Adesh to the Holy Name! Adesh to Guruji! Greetings to Guruji! Who is anointing with incense and is colored with kumkum. Where the incense is – there God is, where God is – there the worship is. I offer sesame, ghee, coconut, sweets and incense to Alakh Niranjan only, no one else and so as it should. Please, take kundalas in pierced ears, sugar, stone cup, water, woolen thread (janeo) and asana. I offer the first dhupa to Sadguru in the North, in the South, in the East and the West joining my hands in greetings. I offer the second dhupa to Shiva and Shakti who gives success and good luck. I offer the third dhupa to the earth, to the sky, to the rising Moon and the Sun. I offer the forth dhupa to 18 plants that were collected in the shade of a tree. I offer the fifth dhupa to five elements which give the redemption (or liberation?) and salvation from rebirth. Gradually permeated the darkness, the body of the blessed protector Guru Gorakshanath, of the Lord of the Sound is shining. Let Mother the Emptiness, Incorporeal Father, the Divine Family, the ghee, the flavor of milk satisfy Shri Guru Gorakshanath who belongs to Shambhu’s family. Thus dhupa vasana mantra is completed. Adesh to the Great Nath Guru!
