Śrī Mahāga Apatikrama Caturāv Ttitarpa Am

श्री महागणपतिक्रमः चिुरावृतििपपणम् Śrī Mahāgaṇapatikramaḥ Caturāvṛttitarpaṇam
I. Introduction:
Mahāgaṇapati plays significant role in Śrī Vidyā. Generally first step in Śrī Vidyā initiation is
Mahāgaṇapati mantra. Apart from mantra japa, tarpaṇam is done for Mahāgaṇapati to seek His
Grace for health, wealth, knowledge, happiness, liberation, etc. He also removes any possible
obstacles in seeking Her Grace. For attaining Her Grace, one needs to have to strong body, pure
mind and good knowledge. When all these work together perfectly, subject to one’s karmic
impressions, Liberation is guranteed. It is also said that by perrforming this tarpaṇam all evil
effects are removed (vigṇavināyaka pāta namaste|| विग्णविनायक पात नमस्ते॥). Number of
tarpaṇa-s is 444 per session.
Mahāgaṇapati mūlamantra has 28 bījākṣara-s. 444 tarpaṇa-s are arrived as follows.
1. Mahāgaṇapati mūlamantra tarpaṇa-s 12
2. Tarpaṇa-s each bījākṣara 28 x 4 times 112
3. At the end of each bījākṣara tarpaṇa one
mūlamantra tarpaṇa 28 x 4 times 112
4. There are 26 āvaraṇa devata-s in His yantra.
Four tarpaṇa-s for each āvaraṇa devata-s 26 x 4 104
5. At the end of tarpaṇa-s for each āvaraṇa devata
four mūlamantra tarpaṇa-s 26 x 4 104
6. Total tarpaṇa-s 444
1
This is to be done for a contious period of 44 days. This period varies according to traditions.
Gnerally either 41 or 44 days are followed. It is also done for one day to one year.
II. Requirements For Ganpati Chaturavritti Tarpanam:
Turmeric powder, water in a vessel (preferably a copper vessel which can hold sufficient water
for performing 444 tarpaṇa-s), powdered condiemnts comprising of cardomom, clove, edible
camphor, sandal paste, saffron, etc. A plate for offering tarnpana and in this plate Gaṇapati is to
be made using turmeric powder mixed with a few drops of water. This turmeric Gaṇapati is to be
adored with sandal paste and kumkum. Wherever possible, turmeric Gaṇapati can be placed on a
beetal leaf. In case beetel leaf is not available a small copper or silver place can be used to keep
turmeric Gaṇapati. Alternatively, tarpaṇa-s can be done on Mahāgaṇapati yantra or on His idol.
Performing on a yanta is ideal. Apart from the above, as usual pañcapātra and uttaraṇi are
needed.
There are various methods of offering tarpaṇa-s. Gnerally a flower is held between the middle
and ring fingers of the right hand; alternatively crystal, rudrākṣa, gold ring, etc are held in the
place of flowers. There is no need to have any of these, when none of them are available.
III. Preliminaries:
a. Ācamana:
Ācamana is a procedure where water is taken in the right palm, which is sipped after reciting
each of these mantras.
ॐ गं आत्मतत्वाय स्वाहा। om gaṁ ātmatatvāya svāhā |
ॐ गं विद्यातत्वाय स्वाहा। om gaṁ vidyātatvāya svāhā |
2
ॐ गं विितत्वाय स्वाहा। om gaṁ śivatatvāya svāhā |
ॐ गं सिवतत्वाय स्वाहा॥ om gaṁ sarvatatvāya svāhā ||
Once this is done, right palm should be washed and dried.
b. Prāṇāyāmaḥ:
Do prāṇāyāma by reciting Mahāgaṇapati mūlamantra. Fold index and middle fingers of the
right palm. Use the little finger and the ring finger to close the left nostrils and the thumb to close
the right nostril. Inhale through the left nostril, hold for a few seconds and exhale through the
right nostril. It is ideal to end prāṇāyāma by inhaling through left nostril.
(Further reading on prāṇāyāma: According to Śiva Svarodaya it is always better to inhale
through the left nostril few times so that normal breathing (svara) itself changes to left nostril
inhalation. When svara or flow of breath is changed to left nostril, it brings in further
auspiciousness. In particular svara flow through left nostril is very good while practicing
mantras. There are several verses about this in Śiva Svarodaya. In this present case, it is better
to inhale through left nostril by reciting the following mantra, hold within for a few seconds and
simply exhlae through the right nostril. This can be repeated several times and this is different
from nāḍi śodhana Prāṇāyāma.)
This is Mahāgaṇapati mūlamantra:
ॐ श्र ं ह्र ं क्रं ग्लं गं गणपतये िरिरद सिवजनं मे ििमानय स्वाहा॥
om śrīṁ hrīṁ klīṁ glauṁ gaṁ gaṇapataye varavarada sarvajanaṁ me vaśamānaya svāhā ||
c . Gurupādukā worship:
3
As Mahāgaṇapati Chaturavrutti tarpaṇam is mainly followed under Śrī Vidyā cult, one has to
worship his or her Guru-s. If one does not have a guru, then the following mantra can be used.
सदावििसमारम्ां िंकराचायवमध्यमां ।
अस्मदाचायवपयवन्तं िन्दे गुरु परं परां ॥
sadāśivasamārambhāṁ śaṁkarācāryamadhyamāṁ |
asmadācāryaparyantaṁ vande guru paraṁparāṁ ||
(Beginning from Lord Sadāśiva, through Śaṁkarācārya and up to my Guru, I pay my obeisance
to all the Gurus)
d. Saṁkalapaḥ:
िुक्ां बरधरं विष्ुं िवसिणं चतुर्ुवजम्।
प्रसन्निदनं ध्यायेत् सिवविग्नोप िान्तये॥
śuklāṁbaradharaṁ viṣṇuṁ śasivarṇaṁ caturbhujam |
prasannavadanaṁ dhyāyet sarvavignopa śāntaye ||
(Meaning: Eternally present, wearing white garments, shining like the moon, having four hands,
whose face is full of Bliss, I worship you to remove all the obstacles (while performing this pūjā.
This is addressed to Mahāgaṇapati Himself.)
This saṁkalapa is based on Śri Chakra navāvaraṇa pūjā. Without changing anything, this
saṁkalapa can be made. However, other saṁkalapa-s can also be followed.

His appearance before us and our desire to talk to Him.
e. Prayer to Sun god:
By looking at the kalaśa, recite the following mantra.
ब्रह्माण्डोदरतरतीवन करै ः स्पृ ष्टावन ते स्वे।
तेन स्त्येन मे दे ि तरथाव दे वह वदिाकरे ॥
5
brahmāṇḍodaratīrtīni karaiḥ spṛṣṭāni te sve |
tena styena me deva tīrthā dehi divākare ||
f. Invoking Gaṅgā Devi (river Ganges) in the kalaśa:
Now take the kalaśa filled with water and mix the powdered condiments. Decorate the kalaśa
with sndal paste, kumkum and flowers.
For performing 444 tarpaṇa-s, lot of water is needed. There are two options. One, to have a big
vessel to hold enough water to do 444 tarpaṇa-s and by lifting the same, do the tarpaṇa-s.
Second, invoke Gaṅgā in a bigger vessel and then transfer water in small quantities to pañcapātra
and by using uttaraṇi, do tarpaṇa-s. If pañcapātra is used, then pañcapātra should also be
decortated with sandal paste and kumkum. Pañcapātra and uttaraṇi used for ācamana should
never be used for doing tarpaṇa-s. There should always be two pañcapātra and uttaraṇi, one for
the God/Goddess and another for the self.
Close the vessel at its mouth by placing the right palm and recite the following mantra.
आिहयावम त्वां दे वि तपवणायेह सुन्दरर।
एवह गङ्गे नमस्तुभ्यं सिवतरथव समस्मन्वते॥
āvahayāmi tvāṁ devi tarpaṇāyeha sundari |
ehi gaṅge namastubhyaṁ sarvatīrthasamanvite ||
Now using aṅkuśa mudra (folding all other fingers except the index finger of the right palm) and
by touching the water in the kalaśa recite the following bījākṣara-s:
ह्ां ह्र ं ह्िवं ह्ैं ह्लं ह्ः hvāṁ hvīṁ hvūṁ hvaiṁ hvauṁ hvaḥ
6
(These bījākṣara-s lead to the expansion and kindling of amṛta bījā, which is recited next)
After reciting the above bījākṣara-s, recite िं vaṁ (amṛta bījā) seven times. After this, remove the
index finger.
At this stage, the water in the kalaśa beocmes Gaṅgā water and fully endowed with Divine
Nectar. This is a simplified version of consecrating viśeṣa arghya druing navāvaraṇa pūjā.
IV. Śrī Mahāgaṇapati pūjā:
Now if one has Mahāgaṇapati yantra that should be placed in the vessel in which tarpaṇa-s will
be done. It would be ideal to place the yantra on a pīṭha (possibly a wooden plank or something
like this). If yantra is available, then after placing the yantra as above, turmeric Gaṇapati can be
placed on beetel leaf and then placed on this yantra. If there is Mahāgaṇapati idol is available, it
should be used instead of turmeric Gaṇapati. If none of them are available, Mahāgaṇapati yantra,
which is shown here can be drawn on the vessel where tarpaṇa-s are offered.
The follwoing is not detailed invocation as done in regular prāṇapratiṣṭhā. This is simple
invocation using dhyāna verse and nyāsa-s as used in japa procedure, which is given below.

V. Śrī Mahāgaṇapati Chaturavritti tarpaṇam:
a. Understanding tarpaṇa-s:
This is how we derive 28 bījākṣara-s. While doing tarpaṇa, bindu is added to all the bījākṣara-s.
For example, let us take the seventh bījākṣara, which is ग (ga). If a bindu is placed on the top of
the bījā, then ग (ga) becomes गं (gaṁ). This is given in the tarpaṇa mantras below. For each bījā
four tarpaṇa-s are done and this is followed by four tarpaṇa-s of mūlamatra. It is also important
to note that all tarpaṇa-s for 28 bījākṣara-s should done by suffixing स्वाहा। महागणपवतं तपव यावम॥
svāhā | mahāgaṇapatiṁ tarpayāmi || Similalry the first four bījākṣara-s of mūlamatra are to to be
suffixed to each bījākṣara tarpaṇa. The first four bījākṣara-s are ॐ श्रं ह्रं क्रं (om śrīṁ hrīṁ
klīṁ).
b. 444 tarpaṇa-s:
