Foreword

There has been a long time need to know the details of performing Sahasra Shiva Lingarchana especially to those who have no ready access to the Procedure and the Text of Relevant Mantras. Having condensed the Maha Linga Purana in English-besides Shiva-Skanda-Markandeya and several other Puranas -which had all been blessed by HH Vijayendra Saraswati of Kanchi Mutt as included in the website of kamakoti.org/news/Articles Section- the task of trasliterating the relevant Mantras involved and a suggestive outline of the Vidhana of the Sahasra Lingarchana is attempted by actually performing it and trying to understand the methodology. Indeed, the appropriate procedure and text of the Mantras originally in Sanskrit as transliterated into English may not be effective enough especially from the view point of pronounciation, intonation and rendition but may somewhat serve the purpose of general guidance. Hopefully, an idea of what Lingarchana is all about would inspire several Devotees to perform and accomplish their Purusharthas. Annexures to this Book-let provide Sanskrit versions of Maha Nyasa and Namaka-Chamaka for reference. I am grateful to HH Vijayendra Saraswati Swami to have influenced me to turn a new leaf of my spiritual part life.

He is the complete knowledge of what existed before and what would happen ahead. He is the only one who could bestow the State of Bliss far from the cycle of deaths and births since he is aloof from fictitious existence. Whatever is appearing in the Universe is all his magnificence but He is far more superior; only a quarter of the known Universe is stated to exist and the remainder is beyond it. It is in this existence that He is present all over. That Original Energy called Bhagavan who created the Brahmanda also materialised Brahma who in turn was responsible for the creation of Bhumi and other Worlds and various Beings including Devas and human beings. Devas performed Sacrifices/ Yagnas and made possible the production of Time and Six Seasons or Ritus each Year: Vasanta as 26

the Offering of Ghee , Greeshma as the offering of Wood and Sharat Kaala as Naivedya. As a followup to this Yagna, Pancha Bhutas or the Basic Five Elements as also Light and Darkness / Day and Night as Kaala Maana or the Time-measurement got created as the boundaries of the Homa Kunda as the Existence. Then twenyone Tatwaas viz.Five Elements; Five Jnaanendriayas of the abilities of hearing, tasting, eating, touching; Five Karmendriyas of Eyes, Nose, Tongue, Mouth, Skin-Five Ahankaaras of Consciousness, Buddhi, Trigunas and Mind besides Praana were materialised as other Samidhas; Brahma Himself became as the Homa Pashu or the Animal to this Unique Yagna! He was also the Yagna Purusha. After prokshana/ sprinkling water in the Homa Kunda in which Brahma was the Yagna Purusha, Deva-Saadhya-Rishis and others resumed the Yagna and then were materialised curd and ghee mix. Brahma too resumed his task of Creation and materialised birds, animals like deer, tigers, and domestic animals too. In this Original Yagna of the Universe, Richas or the Stanzas of Rig Veda, Saama Veda Mantras, Chandas or Prosodies like Gayatri [with Six Aksharas / Letters, Ushni Seven Letters, Anushtup with Eight Letters, Brihati with nine Letters, Pankti in ten Letters, Tushtup with eleven Lerrers and Jagati with twelve Letters] besides Yajur Veda too got manifested. From the Yagna Kunda itself, Brahma created animals with two lined teeth, like horses, sheep, buffalos etc. Thgen there would be the query as to what all the countenances that Brahma assumed when he created various Varnas or Complexions; who were all among the human species that were materialised when he produced them from his own body parts! The reply would be that his face created Brahmanas, hands created Kshatriyas, thighs materialised Vaishyas and feet produced other categories. From His mind and thoughts emerged Chandra; Surya Deva from His eyes; from His were created Indra and Agni, while Vayu Deva emerged from His Praana or Life Energy itself! His navel was manifested the Antariksha or the Sky; Swarga sprang up from His own Head; Bhumi from His feet; the Dasha Dishas or Ten Directions of North-East-South-West besides the Sub-Directions and Sky as also the Worlds Below. Hence the Process of Creation by that Unique Paramatma or the Supreme Soul who is immencely Action-Oriented, Splendid, Most Powerful, Ever Lustrious like several Suryas and Blissful etrenally forsaking darkness and gloom!)

When Devatas worshipped Him with veneration by executingYagjnas, then the Principles of Dharma and Nyaaya or Virtue and Nyaya were materialised. In the early series of Yagjnas that were performed by Devas and Sadhyas, the Learned Rishis and Dharma Practitioners were able to accomplish Higher Lokas. It 27

was from the Essence of Earth and Water that the World comprising Fourteen Bhuvanas got materialised by Bhagavan , Brahma arranged and ship-shaped the Universe. It is that Pradhaana Purusha who is distinguished as brilliant with the lustre of Surya and as the Destroyer of darkness is glorious indeed. He is the Singular Supreme that is approachable by any body for Mukti. He is Unborn, Perpetual, Action Oriented and manifests Himself in endless Forms. Marichi and such other Maharshis who were fully conversant with what Paramatma was all about were ever anxious to reach the Ultimate Destination of His. So do the highly virtuous and intense practitioners of Dharma and serious Meditators seek that State of Bliss! Devas reiterated again and again that the distinguished Seekers of Paramatma enjoy the control of all the Devas too. The Embodiment of Modesty Hreem Devi and Lakshmi the Symbol of Opulence are both Bhagavans close companions day and night by His two sides. Mahatma! Nakshtras on the firmament constitute your magnficent Physique and Ashwini Devas are signified with your glorious countenance. Devadhi Deva! Do fulfill our material desires and aspirations as well as bestow Etrernal Bliss on the termination of our worthwhile lives, full of our proven faith in Dharma and devotion unto Supreme Yourself !).
