SHUDDHI (CLEANING)

At this point someone familiar with the proper intonations of that powerful bhajan Brahmamuraarisuraarchitha 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 chant:

gangecha yamunechaiva godaavari saraswati
narmadaa sindhu kaaveri jalehsmin sannidhim kuru

O Ganga, Yamuna, Godaavari, Saraswati, Narmada,
Sindhu and Kaveri waters, please present yourselves in this place
