snānam
“ārunōdaya vēla thasyā snānam maha phalam” - Vishnu smriti
The month of Magha is precious for early morning bath and highly rewarding. It is believed that all bad deeds will be washed off. Using the leaves of the “arka” plant and doing snāna on ratha saptami, wards off sins done in the previous 7 births and are pardoned by the grace of Surya Narayana. When taking bath in the flowing waters, it is advised to do so in the early morning hours, before anyone else starts using the stream. It is a practice to use sesame oil and light a lamp made in clay. While keeping a container on top with the “arka” leaf on the head, recite the ṣnana ṃantra given below and pray to Surya Narayana. The light is then set afloat in water.
The light of the lamp represents the divine who is splendorous and has the brilliance of thousands of suns. The head - śiras also called sahasrār – is the culmination point, which connect with the supreme. The lamp is like śatāri– the lord’s feet which bless us. Keeping this lamp on the head connects us with the divine. It is said that arka leaf has the effect of expanding the nerve centers, enabling us to perceive and receive divine ordinance.
snāna mantram
“yada janma krutam pāpam mayā janmasu janmasu।
tanmēy rōgam ca śōkam ca mākarihantu saptami।|”
“yētatjjanmakrutam pāpam yacca janmāntarārjitam।
manōvākkāyajam yacca jnātājnātēy ca yē punah॥”
“iti sapta vidham pāpam snānmēy sapta saptikēy।
sapta vyādhi samāyuktam hara mākari saptami॥”
“May the entirety of my sins accumulated in my present and previous births, on account of conscious and unconscious acts or those perpetrated by my vocal or mental roots, be dissolved on this makhara saptami and may this sacred snānam with my earnest and heartfelt supplications and obeisance to you, Surya Dēva!, in the form of seven kinds of sins and seven types of diseases be destroyed forever!”
