Offer each in turn, in the order of the five sacred elements, and receive Her Blessings.

Begin with Kumkum, the offering of earth.

The Blessings Open
Receive Them In Order
  1. Cup The Flame
    The purificatory blessing rests in the flame. Cup your palms over it, and draw them to your eyes. Three times.
  2. Teertham
    The blessing is consecrated in the holy water. Receive, and absorb it.
  3. Prasadam
    What was offered as Naivedyam returns to you on the banana leaf, carrying the blessing. Receive it with gratitude.
  4. Shatagopam
    The holy vessel is placed upon your head, the feet of God upon the worshipper. Bow your head.
  5. Sit
    Remain seated a little while, and let the flow of energy settle. Rise when your heart is full.
The Puja Is Complete. Pranam.
