Oil Gazing (Much holistic and deeper than modern Light Therapy)

This process is usually undertaken to remove obstacles with long history. Follow the instructions for lamp lighting. Light the sesame oil lamp with five wicks in the morning. Pour only enough oil to burn for 5 minutes, rest of the space in lamp is needed for pouring oil after oil gazing.

Take a small metal plate (copper, silver or steel plate) can be circular ( 4 to 6 inch diameter) or square ( 4 to 6 inches in length). Pour some sesame oil, just enough to coat the plate as a thin film. Look into the oil in the plate as if seeing mirror image of face in the oil film for 3 minutes. Feel all the negative vibrations, thoughts, energy being absorbed by the oil. Then pour the oil to the lamp to burn out the oil.

Clean the plate with soap and water for next day use.

Things needed

1. Small Bowl (2 to 3 OZ capacity) - metal or mud (to bear heat).
2. Camphor and or used oil lamp wicks
3.  A  metal spoon
4. Dry Coconut pieces or even coconut flakes
5. Ghee

10. Fire Lighter

Step 1: This can be done in a pooja room or living room (but beware of smoke) or can be also performed outside or in a corner of the garage.

Time taken: Pre-Preparation - 1 minute

Homa- 3 to 4 minutes

Total Time 5 minutes.

Pre-Preparation:

Take one spoon of ghee in the small cup (#VIII) and warm it directly on the stove for 5 to 10 seconds.  By the time it melts and the cup becomes bearable to hold, get the altar ready. 

Keep the bowl (#1) on the brick or stone platform (# VII) and place in it a piece of camphor or used oil soaked lamp wicks.This now becomes the altar to perform the Homa /Havan/ Yagna.

Get ready with a small amount of water in the cup (# IX) and place it near the altar.

Now you add half or one teaspoon of coconut flakes to the melted ghee and mix with the same spoon in the small cup (#VIII).

Now you are ready for the Homa.

Ganesha or Ganapathy Homa

Step 1: Place the ghee bowl in front of the altar and take the cup of water. Pray that the water is Holy (Awareness of the Self) which purifes (gives Awareness of Self) all the contents of the Pooja. Then sprinkle a few drop of water  on yourself and the altar and the other pooja items (In advanced level you can chant a mantra for this act).

vara varada sarva janamme vashamaanaaya swaaha".

Step 4: Do the chanting minimum 11 times. Keep a small amount of ghee with coconut flakes in the spoon while chanting and when you chant "Swaha", offer to fire. The mediator (agent) of the offering to fire is done by Agni's wife Swaha (Wife means the Energy). She relays to the destined Lord.

Feel that Lord Ganesha is accepting your offering happily. Repeat this 11 times.

Kanakadhara Shothram

kanakadhara shothram chanting is believed to shower gold or wealth in one's life. Many times the belief does out to be disappointing because the results come in different degrees to the devotees. Why this sloka chanting does not give equally prosperity to all?.

Wealth is energy and energy cannot be created from nothing, it can only be transformed from another energy form. Sacrifice is a form to transform energy from one form to another. Practically doing sacrifice is known as "Thyaga" and when done technologically it is known as "Yagyna".

To understand this one has to analyze logically the history behind the creation of this sloka by Adi Sankara. When he was young he took alms from different houses for daily meal. To give alms (Dhaana) is considered meritorious  because through giving donation (food  or money forms of energy), one can transform it into luck-prosperity or SAL Energy.

One day Sankara reached the house of a poor lady for Biksha (Alms). She was very poor and short of clothing and food. She had no food left to give to Sankara but only had one pickled gooseberry in her kitchen.   Sankara saw the highest  sacrificial act  and felt that the highest Dhaana or sacrifice is not in "giving what one has, but in giving whatever one has". 

He saw that she has transformed her compassion filled sacrificial act into eight form of SAL Energy or Ashta-Lakshmi's.  He sang the Kanakadhara sloka immediately praising the Energy (Lakshmi) and her husband Vishnu (Consciousness). The romantic love between them is the symbolic  connection of God Consciousness and functional Energy.

To this Sankara’s song, Goddess Lakshmi poured golden amalaka fruits into the poor lady's courtyard. Important point:  To not all people who gave alms, Sankara chanted Kanakdhara and rained gold in their house. Only to this lady who did a sacrifice, the luck-energy manifested as wealth.  

It is a superstition (violation of natural law) to think that without doing any action, one can generate any Energy (luck, prosperity, wealth etc) in life.

The message for us is that this song when chanted will create that awareness and compassion in us to do sacrificial acts and create luck, prosperity in life.

If one does only chanting, then the small amount of "Time-Energy" and mind focusing energy is transformed to equivalent luck energy.

If one does a lot of charity work, donations to create more awareness in the society, then one transforms more luck energy in life.

We have to understand that not all could be totally selfless like the poor-lady, and so will get only accordingly the merits of our actions.

Sloka line 17 says "Seva Kasya Sakala Artha Sampathaha". 

This means only through Seva (Selfless work), we can attain propserity (Sampathaha)  to fulfill all (Sakala) artha (desires). 

To chant the Kanakadhara sloka click this  Angam hare pulaka .

The implied meaning of the sloka.

Anggam  Hari, Pulaka  Bhooshanam   Aashrayantee

Bhringa  Angana  eva,  Mukula  aabharanam Tamaalam  

Anggee  Krita  Akhila,  Vibhootir  apaanga  Leela

Maangalya  Daa  Astu, Mama Mangala  Devataayaha

To the Consciousness (Vishnu- Hari) who shelters (Aashrayam) unconditional happiness (Pulakam),
you are the very decorative (Bhooshanam) Goddess Maha-Lakshmi (Mangala Devata or Devata of eight forms of Energy), the dark-core (bringa) soul  (mukula) of him. 

OH Mother, who move around (Angana) playfully (Leela) and create the whole (Akila) universe with the abundance (vibhutir) of your own Self-body (Angee), Wont you also then grant  (Astu)  that Prosperity-SAL Energy (Maangalaya) to me too (Mama)?
