In this article I will talk about Steps for Nitya Puja in Sanskrit, Bengali and English.

Nitya Puja in Bengali style involves the Puja of 5 Gods - Ganesh, Surya, Durga, Shiva and
Vishnu, in that order.

Even for a general Puja, Panchadevata Puja is an essential step. However prior to the Puja
of the 5 Gods, certain other steps need to executed which I have described below. Once
these are done, one is ready to perform the Puja of the 5 Gods.

1. Achaman & Vishnusmaran

|

|
| ||

Sip water thrice.

Rub mouth twice.
Touch eyes, nostrils, ears, heart, belly button

|
||

|
 ||

Whether pure or impure, in whatever condition one may be, he who meditates on the Lotus
Eyed, becomes cleansed both within and without.

This is the first Step for Nitya Puja.

2. Surya Arghya
Directions: Arghya offering consists of water with druva grass, unhusked rice, sandal paste
and red flowers in a copper kosha. Offer this to the Sun along with the below mantra.

|
|
|

3. Ganeshadi Archana
Take a flower and immerse it in sandal paste and offer it to every one.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Bow down and recite the following mantra.

 |
||

Adored of the three worlds, lord of Sri, ever increasingly victorious, wielder of club,
Narayana please grant us peace.

4. Svasti Vachana
Recite the Svasti Mantras.

| ||
| ||

May Vishnu the powerful, the Ancient of days, vouchsafe us unto prosperity, may Vishnu the
nourisher, the knower of all hearts, give us what is well for us, may Vishnu the lord of swift
motion, the felly whose wheel never wears out, be propitious to us, may Visnu the protector
of great ones, protect us too.

You we invoke, leader of groups, the loved ones lord, lord of treasures, my precious wealth.
Peace, peace, peace!

5. Samanya Arghya
First draw a triangle on the ground on the left side of the size of the Kosha.

Place flower and unhusked rice on the triangle 4 times after reciting each mantra.

|
|
|
|
Place Kosha and Kushi on the ground so sanctified.

6. Jala Shuddhi
Fill Arghya with water and utter. Add druva, unhusked rice, and flower and sandal paste.

Form the Ankusha mudra over the water as below and say the Gange cha mantra.

Then show Dhenu Mudra on water

uttering vaM (in Sanskrit) or baM (in Bengali).

Then say 10 times

Sprinkle the head and Puja ingredients with such water.

7. Bhuta Apasarpanam
Reciting the mantra, scatter some unhusked rice on all sides.


|
||

Let all those elements go away, the Elemental, that dwell on earth; and the elements that
obstacles raise, may they be destroyed by my command.

8. Asana Shuddhi
Place on the asana a flower immersed in sandal paste with the mantra.

Then touching the Asana recite::

! !
!

! ! |
! ||

Then do Namaskar on different side:

Left Side

Right Side

Top:

 |

Middle:
(God)

(debatara nama) |

Reciting these touch the respective sides.

9. Kara Shuddhi
Taking one flower squeeze it with both hands and say:

and throw the flower to the left. Sprinkle water.

Sprinkle remaining flowers with a little water.

10. Pushpa Shuddhi

Touching the flowers recite.

|
||

11. Pranayama

|


 |
|
||

|

The seer is Brahama, the meter is Gayatri and the Devata is Agni.
Of the seven Vyahartis the Rishis are and metres are .. and Devatas are
Of Gayatri the seer is Vishvamitra, the metere is Gayatri and the Devata is Savitri.
Of the Sirasa, the seer is Prajapti, the metre is Gayatri, the Deavatas are Brahma, Agni,
Vayu and Surya and it is employed in Pranayama.

|| || || || || || ||
| ||
||

C. While expelling breath think of Shiva in the forehead and recite (1 miute)

|| || || || || || ||
| ||
||
