Performing the Sankashti Puja
At the request of my readers, I am devoting this post to describing a Sankashti Puja proceedure. As with other ritual, there are many ways to perform this puja as well, but the procedure I am describing is something I have followed for several years and is relatively simple. I will try to be as precise as I possibly can as I describe it.
~~~
Lord Ganesha is the God of knowledge. We worship him first before starting any work. The name “Vigneshwara” is an apt name for Lord Ganesha as he is known to remove the hardest of all obstacles [Vigna] and allow streamlined success in whatever endeavors we set ourselves upon. It is the same Lord Ganesha who was the only one capable of writing Maharshi Ved Vyas’s dictation of the Mahabharat. Sankashti Chaturthi falls on the fourth day of the second fortnight of every month on the Hindu Calendar. (See dates for 2008) Devotees fast for a whole day and break their fast after having the darshan of Lord Moon and worshiping Lord Ganesh. This vow is observed to get rid of problems in life.
To start with as soon as you get up have your head bath. Clean the sacred place/temple at your house. Do your morning prayers. Always hum Om Ganeshaya namaha 108 times daily. I always hum the 108 names of Vinayaka. They are called the Ganesha Ashtothara (see below) of Lord Ganesh which is put up in the next paragraph. On the Sankashti day one can hum the 108 names and bow to the lord 21 times either in the morning or at night just before the moon rise however convenient. During the fasting period, Sabudana kitchadi (which I earlier put up here), fruits /curds with Beaten rice are permitted. If one cannot utter the 108 names due to shortage of time or any reason, he/she can byheart this song which is Sankashta Nashana Sthothra and is written underneath.
Sankashtnashana sthothra
Om Pranamya shirasa devam Gowriputhram vinayakam
Bhakthavasam smarenithyam ayuh kamarthasidhaye
Prathamam vakrathundam cha ekadhantham dwithiyakam
Thratheeyam krishnapingaksham gajavakram chathurthakam
Lambodharam panchamancha shashtam vikatamevacha
Sapthamam vighnarajendram cha dhoomravarnam thathashtamam
Navamam balachandram cha dashamam tu Vinayakam
Ekadhasham ganapathim dwadasham tu gajananam
Dwadashithani namani thrisandhyam yaha patennaraha
Na cha vighnabhayam thasya sarvasidhikaram prabho
Vidhyarthi labhathe vidhyam dhanarthi labhathe dhanam
Puthrarthi labhathe puthran moksharthi labhathe gathim
Japedh ganapathi sthothram shadbhir masam phalam labheth
Samvathsarena siddhim cha labhathe nathra samshayaha
Ashtebhyo brahmanebhyashcha likithvayaha samarpayeth
Thasya vidya bhaveth sarva ganeshasya prasadathaha
Ithi sri narada purane
Sankashta nashana ganapathi sthothram samaptham
Decorate the photo of Lord Ganesh with available flowers. The red Hibiscus is the favorite flower of the Lord. The five petalled flower placed on the photo of the lord is usually prefered. The doorva is a must if it is available. Doorva is a 3 bladed grass (creeper). The fern in one’s garden is not Doorva. One can keep this in a bunch of 21 with a Hybiscus flower tied with it as shown in the image below. One can even make a long garland (mala) with doorva and decorate the photo along with flowers. It’s one’s option depending upon the availability & convinience.

Sri Ganesha ashtothara namavali samapthi.
At night just before moon rise finish cooking and hum the Ashtothra , the sankashta nashana sthothra. (either both or only the Sankashta nashana sthothra however convinient) offer 2 coconuts, banana, flowers to the Lord, also offer some fragrance sticks, offer the prasad prepared and then Aarathi also. Sing the song Jaya dev jaya dev or switch on the C.D. for the song and ask for his blessings.
I don’t consume any food other than Sabudana kitchadi. More over I also don’t consume garlic and onion in any dish on Sankashti . However regarding moon rise, sometimes due to the clouds etc., moon may not be visible at the specified time. In that case after the moon rise timings one may perform the puja and enjoy dinner with your family. Modaks can also be prepared. I will post the recipe soon.
Sankashti can be followed through out life. One can also follow only the Angarika sankashti.(Sankashti which falls on Tuesday is called Angarika sankashti) It is as per one’s convinience.
Note:One can start his/her day with this prayer. It is as follows.
Vakrathunda mahakaya Suryakoti samaprabha
Nirvignam kurumedeva Sarvakaryeshu sarvada.

Hi,
Thanks for the info, its very useful….
i prepare modak & perform pooja in the morning & also i show naivaidya in the morning because i dint know the exact procedure…. now i got to know that in the morning we should perform the regular puja, in the evening prepare naivaidya & perform puja after moonrise, is that correct?
March 26, 2008 at 2:01 am
Thanks a lot this is very useful in USA. Please do post the modak recipe soon. Also, do you know how the modak that is bought outside most temples in Bombay/Pune is prepared. I don’t think that one has cocunut.
March 27, 2008 at 1:10 am
hi,
i think i am the one commenting so late..sorry.
First of all a big thankyou for putting the pooja procedure in such a precise way.It has really been convenient in following this simple way of doing the pooja b’coz of lack of time to do elobrate pooja.i did perform the ankarika sankasthi the way you said and it was satisfying in more than one ways.
May Lord Ganesha Bless you and your family always.
Even i am waiting for the modak recipe…more so without coconut.

January 6, 2009 at 2:10 am
Thanks for the datails..
i usually have some fruits and tea and dinner after seeing the moon..
I didn’t do sankasti in pregnancy, it is ok?
January 6, 2009 at 2:17 am
i live in Sydney in Australia, i do the Sankasti which is mentioned in calender in India, but Sydney is 5 hours ahead to india.. Is it ok to do like this or What is the best way to follow the Sankasti?
It is hard to get the Sankasti dates according to the Sydney timings?
January 6, 2009 at 6:27 am
Hi Rakesh,
Ur comments is welcome.
January 6, 2009 at 6:28 am
Hi Sneha,
Thanx a lot for ur comments. Normally people skip Sankashti during last months of pregnancy. No probs i think.
January 6, 2009 at 6:30 am
Hi Sneha,
If you happen to do it 5 hours ahead of india’s timings , then you should have food in the evening itself. So i think you can follow it as you feel it convinient.
January 6, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Hi Sneha,
Just go thru your country’s weather site and follow the moonrise timings accordingly.
March 14, 2009 at 4:57 am

But where can I get ‘DURVA’ Is there a specific place we can find such grass.
August 15, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Hi Deepti,
This grass is a creeper and grows anywhere with a little water and sunlight. Here in india we get it in the markets as well during sankashti.
August 15, 2009 at 2:14 pm
And I cant wait to try out these recipies.

hello
plz clarify my doubt bcoz i really want to keep angarak sankashti chaturti fast but my maharastiran frnd said if u keep it once than u need to follow chaturthi fast on every month…….Is that so? i am frm north india nd i dnt knw much abt it………… plz reply
September 8, 2009 at 2:13 am
Hi Anshul,
There are people who follow only Angarika sankashti. Following one Angarika sankashti is like having followed 21 normal sankashti. I donot think there is any hard and fast rule regarding the same..
October 7, 2009 at 11:20 pm

You can cook Drumstick for a while in the seasoning and then add Brinjal pieces. One more thing always use Fresh Drumstick only.

When Ganesha and Moon are considered enemies, why should one see moon before breaking the fast??
April 22, 2011 at 10:25 am
Shashi,
A reasonable Legend explanation I found at http://www.shreedarshan.com/sankashti.htm . According to legend, a cure to curse given by Lord Ganesh when Moon laughed at him (curse cannot be taken back…..)was suggested by Him.The already granted curse could not be reversed,but Lord Ganesh blessed the Moon by saying that, ‘On Sankashti Chaturthi, no devotee will consume the meals until your face is seen and prayers are offered to you”.
I hope, Pratibha, you will excuse me for “bud-in” for this explanation.
July 18, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Thankyou Pratibha and all of u for ur explanations.
September 1, 2011 at 8:35 am

Hi Pratibha,
Thankyou for the explanations. One more doubt I seem to have is the number of fruits being offered to the Lord during Ganesh Sankashti Pooja. Does the five fruits to be offered include the coconut also ?

Hi, the moon rise time here is around 10.30pm which is very late in terms of when one has dinner with family in Singapore. Do I eat first with family and then do the pooja? If pooja is done after moonrise i will not be able to distribute prasad to family member as they will all be in bed. How do I do this? I am puzzled.

Hi Harika,
You have followed the vrata with so much devotion and you got your periods after the pooja right. It means almighty has willingly accepted your pooja. It is nature. Please do not worry. You did not get it in between the day right? Do not worry at all.
October 29, 2015 at 8:52 pm

At this time it appears like Expression Engine is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

I’m really loving the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems? A couple of my blog audience have complained about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any tips to help fix this issue?
