गजाननपूजा तथा औपासन-होमविधिः
Worship of Gajānana and the Procedure of Aupāsana-Homa
पठ्यमानैः पृथिव्यादिपुरुषांतं क्रमान्मुने । साज्येन चरुणा मौनी शिवपादाम्बुजं स्मरन्
paṭhyamānaiḥ pṛthivyādipuruṣāṃtaṃ kramānmune | sājyena caruṇā maunī śivapādāmbujaṃ smaran
Hỡi hiền triết, khi các bài tụng được đọc theo thứ lớp—từ nguyên lý Địa cho đến Puruṣa—người ấy nên giữ im lặng, nhiếp tâm bên trong, dâng lễ vật cơm chín (caru) trộn bơ ghee, đồng thời quán niệm đôi chân sen của Đức Śiva.

It teaches that liberation-oriented worship is both ritual and inward: disciplined recitation through the cosmic principles (tattvas) is joined with silence and steady remembrance of Śiva’s lotus-feet, pointing the bound soul (paśu) toward the Lord (Pati) beyond bondage (pāśa).
The external act—offering caru with ghee during recitation—supports Saguna worship (formal pūjā), while the inner act—remembering Śiva’s lotus-feet—draws the mind into concentrated devotion that culminates in direct orientation to Śiva as the supreme reality worshipped in the Liṅga.
Perform ordered mantra/recitation, offer ghee-mixed caru as oblation, maintain mauna (silence), and practice dhyāna by continuously remembering Śiva’s lotus-feet—ideally alongside japa of the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya) if prescribed in the surrounding context.
