"SHREE RANACHANDIKA PRAPATTI".

** ‘Shreerannachandika Naimittik prapatti’ for men. **

This may be offered on any Monday of the month of Shravan. Who is worshipped on the Monday of the month of Shravan? The Shivashankar for one, yes sure. Who else? the other pictures that we include in the poojan ? Jeevatyaa and Narsimha.


             The poojan on the Monday of the Shravan is addressed to Nrisimha. The Nrisimha form is half lion and half man. Every man must have the firm belief that the Nrisimha is indeed the Trivikram and the Trivikram is the Nrisimha, they are one and the same.


The men offer at home their prapatti after sunset but individually and separately .

** The procedure for men **
----------------------------------------------
1) After a bath, sit before the image of the Trivikram and when it is past sunset, recite the Shree gurukshetram mantra nine times.


2) Then recite the mantra ‘Om namashchandikaayaee’ 108 times. This mantra was born of the loud roar of the Devisinha, who is in fact the paramatma and no different from the Trivikram, the original form of the Nrisinha.
This mantra is the most eminent, the supreme one of all that gives valour to men.


3) Now placing the image of the Trivikram on the head, recite the Gurukshetram mantra nine times all over again. This will initiate and cause the very essence or core feature of the Nrisinha, i.e. of the Devisinha to flow, travel from the head through the entire body. There is no better remedy to rid of timidity and weakness.


The radiant energy of the Nrisinha enters your body and prepares and equips you to become a soldier, capable of protecting the home, the dharma and the country.


So that is how the Shree rannachandika prapatti makes of the man, a protecting soldier of the family, the dharma and the country.


4) Then Offer the Trivikram, a naivedya of a banana along with a mixture of curds and sugar. The banana and the curds (with sugar) are to be offered in separate bowls, do not mix in the two. The one offering the prapatti will eat a spoonful of the curds (mixed with sugar).


5) Give the banana as Prasad, to both the men and the women in the family. Now come back and sit before the Trivikram and eat all of the remaining curds looking at the Trivikram all along as you do so. Curds enhances the oj (valour) (ओज ).
The oj of the Trivikram, that is received in the form of vibrations, is absorbed or taken in, in the form of curds.


6) Then offer fragrant flowers to the Trivikram and then offer the lotangan. (लोटांगण) .The flowers come right at the end, if you noticed! Flowers are meant to express gratitude, to thank.


•Any man above the age of sixteen can do the prapatti.
** Remember the Shree rannachandika prapatti is not to be done in a group; it has got to be done individually, all by yourself.


The prapatti can make of men and women alike, valiant soldiers apart from making them the protector- bodyguards at least of their family. When every single family is protected, it follows that the nation is and so is the dharma.


The Shree rannachandika prapatti will enhance the purushartha, the valour and their power as men.
