What is the Betel Nut (Supari) Ganapati used for?
A large consecrated betel nut icon worshipped with daily Abhisheka using Atharvashirsha, Sahasranama, or Sankatanashana Stotram pacifies spirit-related disturbances.
Altar arrangement for the Ashtavinayak pujan
The speaker shows the arrangement for the Ashtavinayak sadhana: eight Paan leaves laid out in the form of an ashtadal kamal, with lamps set on them and every lamp turned toward the Ganpati swaroop. A photograph of the ashta-vinayaka is kept there too. Over yellow Akshat, a Supari wound with Kalava is installed as the swaroop of Ganpati.
In what form may a devi be worshipped when there is no photo or murti?
Asked, since we worship Ganesh ji in supari form, in what form a devi should be worshipped when there is no photo or murti of her, he answers: if you wish to do it in a symbolic form, then in the form of a supari all the shaktis become worshipped.
What are the two kinds of Ganpati prayoga?
A prayoga of Ganpati is always of two kinds. The first, which is the root prayoga, is upon a supari — and in supari, if it be a silver supari, then it serves particularly for oots, pitrs and everything connected with them. In Vedic or Pauranik pujan you will not at all come to know from the mantras that something is being said for the peace of the pitrs; only a particular marmagya might explain it.
What happens when the silver supari is bathed?
When you come into tantra: if the prayoga is being done through a silver supari, then all your pitrs and oots are being pacified through that medium. As Ganpati is bathed, as the rajat abhishek of Ganpati happens, so all the oots of your house become pleased — and being pleased they will give grace, or if they need gati they will receive gati through Ganpati. As Bhagavati Gauri is pleased they will get a path to move forward. So Gauri Ganpati of silver supari — solid, not hollow.
The Gauri Ganpati pujan is to be had done in solid rajat supari or else in one made from mritika
The most correct thing for it is the pujan of Gauri Ganpati — which, as already told, is to be had done either in solid rajat supari or else made from mritika.
Should there be eight supari or twelve?
Asked, since there are twelve Ganpatis in the Sankatnashan stotra, whether the supari will be eight or twelve, he answers that if you wish to do the sadhana of the Dvadash Vinayak then they will be twelve; and if you go into the Sankatnashan, then too they will be twelve.
Must a fresh supari be used each time for kuldevi avahan?
No — not a new supari every day. The supari will be established once, and the avahan will happen upon that same one; after that it is not to be removed.
Can the same supari swaroop be used again for Gauri-Ganesh puja?
Asked whether the supari swaroop on which Ma Gauri and Ganesh ji are worshipped at the time of puja can be worshipped upon again, he says that if it is being continued, then it can be done; otherwise do their visarjan afterwards, or else they can also be kept where Lakshmi and Ganesh ji are.
