The wish-tree Puja
A ceremony invokes peace and blessings for all existence. The divine mother is the fundamental creator. Invocations call for peace in the celestial realms, the earth, the dawn, the plants, and for all beings. Practical instructions are given amidst these blessings. The act of fetching water is consecrated and declared to become an offering. The ceremony concludes with repeated divine blessings and praises.
"Gauṁ śānti pṛthivī śāntira vā śāntira uṣadayā śāntira vanaspati śānti viśvedi vā śāntira brahma śānti sarvau gauṁ śānti."
"This will also become a garland."
