b.Om Bhoo…………..Bhoorbhavaswarom
Wear Poonal one by one by reciting(poonal should be held by both hands, the tie
in the poonal being held above by the right hand facing upwards)
h.Do aachamanam.
Summary meaning: I wear the white yagnopavitha that is purifying , which was
born along with brahma, which is capable of increasing life .I am sure this would give
glory and strength to me.I am destroying the dirty , soiled yasgnopavita
a.Aaachamanam:Shuklaam Bharadharam…….Santhaye
b.Om Bhoo
d.Then chant “Kamo karsheth manyura karsheth namo nama ” 108 times
Summary meaning:The Brahmin first prays God that the time of doing whatever it
may be should become holy and this he is sure is achieved by prayer to God.Then he
tells when he is doing this japa, for example which year, which season, which day and
so on.And he says that this japa is being done as a repentance for his not perfornming
various religious duties including Learning of Vedas during the year which he ought
to have performed.The main manthra is a prayer to pardon the lapses which were due
to Kama(passion) krodha(anger) and lopa(avarice)
3.Maha Sankalpam
a.Aachamanam
b.Shuklam baradharam……..
c.Om bhoo
d.Maha samkalpam
Summary meaning:Here again apart from locating oneself with reference to time , one
locates himself with reference to place also.We are supposed to live in Jambu Dweepa,
Bharatha Kanda which is south of the great mountain Maha meru.Then again this
Bhasratha Kanda is blessed with many holy rivers and holy places.Then prayer is
done to God to pardon sins committed by word, thought and deed, because this was
done inspite of his great grace which made us be born as human beings after several
wheels of birth.Also the sins performed during several ages in life is
highlighted.Some of the sins specifically mentioned are those done while earning
money without conscience, giving money to improper people, actions which did not
suit the caste we are born in, sins due to non performance of actions which ought to
have been done and so on. We pray God and tell him that we would take bath in holy
pure water and then start the veda parayanas which is our duty as Brahmin.
After bath again change poonal by reciting manthra as given in s.No.1.Please note
that now a days very rarely people take bath after mahaa sankalpam but do prokshana
snanam i.e bath by sprinkling of water on the head.
5.Kanda Rishi Tharpanam
1,Aachamanam
2,Shklaama baradharam
3.Om bhoo
Wear poonal as garland and do tharpanam using water mixed with thil (black
gingely) and akshatha
9.Sadasaspathim tharpayami
5.Vedarambham
Though these are essential part of Avani avittam , I am not giving this because
Vedic manthraas are very difficult to transliterate in to English and reading them
wrongly would be counter productive.
Perform Achamanam
Face eastern direction and do “Shuklam baradaram….” Followed by pranayamam
“om Bhoo…”
After this recite if possible vedic manthras that you know like Rudram,
Chamakam etc
Do aachamanam
