Today's A Journey through Aesthetic Realms will be presented in Hindi and English, with subtitles in Arabic, Aulacese (Vietnamese), Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Persian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. A warm welcome as we invite our honorable viewers to join us for the second of our 2-part show about the 3-day Hindu prayer traditions. In particular, the Yaagam Prayer is being conducted at the Vinayagar Ganesha Temple in Klang, Malaysia. Siva Sri Nandakumar Gurukkal shares with us the main and most important prayer, "Ukra Ratha Shanthi Saubakya Maha Yaaga Puja." Hindus consider this a very auspicious occasion and a sacred privilege to be able to receive the puja's, or prayer's, benefits. These particular prayers are specially conducted for the people who are suffering from sickness, marriage problems, in their 9-planets problems, and their karmas who are disturbing their life. They cannot grow in the particular prayers and pujas all the time, and the mind disturbs, and the work problem, working-wise, cannot grow. So all together, we did this big Yaagam to get rid their main karmas, and after this Yaagam, follow the particular way to reach God and grow in their life. In 60 years' experience in this temple history, this is the first time we conduct this biggest prayer for devotees around the area, because this is a very heavy and very big ceremony. Very difficult thing also to conduct this type of prayers. The puja performed was very meaningful, it has never been performed in Klang, and it is a grand puja and is very meaningful to the people. My main reason for coming here is to receive blessings from God for all aspects of my life. Besides that, I'd like to know... I got to learn about the beliefs of our religion. I am very happy to have participated in such a special puja. I hope this kind of puja can be performed more often in all parts of Malaysia. Before the commencement of the main Yaagam Puja prayer, the priests lead the congregation in reciting the daily ritualistic prayers, in reverence and worship to various gods and deities. Afterward, the 9-Planet Puja offers respect and prayers of worship to the nine planets of the solar system. Worshippers hope for smooth sailing in their daily lives. The priest will sprinkle water to the food and offer to the gods to get the blessing from the nine planets. The Balibida Puja is going on at the moment to get rid our bad karmas before we enter the temple. The notable and auspicious prayer for the memorable event, "Ukra Ratha Shanthi Saubakya Maha Yaagam Puja," is paramount to the puja being accomplished successfully. Favorable benefits are imparted to all worshippers who participate in it. Now, the special puja's already started, this is called Yaagam Kundam. In the Yaagam Kundam, or fire worship, special mantras are chanted, invoking the presence of deities' supernatural essence. Eleven priests continuously chant the Sri Rudram prayer of the sacred Vedic scriptures. At the same time, a combination of herbs and spices will be added into the fire as an offering and entreating the respective deities to bless the devotees. Special permission to carry out this particular prayer must be obtained from the head of the temple. What you're seeing now is the temple's president and his wife are leading the ceremony to get Sangalpam. Sangalpam means we have to have a goal, and why we are doing these prayers and what are the reasons to get these prayers done well. The president's permission must we have, so we call the particular president's blessing. The priests proceed with the Yaagam Kundam. The fire worshipping is almost complete. This is Punjahareti, referring to the five decorated lamps. While the prayer session is being conducted, the priests will call the particular devas to guide and oversee the Agni Homam or fire worshipping. They call upon Intran, Agni, Yeman, Niruthi, Vayu, Varuna, Kuberan, and Eesanan, to ensure a smooth and successful performance. The Archana, which means God's names, is a repetitive intonation of the different names of God. Flowers are offered after every name is chanted. After the prayers and chanting, the devotees take the ashes or darpei aasanam to place on their foreheads, it signifies that the person's soul has been purified through a puja. The mantra chanting, or Sri Rudram in the Vedas, have to be conducted 11 times and is called "Ega Dasha Rudram." Toward the completion of the ceremony, devotional songs are sung by the priests to the deities. After the ceremony, the big kalasam is carried around the temple. The priest who carrying the holy water pot, kumbam, we call it, they have to wrap their head and their garland. Now, the kalasam is being bro
