PRANAYAMA: BREATH CONTROL

CHANT THIS MANTRA AND START PRANAYAAM:
OM PRANAVASYA PARAMBRAMHA RISHIHI PARAMATMAA DEVATHA;

DAIVI GAYATHRI CHANDAHA PRANAYAME VINIYOGAHA
(This mantra refers to the fact that OM mantra represents the supreme spirit Bramha; Gayathri mantra is in
Gayathri metre. Gayathri mantra was authored by sage Vishvamitra)
STAGE 1:CLOSE THE RIGHT NOSTRIL WITH THE THUMB. INHALE DEEPLY THROUGH YOUR
LEFT NOSTRIL WHILE CHANTING OM ONCE, VERY SLOWLY. THIS IS CALLED POORAKA-
FILLING AIR TO LUNGS, THROUGH INHALATION.
CLOSE BOTH NOSTRILS AND HOLD BREATH AND CHANT OM MENTALLY ONCE. THIS IS
CALLED KUMBHAKA.
NOW, EXHALE THROUGH THE RIGHT NOSTRIL SLOWLY WHILE CHANTING OM ONCE. THIS IS
CALLED RECHAKA.
STAGE 2: CLOSE YOUR LEFT NOSTRIL WITH YOUR THUMB. INHALE DEEPLY THROUGH THE
RIGHT NOSTRIL, CHANTING OM MENTALLY, VERY SLOWLY. CLOSE BOTH NOSTRILS AND CHANT
OM SLOWLY. NOW EHHALE THROUGH LEFT NOSTRIL SLOWLY, WHILE CHANTING OM
MENTALLY.
AS YOU PROGRESS, CHANT OM ONCE FOR POORAKA AND RECHAKA AND THREE TIMES FOR
KUMBHAKA (THAT IS, WHILE HOLDING BREATH).
NOTE: IF HOLDING BREATH CAUSES ANY PROBLEMS, SIMPLY INHALE AND EXHALE SLOWLY
WHILE MENTALLY CHANTING OM, AND DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH.
THIS PROCESS OF BREATH CONTROL IS A GREAT METHOD TO CALM YOUR MIND. IT
PREPARES US FOR MEDITATION, STUDIES ETC. IF YOU HAVE ANY HEART PROBLEMS,
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE DOING PRAANAAYAM.
CHANTING GAYATHRI MANTRA, AFTER PRANAYAAM::

Meaning:
OM Also called Pranava, signifies the Supreme Spirit

OM BHUH God who pervades the Earth ( the physical or gross plane)
OM BHUVAH God who pervades the Heaven (the subtle plane)
OM SUVAH God who pervades the worlds in between the Earth and the Heaven ( the potential or
causal planes), listed here up to OM SATYAM
OM MAHAH GOD WHO IS MAGNIFICENT
See above
OM JANAH GOD WHO HAS NO BIRTH
OM TAPAH GOD WHO IS THE LIGHT OF WISDOM
OM SATYAM GOD WHO IS TRUTH
OM TAT That eternal god, That God, which was eulogized extensively in the Vedas (the
infinite intelligent Being who is the cause of the Universe)
SAVITUH Of the creator and protector (also of the Sun)
VARENYAM Most worthy of praise, reverence, and worship
BHARGO The light (of the Creator); Consciousness; Knowledge (also the light of the orb of the
Sun)
DEVASYA Of the self-effulgent one (also of the Deity, Sun)
DHEEMAHI We meditate
DHIYO The intellect

YO Which; who (refers to Bhargo, the Light)
NAHA Our (connects to Dhiyo, intellect)

PRACHODAYAAT Stimulate, enlighten, inspire, lead towards the Ultimate
We meditate upon the Spiritual effulgence of that venerable Supreme Divine Spirit, who
creates and sustains everything in the Universe (the three phenomenal world planes – the gross,
the subtle, and the potential). May that Supreme Divine Being stimulate our intellect and
energize our consciousness.
Note: The Sun Deity is a symbol of the Supreme Divine Spirit when the meaning “Sun” is assigned to
Savituh.
Gayathri Mantra is considered the best and the most important prayer since it is not directed to obtain any
material possessions but to inspire us to pursue the pure life- pure in thought, word and deed.

GANAPATHY AAVAAHANA: INVOKING THE LORD
ESSENCE OF POOJA: The Lord is the most honored guest. We offer him a nice seat, praise
him; we offer soft drinks, sweets, fruits, flowers, we ask him to take bath and offer nice clothes;
we sing in praise of Him; we offer him a nice rich meal; we provide him a nice comfortable
facility to sleep. We request him to bless us and fulfill all our wishes. At the end, we offer arathy
which is another request to bless every one. The light of the arathy represents knowledge, which
drives out darkness or ignorance. Whatever is offered to Him is shared with others as Prasad, a
symbol of sharing and caring . When you offer every thing to God, you feel that every thing that
you receive comes from God. You feel that God is great and we all should surrender to Him
without whose will, nothing can happen. All the steps in Pooja such as Invocation,
Shodashopachara, offering various things are summarized in the following procedures:
OM GANANAM TVA SHAUNAKO GRHITSAMADO GANAPATHIR JAGATHI

blesses us with longevity and intellectual brilliance. Any noble act we do will take us to Him.
AFTER THIS, YOU CAN OFFER SOME FLOWERS TO GOD.
PRADAKSHINA NAMASKAARAM:
This is a procedure whereby all devotees go round either the temple or around themselves
clockwise about three times and bow down to God, lying down on the floor, with both arms
stretched towards God’s idol, and both legs stretched down. This is the posture of complete
surrender to the Lord. The procedure of going round the temple symbolizes that God is at the
center of every thing and we are all drawn towards the center.
PUNAH POOJA (THE FINAL POOJA ASKING GOD’S FORGIVENESS FOR MISTAKES
DONE, IF ANY, DURING POOJA)
After the Pooja and offering are over, we pray to God as follows:
Oh Lord, during the Pooja, meditation, or recital of mantras or other acts, I might have made
mistakes. Please pardon me. Please be pleased. I will recite your name three times and seek your
pardon and blessings (as per below):

BHARGO DEVASYA DHEEMAHI|
DHIYO YO NAH PRACHO DHAYÃT||
We meditate upon the glorious splendor of the Divine, the supreme spirit.
May He inspire us; may He illumine our minds.
(Rgveda 3.62.10)
Gayatri is the embodiment of all forms of Godhead- "Sarva Devatha Swaroopam." Gayatri does
not belong to any caste, to any sect or to any religion as such. It is universal in its scope, since it
is the supreme spirit.
PLEASE REFER TO THE DETAILED MAEANING OF GAYATHRI MANTRA , PROVIDED IN THE
PREVIOUS SECTION.
Gayatri has nine important attributes. These are:
1. Aum : Sound as the basis of Creation, Brahman
2. Bhuh : The Earth, the gross.
3. Bhuvah : The Atmosphere, the Ether, the Subtle.
4. Suvah : Heaven, the region beyond Bhuvah, the Causal.
5. Tat : Stands for That. The Ultimate Reality is simply referred to as Tat because it
defies description through speech or language.
6. Savituh : Stands for the Divine Spirit (also the SUN), equated with the vivifying
power contained within the Sun.
7. Varenyum: Adorable
8. Bhargo : Radiance, Lustre, Illumination
9. Devasya : Divine Radiance or Grace.
"Dheemahi" signifies worship of or meditation on the Lord. "Dhiyo Yo Nah Prachodayat" as the
last syllable, is a prayer. Therefore, in the Gayatri, there is Varnam, Dhyanam and Praarthana
(description, meditation and a prayer) - these aspects converge in the Mantra. Also note that
originally, Gayathri mantra was also known as Savithri mantra, and was taught by Sage
Vishvamitra. The meter of this mantra was set in Gayathri. Meter is known as Chandas.
SILENT MEDITATION
THE OM MEDITATION AND GAYATHRI MEDITATION SHOULD HAVE HELPED US
TO CALM OUR MINDS BY NOW. YOU CAN ALSO DO BOTH OM AND GAYATHRI
MEDITATION SILENTLY. HOWEVER, WE HAVE USED THEM HERE FOR GROUP
MEDITATION BY CHANTING OM AND GAYATHRI IN A GROUP. WE NOW SIT IN A
RELAXED POSITION, PREFERABLY KEEPING THE BACK STRAIGHT, AND QUIETLY
REPEAT A CHOSEN MANTRA, MENTALLY. THIS MANTRA CAN BE ANY THING
SUCH AS OM, OM NAMASHIVAAYA, OM NAMO NARAYANAYA… ETC. REPITITION
OF THE CHOSEN MANTRA WILL HELP OUR MIND TO FOCUS ON GOD. IF MIND
STARTS THINKING ABOUT VARIOUS THINGS, DON’T FIGHT IT BUT KEEP
REPEATING THE CHOSEN MANTRA AND YOUR MIND WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO
FOCUS ON GOD. THE LONGER THE DURATION OF MEDITATION, THE EASIER IT
BECOMES TO FOCUS ON GOD. DO NOT CONCENTRATE ON ANY THING OR ANY
PART OF THE BODY- RELAX. SO PRACTICE MEDITATION, SITTING IN A QUIET
PLACE, SITTING ON A CHAIR, COUCH OR FLOOR. KEEP YOUR STOMACH LIGHT SO
THAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE. DON’T LIE DOWN SINCE YOU MAY FALL ASLEEP
EASILY.
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU ALL CHOOSE OM AS THE
MANTRA TO MEDITATE. REPEAT OM MENTALLY, VERY SLOWLY AND TRY TO
FEEL THAT THE LORD IS SAT CHIT ANANDA, EXISTENCE, CONSCIOUSNESS AND
BLISS. FEEL HAPPY; FEEL THAT THERE IS DIVINE LIGHT EVERYWHERE, AND
RELAX.

Prana stands for the five physiological functions, starting with respiration etc., and the
five organs of action (hands, legs, tongue, Anus, and genitals). The five functions are
Prana: Respiration
Vyaana: Circulation
Apaana: Elimination; excretion
Samaana: Digestion; assimilation
Udaana: The final upward breath (at the time of death); things which are thrown out,
like tears, vomit, and seed
Swaaha: offering to God
So Pranaaya swaha, Apanaaya Swaha, Vyanaaya Swaha, Samaanaaya Swaha, udaanaya

swaha means:
We are offering all Naivedya items to God in a physical form, who has all these physiological
attributes ( just like us).
