Idol worship- what is pran pratishtha?

The slogan Jai shri Ram has been an object of fear and ridule in the past few years nevertheless I would like to educate the meaning of the slogan jai shri Ram .


Jai - victorious one


SHRI - AUSPICIOUS ONE , RAJASIC ( ALLUDING TO HIM BEING ASSOCIATED WITH KING OF UNIVERSE)


RAM - TO BE COMPLETELY INVOLVED WITH OR AMALGAMATE INTO


PRAAN - LIFE FORCE , ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH A DEITY IN THE UNIVERSE. It is the very Chetana that is present in parabramha . Pran is not breath but the essence of every cell and molecule in the world. It is present everywhere we just are trying to activate it for our purpose.


PRATISTHA - ESTABLISH OR CONSECRATE


Idol worship is a subject in Siddha/ Sanatan Dharm that has been a subject of vilification since time immemorial .


The abrahamic religion , devoid of knowledge related to tantric rituals has demonized our advanced practices and called us grown ups who play with dolls .

You can consider it a type of technology that can connect and compel a higher energy to come to you . Such access is absent in Bhakti marg and other abrahamic religions.

This is an exclusively tantric process. But each branch of tantra has its own elaborate rituals .

Any learned person with right mantras on the permission of. His Guru can tap into the portal of any deity and can bring the energy into this realm. He/She can establish this energy into a stone , metal idol or yantra .

This process is part of ‘Pratik upaasana’ or symbolic worship of Deva Parampara in Hindu / Sanatan/ Siddha Dharm.


We worship this energy in the idol as the idol is activated for some time with the energy of God.


This ritual is usually done for some time alone. And the deity energy is sent back ie ,visarjan .

Nevertheless , due to the presence of the divine energy for a brief time this idol is holy . The process can be repeated anytime .


Each pran pratishtha process is elaborate some Kaulachari pran pratishtha and karmkand can last upto 21 days. Vedic rituals can last few days like the one for Ram mandir - a 7 day process .


The process involves invoking and installing a Yantra along with the idol Then any priest can Invoke mantra of all the deities in the mandal, perform nyas, mudra, havan , arni Manthan (sacred fire) shodash upchaar etc



All my knowledge is because of Kaulantak Nath Ishaputra.
