How to perform Swarna Gowri Vrata - FAQ NVR

09

FAQ of Swarna Gowri Pooja: Disclaimer: Procedures vary from region to region and vary from paddathi to paddati. It is best to consult elders at Home to know about your paddathi . What ever we have tried to Answer here is as I have seen at my home (we are Hindu-BrahminSmartha -Mulakanadu)

1. What direction should the God face: Pl. keep the god facing East – Best Option Or North – Medium Option. Please note that God can be kept facing any in Direction………. “Daivataha : Sarvato mukhaha”….(that means, Gods are facing all directions)……as far as possible, keep god facing in such a way that, as soon as somebody enters the house, they are able to see the god directly… it is your convenience….. How ever, You must face to the East or North while sitting for pooja and sankalpa that is important. 2. What direction we should sit for pooja: Pl. sit facing East or North Direction. 3. Can I Start the pooja in Raahu Kaala: Pl. Note that the Raahu Kaala is followed only for Journy purpose and starting any big events. But it is not followed for daily events and periodical rituals. This is a periodical ritual (Varshe, Varshe kartavya: …. That means every year ritual….).. so in my opinion, you need not see rahukaala to observe his vratha. Shara---- Pl. look at rahu kaala if this is first year of your pooja (newly married first timers) 4. When do I take Mangala Snaana: People who are all doing pooja… sumangalis and the children should take mangala snaana on the previous day of the pooja…. That is on Bidige(2nd day of the lunar Month) …. On the pooja day (triteeya), you should take normal bath… 5. How many Threads should be kept for pooja: It depends on how many people are sitting for pooja. Normally Minimum of two threads are to be made……... Suppose, two of you are sitting, then two is enough. If three of you are sitting keep 4 like that. 6. Each Daara should be of how many threads, and how many Gantus.(Knots): the Shastra says, Shodasha Granthi Sanyuktam, Krutam Shodasha Tantubihi…. That means, it should be made of 16 threads and 16 gantus. But Normally, you take single thread hasi daarada unde, make five folds of daara with a length of about little more than a mola and put 16 gantus. Take one Shavantige hoova and tie it at the center of the daara. You need to soak the daara with arishina.. keep it on viledele (2) and adike(2) and dakshine, keep it in a small plate and place it on to the right side of the Devi and do Pooja. 7. What is the procedure to tie this daara(Doora Granthi): Normally, after the pooja, if Husband is around, (with Panche and shalya), He will tie this. Give this Daara to him. You keep one taambula with a fruit and dakshine in Both of your hands…….. taambula facing Husband… you facing North or East…and Sit. Husband will show/touch this daara first to right hand, and later left hand (at the place where you tie watch)……like this for three times and finally tie the daara with three knots on to your right hand. After that, he will put arishina and kumkuma to the knots. You will keep the taambula down,… get up and give him akshaate and do namaskaara.
