Sama Veda Uapakarma Procedure 2026 | Sama Vedi Avani Avittam Puja Procedure with Mantram & Samkalpam

Sama Veda Upakarma Prayoga for the year 2026

                         (13 September 2026)

(Compiled by P.R.Ramachander)

Gayatri Japam 2026 date is August 28. And check out Gayatri Japam Mantras here for 2026..

In the case of Sama Veda, The upa Karma prayogam is very extensive and differs very much from the Upakarma prayoga of Rig and Yajur Vedis.They always do it in Hastha Nakshtra ( up to 1.08 pm )of  the Kanya Masa(this year they are doing in simha masa). It essentially consists of ten steps in the following order

1.Panchagavya sammelanam

2.Snana Mahasankalpam

3.Brahmayagnam

4.Punyaham

5.Rishipooja(Uthsarjan Karma)

6.Deva,rishi, Pithru Tharpanam (264+12)

7.Ghata Poojai

8.Yagnopaveethadhaaranam

9.Vedarambam

10.Kankanadharanam

           Naturally these have to be done with the instruction of a Guru but in modern times when people are scattered all over the world and also because well learned Sama Vedi Purohithas are very scarce, many people are forced to do it in their home depending on some handouts. Since most of the above steps are lengthy and involve proper chanting of Sama Veda Mantras,they do only three steps of the above 10. They are

I.Snana maha Sankalpam,

ii,Brahma Yagnam

iii.Yagnopaveetha dharanam

         English is a very inadequate language to type out Sanskrit manthras. But I have made an effort to present the needed mantras for the above steps for the  year because I feel that  our youngsters are more at home in English rather than in their mother toungue or Sanskrit. Since I am not a Sama Vedin I depend for the mantras on Book published by  C.Sankara TRama Sastri(1956) Sama Veda Upakrama prayoga published by Sri Balamanorama press, Madras. I have also got my typing read through and to certain extent edited by Sri.P.A.Anantharaman.I am grateful to him,

i.Snana Maha Samkalpam

After bath (Nowadays people only take Sankalpa Snanam by sprinkling water)

take Pancha Gavyam chanting

Yathavagasthi gatham papam dehe thishtathi maamake,

Praasanam pancha gavyasya dahathwagni rivendanam.

Take bath again, wear dry cloths, put on caste marks, do regular daily duties and then do Brahma Yagna.

**  Tritheeya is  till 7.05 Am next day Hastha Nakshatra is  p to 1.08 am next day afterwards CHithra Nakshatra. Change according to your local time after comparing it to IST. The Avani avittam for Sama Vedis   has to be  done in Hastha  Nakshatram.(If you are doing it  after hastha nakshatra  in the country  where you live , please  consult  your Acharya- possibly you have to do it the previous day  there)

Summary meaning:Here again apart from locating oneself with reference to time , one locates himself with reference to place also.We are supposed to live in Jambu Dweepa, Bharatha Kanda which is south of the great mountain Maha meru.Then again this Bhasratha Kanda is blessed with many holy rivers and holy places.Then prayer is done to God to pardon sins committed by word, thought and deed, because this was done inspite of his great grace which made us be born as human beings after several wheels of birth.Also the sins performed during several ages in life is highlighted.Some of the sins specifically mentioned are those done while earning money without conscience, giving money to improper people, actions which did not suit the caste we are born in, cutting of tree, spoiling a lake , trading of several banned commodities such as  salt , blanket, meat, root , fruit etc, sins due to non performance of actions which ought to have been done and so on. We pray God and tell him that we would take bath in holy pure water and then start the veda parayanas which is our duty as a Brahmin.

ii.Brahma Yagnam.

Perform Achamanam

Face eastern direction and do “Shuklam baradaram….” Followed by pranayamam “om Bhoo…”

Rig Vedi Avani Avittam for the year 2026 (one day before Yajur upakarma)

Rig  Vedi Avani Avittam for the year 2026 (one day  before Yajur  upakarma)

(Compiled by P.R.Ramachander)

(The Gayathri japam is on   the same day 20-8-2024  for all the rig veda  and should  be done after  avani avittam brahma yagnam . The sankalpam for the Gayathri japam  is given    https://brahminrituals.blogspot.com/2026/08/gayathri-japam-manthras-for-year-2026.html)

(For 15 years , I had been putting the   for the rig Vedis, the same collection of Manthras   like Yajur vedis.  Being a Yajur vedi  , I have seen the rig Vedis also doing   the same rituals   as Yajur Vedis.  A  learned Gentleman from Madras  viz Sri Mani Narayan wrote to me   that  the manthras , I was giving was wrong and the correct manthras   are available  in a book by  Seri L.Anantha Narayana Sastri and published by  R.S.Vadhyar, Palakkad. Three   years back   I got the book, To my surprise  I found all the rituals before Mahasankalpa    were Pujas and Homas, which cannot be performed    without the help of   the learned priest.   They are

1,Vighneswara Pooja

2.Sankalpa Punyahavachanam

3.Aghni Mukham

4.Veda Vyasa Pooja

5.Pradhana AAjyaa hoothaya

6,Pradhana  Charu homa

7.Uthsarjanarthe  Veda Aarambh

8.Home sesha

       The Kanda Rishi Tharpanam of the Yajur Vedis is to be replaced by A very elaborate  Deva –Rishi –Tharpanam  , which is again  is followed by Gayathri Homa      and Veda Aramba,  Since I was trying     to give Manthras for people    who   cannot  get help of Vadhyars , I  am giving below, Yajnopavitha Dharana  Manthra,  Mahasankalpam and Deva Rishi Pithru Tharpanam , followed by Brahma  Yagna  and the Gayathri japa  manthras   for the 28-8-2026  I am an ignoramus   and so  if I have committed any errors, please   pardon me. My thanks  for several of my friends   who responded for my request for clarification  on Rig Vedi Upakarmam)

*On  26 -8-2026 , Chathurdasi   starts  at 8 AM  is up to  7.49 Am next day   , and  afterwards pournami sravana    Nakshatra is up to 0.40 am next day .Rig vedis  cannot upakarma   after that time  ).

These are according to the Madathu Panchanga

– Before you do the Upakarma   , please calculate corresponding  IST  and take the  proper Thidhi and Nakshatra.

Summary meaning:Here again apart from locating oneself with reference to time , one locates himself with reference to place also.We are supposed to live in Jambu Dweepa, Bharatha Kanda which is south of the great mountain Maha meru.Then again this Bhasratha Kanda is blessed with many holy rivers and holy places.Then prayer is done to God to pardon sins committed by word, thought and deed, because this was done inspite of his great grace which made us be born as human beings after several wheels of birth.Also the sins performed during several ages in life is highlighted.Some of the sins specifically mentioned are those done while earning money without conscience, giving money to improper people, actions which did not suit the caste we are born in, sins due to non performance of actions which ought to have been done and so on. We pray God and tell him that we would take bath in holy pure water and then start the veda parayanas which is our duty as Brahmin.

3.Yagnopa veetha dharana manthra

     After bath again change poonal by reciting manthra as given in s.No.1.Please note that now a days very rarely people take bath after mahaa sankalpam but do prokshana snanam i.e bath by sprinkling of water on the head.
