Some Tulsi or Holy Basil leaves or banana pieces are also put in it for a different taste.

How to make Panchamrut (five Nectars) for Pooja Panchamrut is considered to be the nectar for offering to gods in various religious occasions in Hindu culture. Panch- is five in sanskrit and Amrut is nectar. At the end of the Pooja, a little bit of panchamrut is offered to all who have attended the pooja as part of the Prasad. When making Panchamrut, use the quantity according to the people present. When using just to offer to god, this following quantity should suffice. Make sure to add one Tulsi leaf before offering to God. Here is how we make Panchamrut: Ingredients: one table spoon of fresh luke warm milk one teaspoon of fresh (preferably home made) yogurt one tea spoon of pure Ghee one teaspoon of good quality Honey one teaspoon of Guud (Jaggery) Or Sugar. Method: Take Milk in a bowl and add all other ingredients in the order as above stirring each one gently to mix well as you add. Now add one tulsi leaf and offer to God for pooja. After Pooja and prasad distribution to all, any left over Panchamrut should be offered to a plant pot or Tulsi if not used up. For every Hindu Pooja vidhi Panchamrit is required for Abhishek and Naivedyam ,Naivedya or Bhog. Panchamrit is called as Panchamrutham in south India, Panchamrut in Maharashtra and Panchamrit or Charnamrit in North India. The recipe of Panchamrit varies from place to place but the basic recipe of Panchamrit, Panchamrutham or Panchamruth is same. Panch means 5 and Amrit ,Amrutham or Amrut means holy drink. In Puran ,Shastra and Ayurveda it is described that Panchamrit is made up 5 nectars or ingredients in particular proportion. If it combined in that proportion a very healthy nourishing Panchamrit is made. The ingredients of Panchamrit | Panchamrutham| Panchamrut are Cow’s milk – cow is worshiped by Hindus as mother. Curd (dahi from cow milk) – curd is considered as white, smooth luster of the moon. Ghee – (homemade ghee/ clarified butter) – ghee is consider as a food of gods Sugar – for sweetness Honey –has the healing power Benefits of Panchamrit It has lot of benefits that’s why Panchamrutham is also called as food for god (amrut / amrit) It is given in 9 months of pregnancy for the good health of mother and fetus. Panchamritham prepared with right proportion also considered as healthy recipe for brain function . Panchamrutham also nourishes the skin and keeps it healthy. Good food for healthy hairs. Panchamruham shelf life depends upon the climatic conditions. In winter you can keep it outside for 12 hrs but in summers it goes bad in few hours. Refrigerate it or prepare fresh whenever you need. Right Proportion of milk, curd, ghee, honey and sugar is very important in Panchamrit, Especially the proportion of ghee and honey.As per Ayurveda when ghee and honey is combined in equal quantity it becomes toxic .The proportion of honey and ghee should be 1:2 ,this proportion is healthy and works really well in this holy drink. Don’t add any fruits in Panchamrit except banana .When Panchamrit is offered for bhog , naivedya or prasad basil leaf (tulsi) is added to it . Panchamrita is a sacred mixture of five ingredients i.e. Milk, Curd, Honey, Sugar and Ghee in equal amounts. The word “Panchamrita” is a combination of two words, Pancha means five and Amrita means ambrosia, immortal, and nectar of gods or beverage of gods. Panchamrita is also called Charnamrit in some parts of India.Often Basil (Tulsi) leaves and dry fruits are also added in Panchamrita. However, there may be certain regional variations in ingredients. Most south Indians add ripe banana instead of sugar. Origin of Panchamrit The most popular mention of the dish can be traced back to Mahabharata (largest epic ever written in the history of Mankind!). In Mahabharata it is stated that the Panchamrit was perhaps one of the valuable ingredients that emerged during Samudra manthan or Ksheera sagar manthan (churning of the ocean of milk). The demons and gods who were part of the process had a very long fight in establishing their control over this amrit, because they knew that whoever had it will become immortal forever. Uses of freshly prepared Panchamrut if consumed daily… Boosts physical strength Improves potency (increases shukra in the body) Improves immunity Vitalizes the brain Enhances intelligence, memory, grasping power, creative abilities. Improves complexion as it’s considered as skin cleanser. It should be consumed every day, preferably in the morning, on an empty stomach. **************************************************************************************************** THANKS FOR SOURCES :- vaishali2013.blogspot.in/2013/10/panchamritnectar-of-gods.html healthyvegrecipes/how-to-make-panchamrit-panchamrut-panchamrutham-for-pooja/ astropeep/recipes-for-fasting-festivals-and-charity/ https://sanskritchantsnprayers.wordpress ******************************************************************************** FROM COIMBATORE VENKATASUBBARAO RAGHAVENDRA RAO. //// SHRI HARI KRISHNAARPANA MASTHU ////
