In Hinduism

Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)

Śrīsūktārādhana (श्रीसूक्ताराधन) (lit. “worship with the śrīsūkta-mantra”) is the name of chapter 11 of the (first section of the) Bṛhadbrahmasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text containing over 4600 Sanskrit verses dealing primarily with Vaiṣṇava theology and practical matters concerning the Śrī-Vaiṣṇava community but also discussing aspects of Viśiṣṭādvaita philosophy.

Description of the chapter [śrīsūktārādhana]: Here instructions are given for preparing pots of sanctified water which are to be poured by the Ācārya—saying “May your sins go away!”—over the Śiṣya’s head. The Śiṣya-aspirant petitions the protection of Lakṣmī (1-11). This mantrābhiṣeka-bath affords all kinds of potencies to all sorts and conditions of persons (12-20a). The elaborate prabodhayātrā-awakening ceremonies for the Goddess are then described. After a brief period these ceremonies are followed by the celebration of Her birthday festival-and general directions for doing which are given (20b-50), along with the rewards for seeing that all is carefully done (51-56a).
