Udakasanthi Procedure: Step-by-Step Vidhanam
Udakasanthi Procedure
The step-by-step Udaka Shanti vidhanam — from the kalasha sthapana and Varuna avahanam to the parayanam and the purifying sprinkling.
Preparation
A clean, sanctified space is prepared with the kalasham (a sacred water vessel) at its centre, adorned with mango leaves, coconut, turmeric and kumkum. Karishye’s purohit brings the prescribed samagri and confirms the muhurtham.
How Udakasanthi is performed
Sankalpa & Ganapati Puja
A vow stating the family and purpose, and worship of Lord Ganesha to begin without obstacles.
Kalasha Sthapana
The kalasham is installed and the waters of the sacred rivers are invoked into it.
Varuna Avahanam
Varuna, the Lord of Waters, is invoked into the kalasham along with the devas.
Udaka Shanti Parayanam
The Udaka Shanti mantras of the Yajurveda are chanted at length to charge the water.
Dhoopa, Deepa & Naivedyam
Incense, lamp and offerings are made to the sanctified kalasham.
Prokshanam (sprinkling)
The shanti udaka is sprinkled on the family and through every room of the home.
Aashirvachanam
The purohit offers blessings and prasadam to all present.
How long it takes
Udakasanthi usually takes about 2 to 3 hours, as the parayanam of the Udaka Shanti mantras is extensive. Karishye’s purohit brings everything and times it to the muhurtham.
