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 />

om kubjayai namah<br />

om kamakalayai namah<br />
