| In
order to assure ourselves that any and all evil tendencies are
removed from the worship room, we start with a prayer to Shiva whose
very invocation is believed to clear out any troubling vibrations.
Om namah pranavaarththaaya shuddha jnaanaika moorthaye nirmalaaya prashaanthaaya dakshinaa moorthaye namaha I salute the Lord of the Southern direction who is the very embodiment of the sacred symbol Om and of pure knowledge and eternal peace. At this point someone familiar with the proper intonations of that powerful bhajan Brahmamuraarisuraarchita lingam, could lead the assembled. Next we need to invoke and invite the sacred rivers to fill the metallic vessel. This water is used to cleanse and offer throughout the worship. Start pouring water from one vessel into the smaller one as you chantgangecha yamunechaiva godaavari saraswati narmadaa sindhu kaaveri jalehsmin sannidhim kuru |
