Ganapathy Tarpanam

Ganapathy 444 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.

--------------------

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.
