After this, the sadhaka's internal worship of sakti starts with his<br />
visualizing a floating circle of rays of light as though reflected from<br />
snow, with red light mixed in it, and there appears Sakti sitting in<br />
Padmasana with Siva. In the final act of surrender sadhaka<br />
mentally extinguishes those aspects of himself such as ego-sense,<br />
pride, greed, illusion, and lust, which are hindrances to his goal by<br />
offering different kinds of flowers, each symbolically representing<br />
these aspects.<br />
Linga worship<br />
After this the linga is worshipped by reciting the following mantra<br />
ten times:<br />
Om aum isanaya namah<br />
om aum aghoraya namah<br />
om aum vamadevaya namah<br />
om aum sadyojataya namah<br />
om aum tatpurusaya namah<br />
om nivrttyai namah<br />
om pratisthayai namah<br />
om vidyayai namah<br />
om santatitayai namah<br />
om ayutesvaraya namah<br />
