Procedure to do Pariseshanam

[Guest guest]

Forum,

 

THough many of us might know the procedure, I am posting the

procedure(courtesy:angelfire.com/bhakthimargam) for those who might

want to know.

Our vasu mama can correct if anything wrong.

 

Namaskaram!

Here it goes:

 

The entire practice of Pariseshanam (meals-time-custom) can be

divided into three sections:

1. Aabhojanam

2. Praanahuthi

3. Utharaabhojanam

We will see about how to observe these three steps here.

Aabhojanam:

After sitting for meals, you'll be served with rice and ghee, as per

your Sampradaya. Now take an iota of water in your right hand and

chant Om Bhoorbhuvasuva: and circumambulate the meal-plate(normally

a plantain leaf). Then take an iota of water and chant Sathyam

Thwerthena Parichinchaami (in day) and Rutham Dhwasathyena

Parichinchaami(in night). Circumambulate the meal-plate with this

water. Then take an iota of water(Perumal Theertham) and with your

left hand, slightly lift the meal-plate and take in the Perumal

Theertham. You must chant the manthra Amruthopastharanamasi.

Praanahuthi:

Then using your thumb, middle and ring fingers, take ghee-mixed rice

and swallow it without hitting over the teeth. This process has to

be repeated six times, each time accompanied by a manthra as given

below:

(Prefix each word with Om and suffix each word with Namaha:)

1. Praanaya

2. Abaanaya

3. Vyaanaaya

4. Udhaanaya

5. Samaanaya

6. Brahmanae

Then catch hold of the meal-plate with your right hand, cleanse up

your left hand with Theertham served by someone else.

Utharaabhojanam:

After finishing the meals, as before, take an iota of water(either

by self or served by others) and chant the manthra

Amruthopithanamasi.

This concludes the custom of Parisheshanam.
