Panchatayana is the practice of worshiping all five primary divine forces together rather than just one chosen deity — recommended by Sanatana's supreme Acharyas as a reflection of seeing God in every particle.
If worshipping the Goddess, place Him to Her left — your right as you sit for worship; otherwise, place Him per the Panchatayana format or near Lord Shiva.
Genuine saints remain unperturbed by both praise and criticism — intolerance of criticism signals unrefined understanding; devotees seeking guidance must approach astrologers, priests, and practitioners with respect, not entitlement or contempt, and must not disrespect any deity within the Panchayatana or broader tradition.
According to Chapter 12 of the Srishti Khanda of the Shiva MahaPurana, a householder must worship five deities (Panchayatana): Ganesha, Surya, Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi.
