Udaka Shanti Pooja

Importance of water

Water is a life giving substance which is essential for all forms of life. Since billions of years after the first creation, water has not changed its composition or properties.
The God of Oceans, water and rivers is Varuna. Water is made holy by infusion. It is mentioned in Rig veda that Agni dwells in water.

Water is used in all vedic karmas, achamanam, madhyanikam and santhyavanthanam rituals. The water of river Ganga is always considered sacred and can be used directly without infusion for the purpose of purification of materials and objects.

Purnakumbha

Purnakumbha means a “full pitcher”. It is usually a pitcher full of water, wherein leaves of mango tree and a full coconut is placed on the pitcher or vessel. The pitcher can be of brass, copper, mud or silver.
This pitcher is used in almost all poojas and occasions like hourse warming ceremony, marriages and other auspicious functions.

A red or white thread is ties around the pitcher or kalash in an intricate geometrical pattern. Most of the times, the diety is invoked into the kalash or purnakumbh. It is done in Udakashanthi procedure as well.
During the pooja, various mantras are recited which will charge the water in the kalash with divind power and this water is utilized for the abhishekam of the diety and given to the devotees as prasadam.
