The ShreeMangalchandika prapatti

ll Hari Om ll

The Chandika has a very important role to play in bringing in the Ramrajya. It is Her grace alone that is going to make things possible. With Her grace and with Her grace only Ramrajya is possible.

The upasana of Mata Chandika has the strength and capacity to destroy them all, evil occurrences and evil things.

‘The Shree Chandika Prapatti’. Although fully spiritual in itself, this will make of every man and every woman, a valiant soldier, a valiant human being, a valiant spiritual person. For the women it is going to be ‘The Shreemangalchandika Prapatti’”.

“As part of the procedure, a representation of the site of the Katraaj ashram, the site of Her (Mata Chandika) father’s ashram will be symbolically recreated.

 

 With the small platter (carrying the material for thepoojan) the women will sing the aarti and the eldest among the group will actually do the aarti. We all are familiar with the aarti – ‘Maatey Gayatri sinhaarudha bhagavati…. Ude,ude….’

Holding the small platter in the hand, go round the symbolic representation of the Chandika, i.e. around the site of the Katraaj ashram nine times reciting in a loud voice all along, the Gurukshetram mantra.

 

 

Now offer this pouch in the sacred fire that will be created by lighting camphor and little twigs in a large tray or even in a pit. The fire created in this way is the Mahishasurmardini’s aura of radiant energy.

The Gurukshetram mantra will have already transformed the sacred fire into the aura of radiant energy. All that is evil, all ill will having gone into this aura, your household will have welfare and well being.

After completion of the poojan procedure, recite the mantra “Om Aeem Hreem Kleem Chamundayaee Vichche” 9 times and offer the akshataa (whole rice grains coated with kumkum) at the Feet of the Chandika and offer fragrant flowers to the Trivikram.

 

Apply the kumkum of the Chandika’s Feet to the forehead and if not, to the throat. Do it there and then. The kumkum cannot be carried home for family members. Only those present can apply it.

The fragrant flowers will be offered to the Trivikram.

All the bananas may be put together to make a common Prasad but must be eaten there and then.

The curds however, may be taken home and given to the men of the family. The women are not supposed to eat the curds. If the men at home are away or for some reason not available, offer it at the root of any tree.

The sugarcane is to be carried home and eaten by all the women at home. The sugarcane does not mandatorily have to be eaten on the same day, it may be eaten later but do eat at least a little bit on the day of the prapatti.

The rest of the prapatti poojan material (all except bananas, curds, sugarcane and fragrant flowers) may be used to make sambar and eaten with chapattis or rice by men and women alike. You may add the masala of your choice but do make it a point to add curry leaves for the sake of health and taste of course. But mind you no other vegetable (bhaji) will be prepared on that day. Chapatis and rice will both be eaten with this sambar.

Ladies should take head bath in the morning. However it is not essential to take a bath again in the evening for those ladies who are office goers.

Each Shraddhavan lady doing Prapatti (though they belong to the same household) should have her own Tabak (plate) holding Prapatti Pooja Dravya.

All of this was the ‘Mangalchandika prapatti’ for women. Women who offer this prapatti become the soldiers of the Chandika and become able to protect their family and household and all their dear ones. Her son comes back late from school and the woman is worried, Her son falls in love with a worthless girl, she is worried, her daughter elopes with the wrong person, she is worried. The woman will be able to protect her family and home in such conditions. She will do it, she will no more be helpless, she will not be vulnerable. She will be strong and capable of protecting her household. She will accomplish all of this provided however, that she recites the Gurukshetram mantra regularly and she offers this prapatti on the day of the Sankranti.”
