Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Dear Tarun, prANa pratiShThA is the process of 'imparting life' into an idol or kalasha or yantra or any other worshipable item prescribed by Vedic and tantrik texts, with respective mantra and tantra prescribed for the deity invited in AvAhana. This process is carried out in every pooja as a part of 16 worship methods (ShoDashopachAra). There are two types of pratiShThA or installation - temporary as in poojas and permanent as in temples. When it is temporary, the worshipper or priest on behalf of worshippers imparts his prANas (prANa, apAna, vyAna, udAna and samAna) through his ucchvAsa and nishvAsa (ihalation and exhalation). This lasts until visarjanA or liberating the prANas at the end of the uttara-pooja (post-pooja worship). Before this, the idol etc, is regarded as SAME as the worshipper and tantrik texts describe that any problem caused to the idol etc., MAY reflect the same on the worshipper in certain cases. When it is permanent installation, procedures are complex and are ruled by the rules of Agama shAstra, the temple archtictural sciences according to the diety being installed. Shiva pan~chayatana(Aditya-ambikA-gaNanAtha-hari-hara) idols follow shaiva Agamas while vaiShNava schools follow pAncharAtra Agama or vaikhAnasa Agama. prANa pratiShTha in a temple needs precious jewels of meaured quantity to be placed in the place beneath the idol; and some times in different parts of the temple. This process should be carried out on special days prescribed astrologically and at special times elected by muhoorta techniques. There are special time selection methods depending on the temples too - like aShTamangala deva prashna technique used in temples of Kerala. an Agamika may give you much more detailed procedures. Hope this helps. yours humbly KAD , ~~Tarun~~ <tarun_vst> wrote: > > hello members, > > do someone have knowledge what is the procedure of establishing a god statue in temple...or what > is PRAN PRATHISTA > > thanks > tarun > > > > ________ > India Matrimony: Find your partner now.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Dear Friends, Statues are usually meant for person and society after recognising their contributions ,errect in public places and are not for worship purpose.where ever worship is allowed and has to be performed always a procedure has to be followed.These procedures have been given inour sastras. Agama Sastra have given descriptive methods for performing rituals.when ever human shape Idols are worshipped for specific purpose pranapratishta forms part of the vidha after proper initiation and sankalpa. In temples when ever vigraha pratishta is to be performed,it incudes very elaborate procedures of placing yantra,dhwajasthbharohna,mahakumbhabhishekam and navagraha yagam. Even prana pratishta is part of pooja vidhan usually and performed through a Priest or Karta for invoking the Gods while perfoming pooja for all most all poojas like Gauri pooja/Vrat, Shri Vinyaka Chaturdhi,Satynarayana pooja and other rituals where in udvasana and visarjana are considered essential to conclude the rituals. krishnan kadrudra <kadrudra wrote: Dear Tarun, prANa pratiShThA is the process of 'imparting life' into an idol or kalasha or yantra or any other worshipable item prescribed by Vedic and tantrik texts, with respective mantra and tantra prescribed for the deity invited in AvAhana.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Dear Tarun, Different texts give different views on doing pooja with idols in grains or cereals. In most of the old texts like Nakshatra ChintaamaNi, what I have seen is that the quantity of the grains used has a relation with the height of the idol installed in it. Mostly, the height of the idol is the line joining the apex of the grain pyramid to the respective manDala base. That is: For Moon, the base of the pyramid is SQUARE(caturasra maNDala), the grain is rice(taNDula); for Sun, the base is circular and grain is wheat etc. The procedure of prANa pratiShThA is same as in any other pooja(temporary installation). In case of grains, the base maNDala and its pyramid or cone, as well as the type of the grain are important. Also, the type of metal used for the idol matters in some cases - like silver for rice and niShpAva(a bean-pea). Even without idols, grains in their prescribed maNDalas are reagarded as GODs and are worshipped as usual. yours humbly KAD , ~~Tarun~~ <tarun_vst> wrote: > > Dear Kadrudra ji, krishnan ji > > thanks for your mail and making me understood the procedure and Avasthas of establishing a gods > idol in temple > > i would like to ask one more question that is there any Avastha of keeping the idol statue in food > grains, so that the grain give the Pran to the statue. > > kindly guide further > > tarun. > --- kadrudra <kadrudra> wrote: > > > > > Dear Tarun, > > > > prANa pratiShThA is the process of 'imparting life' into an idol or kalasha or yantra or any > > other worshipable item prescribed by Vedic and tantrik texts, with respective mantra and tantra > > prescribed for the deity invited in AvAhana.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Dear kadrudra ji, thanks for explaing in beautyful language. actually i was trying to interpretate what actully God is. No one has seen yet. i think so. because as all the cerials have some realtion to planets like wheat(sun), rice ( moon) pulses to someother.. as we lean in front of idol we take energy in the idol which was transferred to it via grains. and thus it help us to get rid of planetry forces which are spoiling ourselves. may be you will find this logic somewhat different but we adopt this as a solution in Vastu Shastra. to keep grains in North side of house thanks Tarun --- kadrudra <kadrudra wrote: > Dear Tarun, > > > Different texts give different views on doing pooja with idols in > grains or cereals.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Dear Tarun ji, As soon as the idol is received,the silpi known assthapati who has carved/made the statue is involved in a very very elaborate process till he hands over the statue to the Yagna Karta for pratishta purpose there are lot of vidhnas and involves,nagaraha pooja,avarana pooja,ganesh pooja and thenyantrasthapana along with precious stone,gold ,silves,navadhanyas etc.The palce particularly place around the inside sanctum sanctorum is cleansed as per Agama Satra procedures and evil forces are guarded carefully through mantras and vedic chantings.In these process each and every part of the idol is worshipped and Natural deities are invoked first before the idol is made ready for pranpratishta.This is the job of Daivagna who plays lead role in pranpratishta. To describe the whole process is very long and one has to read fully well,understand and in vedic chantings the function is carried out for temple purpose in 3days before public are allowed for worship krishnan ~~Tarun~~ <tarun_vst wrote: Dear Kadrudra ji, krishnan ji thanks for your mail and making me understood the procedure and Avasthas of establishing a gods idol in temple i would like to ask one more question that is there any Avastha of keeping the idol statue in food grains, so that the grain give the Pran to the statue. kindly guide further tarun. --- kadrudra <kadrudra wrote: > > Dear Tarun, > > prANa pratiShThA is the process of 'imparting life' into an idol or kalasha or yantra or any > other worshipable item prescribed by Vedic and tantrik texts, with respective mantra and tantra > prescribed for the deity invited in AvAhana.
