Do it every day for 44 days. Do also japa of Ganapati 444 times. Your obstacles will melt away.
Get up early in the morning and worship the feet of the Guru on top of your head.
Repeat once more. Imagine that from the feet of the Guru the cool flow of the Ganges water is flowing
over your body.
Now imagine that in the center of your heart there is a shining ball of sun, orange in color rising on the
horizon.
In that visualize the form of Maha Ganapathy, orange in color and imagine that your whole body is filled
with light, the surface of the body is just like a balloon and inside it is the orange light of Ganapathy, and
this glow is coming out of your body too.
Now finish your morning duties and then sit down facing east and make a pyramid (with a square base)
of turmeric powder in a betel leaf or any leaf.
Apply some kumkum to the centers of four triangle sides of the pyramid.
Now take some pure water and put some tulasi in it. With the leaves of the tulasi do the following 444
tarpanas. This is the Chaturavritti Tarpana.
Sit comfortably on the ground. Keep your awareness at the junction or your seat and ground. Keep the
Ganapathy in front of you and the water to your right.
This sloka means: long life, health, wealth, strength, suppleness, fame, creativity and enjoyments
material and spiritual come from 444 tarpanas.
