It is stated by all our
shastras that by undertaking Narayan worship one may overcome all sorrows in
life. This worship has many forms. Best form is to invoke the Lord Vishnoo with
Purshottam mantra, followed by Shree Narayana Suktam, followed by Shree Sukta,
followed by Vishnoo Sahastranaamavali [1000 names of Vishnoo]. Benefits are
highest especially when such worship is undertaken during the month of
purshottam

Second
step - Cosmic Vastu Pujan:
Nava-Graha Shantih Pujan:
Peace mantra for nine planets/ Navagraha Stotra-Mantra
Navagraha Stotras are
believed to pacify the planets and protect the reciter from the evil effects of
the planets. In Sanskrit, "Nava" means Nine and "Graha"
means planet. Navagraha Stotras are therefore stotras for the nine planets. In
Vedic Astrology, Moon, Rahu and Ketu are considered planets.

Narayan Purrshottam mantra: These mantras
must not be recited with bad intentions and one must purify one’s self before
recital. To purify one must sprinkle ganga jaal in four directions and over the
head and all over the body. Reciting the jaal sudhi mantra of Vishnoo, we let
the water from the kalash upon which the coconut is placed to gently fall over
puja tray. We have not gone at length to elucidate the kalash pujan as this is
very detailed. Those interested can follow the KUMBH PUJAN

Sahasraa sersham
devam viswaasham viswaasambhuvam
viswam naaraayanam devamaksharam pramam padam
This universe is the Eternal Being
(Narayana), the imperishable, the supreme, the goal, multi-headed and
multi-eyed (i.e., omnipresent and omniscient), the resplendent, the source of
delight for he whole universe.
Viswataah
paramam nityam viswam naaraayanam hariim
viswaamevedam purushaastadvisvampajeevati
This universe is the Supreme Being
(Purusha) alone; hence it subsists on That, the Eternal which transcends it (in
every way), -the omnipresent Absolute which destroys all sins.
Patim
viswasyatmeswaram saswatam sivamachyutam naaraayanam mahaajneyam viswaatmanam
paraayanam
The protector of the universe, the Lord
of all Souls (or Lord over Self), the perpetual, the auspicious, the
indestructible, the Goal of all creation, the Supreme object worthy of being
known, the Soul of all beings, the Refuge unfailing (is He).
Naaraayanaa paro
jyotiratma naaraayanaa pariah naaraayanaa param brahmaa tattwam naaraayanaah pariah
naaraayanaa paro dhyaatah dhyaanam naaraayanah pariah
The Lord Narayana is the Supreme
Absolute; Narayana is the Supreme Reality; Narayana is the Supreme Light;
Narayana is the Supreme Self; Narayana is the Supreme Meditator; Narayana is
the Supreme Meditation.
Yachca kinchit jagat sarvam drshyate
srooyatepi va antar bahisca tatsvaram vyapya naaraayanaah sthitah
Whatever all this universe is, -seen or
heard of, -pervading all this from inside and outside alike, stands supreme the
Eternal Divine Being (Narayana).
Anantamavyayam kavim samudrentam viswaa ssambhuvam
padma kosaa praateekssam hrrdayam ccapyadho mukham
He is the Limitless, Imperishable,
Omniscient, residing in the ocean of he heart, the Cause of the happiness of
the universe, the Supreme end of all striving, (manifesting Himself) in the
ether of the heart which is comparable to an inverted bud of the lotus flower.
Adho nishtya vitastyante nabhyaamupari
tishtati jwaalamalaa kulaam bhaati vishwasyayatanam mahat
Below the Adams apple, at a distance of a
span, and above the navel (i.e., the heart which is the relative seat of the
manifestation of Pure Consciousness in the human being), effulges the Great
Abode of the universe, as if adorned with garlands of flames.
Santaatam
silaabhistu lambaatyaa kosaannibham tasyante sushiram sookshman tasmin sarvam
pratishtam
Surrounded on all sides by nerve-currents
(or arteries), suspends the lotus-bud of the heart in an inverted position. It
is in a subtle space (a narrow aperture, the Sushumna-Nadi), and therein is to
be found the Substratum of all things.
Tasyaa madhye mahaanagnir vishwachir
visvato mukha sograabhugvibhajan tishthannahaaraa maajaraah kaavih
In that space within the heart resides
the Great Flaming Fire, undecaying, all-knowing, with tongues spread out in all
directions, with faces turned everywhere, consuming food presented before it,
and assimilating it unto itself.
Triyaa goordhwaa masdhassayee
rasmayaatasyaa santataa santapayati swam deha mapadatalaamaastaagah tasyaa
madhye vahnisikha aaneeyordhwaa vyaavasthithaah
His rays, spreading all around, side ways
as well as above and below, warm up the whole body from head to foot. In the
center of That (Flame) abides the Tongue of Fire as the topmost of all subtle
things. (Note: Due to the attachments and entanglements of the Jiva in worldly
enjoyment and suffering, the Consciousness is enshrouded in potential as well
as expressed objectivity, and hence it appears like a tiny streak of flame
within the dark clouds of ignorance. But when the Jiva rises above worldliness
the Consciousness is realised as he Infinite.)
Neelaatoyaada madhyaasthad vidyullekhavaa
bhaswaraa neevaaraasooka vattanvee peeta bhaswatyanoopama
Brilliant like a streak of lightning set
in the midst of the blue rain-bearing clouds, slender like the awn of a paddy
grain, yellow (like gold) in colour, in subtlety comparable to the minute atom,
(this Tongue of Fire) grows splendid.
Tasyaa sikhayaa madhye paramaatmaa
vyavasthithaah saa brahmaa saa sivaah saa hariih sendraah soksharaah paramah swarat
In the Middle of That Flame, the Supreme
Self dwells. This (Self) is Brahma (the Creator), Siva (the Destroyer), Hari
(the Protector), Indra (the Ruler), the Imperishable, the Absolute, the
Autonomous Being. Prostrations again and again to the Omni-Formed Being, the
Truth, the Law, the Supreme Absolute, the Purusha of blue-decked yellow hue,
the Centralised-Force, Power, the All-Seeing One.
Ritam satyam param brahmaa purusham
krishnaa pingalam
oordhwaaretam viroopaaksham viswaroopaayaa vai namo namah
Prostrations again and again to the
Omni-Formed Being, the Truth, the Law, the Supreme Absolute, the Purusha of
blue-decked yellow hue, the Centralised-Force, Power, the All-Seeing One.
Aum naaraayanayaa vidhmahe vasudevaayaa
dheemahi tanno vishnuh prachodayaat
We commune ourselves with Narayana, and meditate on Vasudeva, may that Vishnu
direct us (to the Great Goal).
Vishnoorrnukam veeryaani pravocham yaah
paarthivaani raajaamsi yo
askabhayaaduttaram sadhastham vichaakramanas tredhorugayo vishnuh
raaratamasi vishnuh syooraasi vishnuh dhruvamsi vaishnavaamasi vishnave tva
Which valor and deed of the all-pervading
Vishnu may I glorify? He has enveloped the earth and he heaven even upto the
minutest dust of creation. Vishnu supports the abode of gods, preventing it
from being shaken from its position. He takes three strides (which may mean the
three strides which Vishnu took in His incarnation as Vamana or the three
strides which the sun is supposed to take in the sky during the day, or he form
Vishnu is supposed to take as Agni, Vayu and Surya) as the most gloriously
euoligised one. O Thou, Instrument of Yajna, who are the front and rear of
Vishnu's form as Yajna, Thou who art its mouth and its connection. Thou art the
firm support. Thou art verily Vishnu. I prostrate myself before Thee.

dynamic poetry of Mata Laxshmee. Learn it. Ashtha-laxshmee stotra is one of the
most powerful Bhavani stotras. Lord Shiva recited it during the Adhik Maasa.

sarvada. 9
Whoever with
devotion reads these eight Hymns of Goddess MahaLakshmi, composed in 8 stanza-
Shalokas or mantras,
attains all sidhis and comforts of a kingdom.
Eka kale Pathen - nityam mahapapa vinashanam, Dvikalam yah Pathen -
nityam Dhan - dhanya saminvatah. 10 Trikalam yah Pathen - nityam mahashatru
vinashanam,
MahaLakshmir - bhaven - nityam prasanna varada subha. 11
Recital of
ashtha-laxshmee stotra releases one from the bondages of karma, sins and
wrongfulness provided one repents and asks for forgiveness. Reciting it again
and again twice more will confer with wealth. Recital thrice will remove all
enmities. Recital five times will bring highest blessings from MAHA laxshmee.
Finally,
recite shantih mantras:
Swasti:
Sarveshaam
poornam bhavatu; Sarveshaam mangalam bhavatu
Sarve bhavantu
sukhinah; Sarve santu niraamayaah
Sarve bhadraani
pashyantu; Maakaschit duhkha bhaag bhavet
Meaning: Auspiciousness (swasti) be unto
all; peace (shanti) be unto all;
fullness (poornam) be unto all; prosperity (mangalam) be unto all. May all be
happy! (sukhinah) May all be free from disabilities! (niraamayaah)
May all look (pashyantu)to the good of
others! May none suffer from sorrow! (duhkha)
Om bhadram
karnebhih shrunuyaama devaah; Bhadram pashyemaakshabhiryajatraah; Sthirairangaistushtuvaamsastanoobhih
Vyashema devahitam yadaayuh; Swasti na indro vridhashravaah
Swasti nah pooshaa vishwavedaah; Swasti nastaarkshyo arishtanemih
Swasti no brihaspatir dadhaatu; Om shantih, shantih, shantih!
Meaning:
Mrityor maa amritam gamaya
Meaning: Lead us from the falsity to
virtue; From darkness to Light
From mortality to Immortality
Aum poornamadah
poornamidam; Poornaat poornamudachyate
Poornasya
poornamaadaya; Poornamevaavashishyate
Meaning: That (pure consciousness) is
full (perfect); this (the manifest universe of matter; of names and forms being
maya) is full. This fullness has been projected from that fullness. When this
fullness merges in that fullness, all that remains is fullness. - Peace
invocation -Isa Upanishad
Sham na indro brihaspatih sham no vishnururukramah
Namo brahmane
namaste vaayo twameva pratyaksham
Brahmaasi twaameva pratyaksham brahma vadishyaami
Tanmaamavatu
tadvaktaaramavatu Avatu maam avatu vaktaaram. AUM Shantih shantih shantih!
Meaning: May Mitra, Varuna and Aryama be
good to us! May Indra and Brihaspati and Vishnu of great strides be good to us!
Prostrations unto Brahman! (Supreme Reality). Prostrations to Thee, O Vayu!
Thou art the visible Brahman. I shall proclaim Thee as the visible Brahman. I
shall call Thee the just and the True. May He protect the teacher and me! May he
protect the teacher!
Oshadhayah shaantih Vanaspatayah shantih;
Vishvedevaah shaantih Brahma shantih; Sarvam shaantih Shaantireva shantih; Saamaa
shaantiredhih
Meaning: May peace radiate there in the
whole sky as well as in the vast ethereal space everywhere. May peace reign all
over this earth, in water and in all herbs, trees and creepers. May peace flow
over the whole universe. May peace be in the Supreme Being Brahman. And may
there always exist in all spheres peace and peace alone. Aum peace be to the
celestial world, peace be to the spiritual world and peace be to the
terrestrial world.
AATMA SAMARPANA –

PEACE being the NARAYANA atman.
