After a long time, I am trying to keep my promise of updating the ADDOORMANE blogsite.
After the Deepavali, the kaarthika maasa starts.The Mondays of this maasa is specially meant for the worship of Lord Shiva in our household. I cannot say why but I shall try to find out some time. Previously, .during my grandfather’s days,
Lord Shiva was worshipped every monday in this month .Our family purohith would come ,and recite the rudra and chamaka 11 times .After each recitation of
the rudra, and part of chamaka , naivedya of aralu, piece of jaggery , plantain and soaked kadale, is offered ,followed by aarathi .After the 11th recitation , mahapooja
is performed .after the usual naivedya of 1/2 seer of cooked raw rice, +paramaanna, and a special sweet preparation After the pooja the purohith is pald for his efforts and he blesses the gathering.
.This is followed by a feast with all the assembled relatives
The usual menu for the feast are as follows,
First a drop or two of ghee is sprinkled on the washed and cleaned plantain leaf,
Followed by a spoonful or two of payasam on the lower right corner of the leaf
Salt on the left top corner, pickles next to it, next kosambri then sasive, then chutney then 2 types of palya. this completes the upper row.on the leaf.
Then cooked raw rice is served, followed by ghee. After brahmarpana, all start eating, first saaru is served followed by menaskaayi, then comes bolhuli, followed by the sweet,which is served on the left lower corner of the leaf, this is followed by kaayhuli, then the paramaanna, and lastly curds and buttermilk, this completes the feast. During the feast , dakshina is given to the purohith and the guests.
Nowadays , because of so many constraints, the pooja is performed only on one of the Mondays , convenient to both us ,our purohith and our chef.
This year, this was performed on Monday the 24th November, 2008.
