Description

 

The Panchayatana is a system which consists of

the worship of five deities:

“Adityam Ambikaam Vishnum Gananaatam Maheswaram”

 

Aditya is Surya; Ambika is Devi; Vishnu is

Narayana; Gananaatham is Ganesha, Mahesvara is shiva.

 

These five are the great divine force whom every householder worships as pancha devata puja.

 

Based on the tradition

followed by the family, one of these deities is kept in the center and the other four surround it and worship is offered to all the deities.

 

Shaiva   – with Shiva as the Presiding deity

Vaishnava  – with Vishnu as the Presiding deity

Shaktha  – with Devi as the Presiding deity

Ganapatya  – with Ganesha as the Presiding deity

SoWra  – with Surya (planets) as the Presiding deity

 

Deva Puja and Archana is one of the most important duties imposed by the Shastras. The Shastras are filled with details of the Panchayatana puja details and AdhiShankra prescribed us to follow it without fail..

 

The panchayatana scheme represent the five elements:

The shila of that particular devata is kept in the centre, surrounded by the other gods.

If he is a devotee of Lord shiva, a lingam is placed in the middle with the other images around it. If he is a devotee of Suryanarayana, he has a sphatika as the central object of worship.

I can surely say – till panchayatana puja was strictly followed in our country we were really flourishing. Though the technical advancements were not present people were peaceful, satisfied and happy.

 

Panchayatana Puja is a systematic procedure which involves physical and mental discipline, requires inner and outer cleanliness. This – when done systematically will surely bring the progress in the material world and the final truth – awareness of the true Self. By following it, one obtains the Lord’s Anugraha, without which liberation is not possible.
