighnas(obstacles) during the main pooja. This is the pooja that has to be
performed before doing any pooja irrespective of the god whom we are worshipping. As stated
earlier this helps us to complete the pooja without any obstacles.

Starting of Pooja:

shuklaam baradharam vishnum


sasivarnam chathurbhujam|
prasanna vadanam dhyaayeth
sarva vighnopa saanthayey|
The above sloka is on ganesh
Then we have light the diya/deepam enchanting the below sloka:

deepathvam brahmarooposi
jyothishaam prabhuravanayah|
saubhaagyam deyhi puthraamshcha
sarvaan kaamaamshchadeyhim|

After lighting the diya/deepam one has to apply kumkum at three places on the
diya/deepam.
Then we alert all that we are going to invite the God, we do that by ringing the bell and
reciting the below sloka

agamaardham thu devaanaam


gamanaardham thu rakshasaam|
kuru ghamtaaravam thathra
devathaahvaana laamChanam|

with this we are ready to star the pooja of the turmeric ganesha.
Then we have to do ACHAMANA

We do this by taking three spoons of water telling the below mantras

om keyshavaaya svaahaa (take one spoon of water)


om naaraayanaaya svaahaa (take one spoon of water)
om maadhavaaya svaahaa (take one spoon of water)

then we go ahead and say the Govinda namas:

om govindhaaya namah, om vishnavey namah,


om madhusoodhanaaya namah, om thrivikramaaya namah,
om vaamanaaya namah, om shreedharaaya namah,
om Rusheekeyshaaya namah, om padhmanaabhaaya namah,

om achyuthaaya namah, om janaardhanaaya namah,
om upeymdhraaya namah, om harayey namah,
om sri krishnaaya namah, om sri Krishna parabrahmane namaha.

This ends the govinda namahs


We recite the following remembering all the trimurtis and other gods

umaa maheshvaraabhyaam namah,
vaanee hiranyagarbaabhyaam namah,
sachee purandharaabhyam namah,

For us to do pooja we need a Asan and for making it sacred we do recite the below sloka
and put some akshinta on our backside.

uththishtanthu bhoothapishaachaa
eythey bhoomibhaarakaah|
eytheyshaa mavirodeynaa

Next we do pranayama reciting the below

om |thathsavithurvareynyam bhargo devasya deemahi dhiyo yonah prachodhayaath|
om apojyothi rasomrutham brahma bhoorbuvassuvarom

Then we have to describe were we are positioned, what year month, thiti, day of the
week, who we are (gothra and nama) and also what is it that we are expecting or doing
this ritual

Every time we do a sankalpa (reason for doing the pooja) we have to leave akshintalu
along with water. Take akshintalu in the right hand and pour water with left hand over the
right hand and leave the akshinatalu along with water into the plate.

Then we have to do pooja to the glass with water which is to be used for pooja, in this we try to make the
water more pure by trying to get water from all the pure rivers into this using mantras:

For Worshiping the Kalasha we need to apply sandalwood paste at three places around the Kalasha and
then apply pasupu(turmeric) and kum kum and the sandalwood paste reciting the below sloka.

kalashasyamukhey vishnuh
kantey rudhra ssamaashrithah|
mooley thathrosthitho brahmaa

put some akshita and one/two flowers in the glass/tumbler keep your right hand closing
the mouth of the tumbler for few seconds and then start rotating the water in the
tumbler/glass with the flower in it reciting the below solka:

gangeycha yamuney chaiva


godhaavari sarasvathi|narmadey sindhu kaaveri
jaleysmin sannidhim kuru|

Then we have to cleanse ourselves for doing the pooja with the holy water in the glass,
so using the flower we sprinkle water on the pasupu ganapathi , ourselves(wife and all
who are doing the pooja) and all the items that are being used for pooja by reciting the
below sloka

light some camphor

ganapathi is there and move it towards nothr by few millimeters reciting the below.
