Ganapathy Tarpanam

Get up early in the morning and worship the feet of the Guru on top of your head.
Aim Hrim Srim- Aim Klim Souh

Hamsah Shivah Soham- hasakhaphrem
Hasaksha malavarayum hasaum
Sahaksha malavarayeem sahauh
Svarupa nirupana hetave svagurave
Sri Annapurnaamba sahita Shri Amritanandanatha
Sri Guru Sri Padukam Pujayami Tarpayami namaha.
Repeat once more. Imagine that from the feet of the Guru the cool flow of the Ganges water is flowing
over your body.
Now imagine that in the center of your heart there is a shining ball of sun, orange in color rising on the
horizon.
In that visualize the form of Maha Ganapathy, orange in color and imagine that your whole body is filled
with light, the surface of the body is just like a balloon and inside it is the orange light of Ganapathy, and
this glow is coming out of your body too.
Now do your morning oblations and offer a spoon of water to
Maha Ganapathy in the surya (in the sun),
Om Tat Purushaaya Vidmahe Vakratundaaya Dhimahi Tanno Dantih Prachodayaat.
Now finish your morning duties and then sit down facing east and make a pyramid (with a square base)
of turmeric powder in a betel leaf or any leaf.
Invoke Ganapathy into this saying:
Om Tat Purushaaya Vidmahe Vakratundaaya Dhimahe Tanno Dantih Prachodayat.
Apply some kumkum to the centers of four triangle sides of the pyramid.
Now take some pure water and put some tulasi in it. With the leaves of the tulasi do the following 444
tarpanas. This is the Chaturavritti Tarpana.
For each Tarpayami namaha offer a spoon of water on the Ganapathy.
Sit comfortably on the ground. Keep your awareness at the junction or your seat and ground. Keep the
Ganapathy in front of you and the water to your right.

This sloka means: long life, health, wealth, strength, suppleness, fame, creativity and enjoyments
material and spiritual come from 444 tarpanas.
There have been some questions about Ganapathy tarpana.

Here are the answers.
Hope the following will clear your minds.
1. How does the number of tarpanas add up to 444?

12+8x28+8x26=444.
2. Why 444?
We are in Kali yuga, which runs on number 4.
Ganapathy is a pyramid with a square base: East, South, Weest, North; Earth, Water, Fire, Air. Above the
base is the sky= space-time. Point is the unknown origin, sahasrar. It is unknown because there is no
space, no time, no vibrations, no nothing. Like a zero, having no dimensions.
3. Total how many days? 44.

Tarpanas per day? 444.
Japas per day? 444.
Pujas/day? 1.
4. Total how many Pujas? 44.

Ahutis in homa? 2000 (444x44/10)
Feeding poor? 20.
5. On what days should item 4 be done?

Any day or number of day suitable to you. Preferably towards the end.
6. Should we wait for yantra puja to start?
No, start with tarpanas right away. 44 pujas can be finished in the same time.
If not possible, extend it to later time.
Vakratunda Ganesha Yantra Puja
Ganesha Yantra Puja

There are several Ganesha Yantra but Vakratunda Ganesha Yantra is considered the most
significant among all Ganesha Yantra. Vakratunda Ganesha Yantra is worshipped with Om
Vakratundaya Hum Mantra and it is the most popular Shadakshar (षडक्षर) Ganesha Mantra.
This is the detailed ritualistic Puja Vidhi to perform Ganesha Yantra Puja. Ganesha Yantra is
installed at Puja altar and home. It is believed that Lord Ganesha himself resides in the Yantra if
He is invoked with full Vedic rituals during Yantra Prana Pratishtha. Once Yantra is installed with
full Vedic rituals, it is worshipped daily as the personification of Lord Ganesha itself.
1. Yantroddhara (यन्त्रोद्धार)
It is very significant to use correct Yantra for Puja. Without correct Yantra, the purpose of
Yantra worship would not be fulfilled.
Yantra Puja needs Muhurat and should be done on an auspicious day and time. For Ganesha
Yantra Puja, the days of Ganesha Chaturthi and Vinayaka Chaturthi Tithi(s) are considered
auspicious.
Yantra can be drawn on Bhojpatra with red Chandan. However, Yantra made of Gold,
Silver and Copper are mostly used for Puja as those can be kept in Puja room for daily
worship.
A correctly casted Ganesha Yantra would have Bindu i.e. the dot in the central, Shatkona
i.e. a hexagonal concentric with dot, Ashtadala i.e. a lotus flower with eight leaves
concentric with dot and hexagonal. The dot, hexagonal and Ashtadala should be
surrounded by four doors in all four directions. These outer doors are known as Bhupur
Dwar of Yantra.
Avarana Puja is most significant during Yantra worship. During Avarana Puja, Yantra is
worshipped with total 42 Mantras. The number 42 relates to the figures drawn on Yantra.
The first Avarana Puja is dedicated to Shatkona (with 6 Mantra), second Avarana Puja is
dedicated to inner Ashtadala (with 8 Mantra), third Avarana Puja is dedicated to outer
Ashtadala (with 8 Mantra), the fourth Avarana Puja is dedicated to 10 directions (with 10
Mantra) and the fifth Avarana Puja is dedicated to protector of 10 directions (with 10
Mantra).
Hence, 6 + 8 + 8 + 10 + 10 makes 42 which is the total number of Mantra chanted during

Avarana Puja. Sometimes, Ganesha Yantra is numbered from 1 to 42 to make Puja easy.
However these numbers are drawn for academic purpose only and can be avoided on
Yantra.
2. Yantra Pujanam (यन्त्र पूजनम्)
Before staring Yantra Puja, it is mandatory to perform Japam depending on the Mantra of
the deity associated with the Yantra. Vakratunda Yantra is worshipped with Om
Vakratundaya Hum Mantra. As "Om Vakratundaya Hum" is Shadakshar (षडक्षर) Mantra,
it should be chanted six Lakh (i.e. 6,000,00) times before starting Yantra Puja.
If Mantra Japam is done along with Hawan while offering Aahuti after each Mantra then
it increases the effectiveness of Japam manifolds.
Frist of all, the statue of Lord Ganesha should be given bath and after adorning it with new
clothes should be kept in middle of the Yantra. Before beginning Yantra Avarana Puja, one
should seek the permission while chanting following Mantra.
For that one should take flowers in hand and chant following Mantra –
Om Sachinmayah Paro Devah Paramritarasapriyah।

Anugyam Dehi Ganapa Pariwararchanaya Me॥
Pushpanjalimadaya।
3. Peethashakti Pujanam (पीठशक्ति पूजनम्)

After seeking permission to begin Puja, one should worship nine Peetha Shakti of Lord
Ganapati.
1. Purve - Om Tivrayai Namah।

2. Agneya - Om Chalinyai Namah।

7. Uttare - Om Tejovatyai Namah।
8. Eshanye - Om Satyayai Namah।
9. Madhye - Om Vighnanashinyai Namah।
4. Avarana Puja (आवरण पू जा)
After Peetha Puja, Avarana Puja should begin. Avarana Puja is the most important part of
Yantra Puja. For Ganesha Yantra, total five Avarana Puja are performed.
During each Avarana Puja, Yantra should be worshiped with Akshata, flower, Dhoop,
Deep and Gandha while chanting each Mantra. Tarpan should be done along with each
Mantra.

Śrī Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati Yantra Āvaraṇa Pūja
Prologue :-
All tantra sādhanas involve the worship of the deity, through the form of a yantra (maṇḍala). The
yantras are sacred geometric diagrams, that are deemed to represent the japa sādhana deity, at the
very centre, covered by other deities. The coverings or āvaraṇas, are usually at the corners or
centres, of intersecting geometric figures.
The pīṭha and āvaraṇa pūjas are performed during the mantra japa, after the dhyāna verse. The
pūjas are for worshipping the yantra of śrī ucchiṣṭa gaṇapati, to bestow His grace on the mantra
japa and sādhana. Pīṭha represents the table or stool, upon which the yantra is placed. Usually,
the yantra is placed on a red or yellow cloth.
It is very important to note, that the directions mentioned on yantras related to tantra sādhana, are
not necessarily the same as their geographical equivalents. In tantra, the directions for deities,
can be different from the geographical notation and it also varies by the gender of the deity. In
general, For male deities, the East direction is the geophraphical South and for female deities, it’s
the geographical North. For śrī vidyā related deities, the East is usually on the geographical
north.
The direction of East is where South should be in the yantra of śrī ucchiṣṭa gaṇapati, for
worshipping the śaktis. Please follow the enumerated corners in the yantra, for each of the
āvaraṇa deities. The pīṭha devatās are not represented on the yantra, since the yantra itself is
placed on the pīṭha.
Before starting the pūja, ensure that you have a brass plate, some water in a jug or a container, as
well as a disposable container for the water. Another viśeṣa arghya vessel (water container)
should also be kept ready for the tarpaṇa. Keep some flower petals, kumkum (red powder),
clarified butter or ghee, a clean cloth and some unbroken rice or akṣatas ready as well. A spoon
or uttaraṇi, should be handy for the tarpaṇa. This should be done in the similar manner as the śrī
cakra āvaraṇa pūja. The flower petals can be placed from the left hand and the tarpaṇa from the
right hand. Internal worship can also be done by those, who’re unable to perform in a ritualistic
manner.
pīṭha puja ( पीठ पू ज ) :-
Utter the following mantra, to felicitate the pīṭha devatās :-
ॐ मं मन्डूकाद्वद परतत्वान्त पीठ दे वताभ्यो नमः
oṃ maṃ manḍūkādi paratatvānta pīṭha devatābhyo namaḥ
Worship the 9 pīṭha devathās starting from east, in clockwise direction.

श्री महागणपतिक्रमः Śrī Mahāgaṇapatikramaḥ
चिुरावृतििपपणम् 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|| द्ववग्णद्ववनायक 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
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 स्वािा। om gaṁ ātmatatvāya svāhā |
ॐ गं द्ववद्यातत्वाय स्वािा। om gaṁ vidyātatvāya svāhā |
ॐ गं द्वशवतत्वाय स्वािा। om gaṁ śivatatvāya svāhā |
ॐ गं सवचतत्वाय स्वािा॥ 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 श्री ं ह्ी ं क्ीं ग् ं गं गणपतये वरवरद सवचजनं मे वशमानय स्वािा॥
om śrīṁ hrīṁ klīṁ glauṁ gaṁ gaṇapataye varavarada sarvajanaṁ me vaśamānaya svāhā ||
c . Gurupādukā worship:
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.
सदाद्वशवसमारम्ां शंकरार्ायच मध्यमां ।
अस्मदार्ायचपयचन्तं वन्दे 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:
शुक्ां बरधरं द्ववष्णुं शद्वसवणं र्तुभुचजम्।
प्रसन्नवदनं ध्यायेत् सवचद्ववग्नोप शान्तये॥
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.

* This saṁkalapa covers every thing that we aspire for. According to this saṁkalapa, we seek 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.
ब्रह्माण्डोदरतीतीद्वन करै ः स्पृ ष्टाद्वन ते स्वे।
तेन स्त्येन मे दे व तीथाच दे द्वि द्वदवाकरे ॥
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.
आवियाद्वम त्वां दे द्वव तपचणायेि सुन्दरर।
एद्वि गङ्गे नमस्तुभ्यं सवचतीथच समक्तन्वते॥
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 ह्ी ं ि्वूं ह्ैं ह् ं ह्ः hvāṁ hvīṁ hvūṁ hvaiṁ hvauṁ hvaḥ
(These bījākṣara-s lead to the expansion and kindling of amṛta bījā, which is recited next)
After reciting the above bījākṣara-s, recite वं 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 स्वािा। मिागणपद्वतं तपचयाद्वम॥
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 श्रीं ह्ीं क्ीं (om śrīṁ hrīṁ klīṁ).
