How to make Pujaa platter arrangement: Cosmic elements

Introduction: Hindu Dharma provides
various pathways to worship the divine. Ritualistic worship
(Karmakand), a subset of Path of Devotion
(Bhaktimarg), is one such path. In the Path
of Ritualistic Worship (Karmakand), as the
name suggests, every aspect of the ritual has spiritual
significance and science behind it. In this article, we will look
at the aspect of arranging the platter for ritualistic
worship.
Arrangement based on cosmic elements: Before
commencing the actual ritualistic worship
(pujaa), it is important to arrange the tools
and other components used in the ritualistic worship in a
spiritually beneficial manner. From the viewpoint of the science of
spirituality it is appropriate to arrange them based on the level
of the five cosmic elements. The cosmic elements are Absolute Earth
(Pruthvi), Absolute Water
(Aap), Absolute Fire
(Tej), Absolute Wind
(Vaayu) and Absolute Ether
(Aakaash). The reason for an arrangement
based on the cosmic elements is that such an arrangement balances
and coordinates the five cosmic elements that are active in the
universe. This helps the embodied soul (worshipper) to derive
maximum benefit from the manifest (sagun) and unmanifest
(nirgun) frequencies emitted by the deity being ritualistically
worshipped.
Arranging the components of the ritualistic worship
platter: The arrangement of the components of the
ritualistic platter is as seen in the above image. It is explained
in the two-dimensional context of the relative position of the
deity being ritualistically worshipped and the worshipper. Thus,
‘at the forefront’ refers to the part of the platter positioned
close to the image or idol of the deity being worshipped, and
‘lower end of the platter’ refers to the part of the platter
positioned close to the worshipper.
Powders: In the ritualistic platter, turmeric
(haldi) and vermilion (kumkum) are to be placed
to the right of the embodied soul (worshipper). The black coloured
powder (bukka), magenta coloured powder (gulal)
and saffron coloured powder (shendur) are to be placed to
the left of the worshipper.
Fragrances: The perfume bottle, fragrant
paste (usually sandalwood paste), flowers, a special type of tender
grass (durva) and leaves
(patri) are to be placed at the forefront of
the platter, i.e. close to the image of the deity being
ritualistically worshipped. This is because the subtle, spiritual
frequencies of the deity are activated by the fragrance particles
in the perfume, fragrant paste and flowers and by the
colourparticles in the special grass and leaves.
Betel and monetary offering: The leaves and
nuts of the betel plant and money are offered in the ‘ritual of
offering money’ namelydakshina. These
components are to be placed at the lower end of the platter, i.e.
close to the worshipper. This is because these components are an
effective medium for transmitting the deity’s subtle, spiritual
frequencies towards the worshipper.
Unbroken rice grains: In the center, the all
encompassing unbroken rice grains are to be placed. The unbroken
rice grains become the central portion of the platter because the
frequencies of the five superior deities, namely Lord Shiva,
Goddess Durga, Lord Rama, LordKrushna (Krishna) and Lord Ganapati
are attracted to them. These divine frequencies are then
transmitted as needed to the other components like vermilion,
turmeric, etc., placed around the rice grains in a circular
manner.
