The sixteen offerings as a full-sized form of pūjā
Ṣoḍaśopacāra is the classical sixteenfold form of Sanskrit worship. It expands the simpler structure of pañcopacāra pūjā into a full-sized form of pūjā and provides an important foundation for more elaborate forms of deity worship.
This six-part course continues naturally from the Pañcopacāra Course and leads into a more complete ritual sequence. You will learn the structure (krama) of ṣoḍaśopacāra pūjā, including the preliminary steps along saṁkalpa, the sixteen offerings, and the closing of the worship. The mantras used in the course are carefully and thoroughly learnt and practised step by step. The course explores the worship of different devatās and presents a ritual structure that can be adapted for various forms of deity worship.
The written material and accompanying MP3 recordings on which this course is based are included in the Sūrya book shown below. This book serves as the course book and forms the textual and practical foundation of the course. The Vāgyoga course and book offer an ideal preparation for students who wish to deepen their understanding of Sanskrit pronunciation and mantra recitation.
