Query

[Guest guest]

Respected members,

 

I wish to ask a question. Two or three days ago, because of my

carelessnes a devi picture caught fire in my pooja sthana. I

actually had two pictures of the same form and was unsure of whether

i wanted to keep this or not. However, i was depressed about this.

Even more so, because a part of a picture of "shiv parvati with

ganesh" which is very dear to me was slightly charred. While shiva

and ganesh look untouched, Ma gouri's left hand is slightly burned.

i am heartbroken about this.

i am aware that it is not advisable to keep burnt/ broken pictures

in the pooja room. However, i am not in India and it is not easy to

find a replica (which i badly want), not even a replacement. What am

i supposed to do? Disperse the picture in water immediately? Or can

i keep it out of the pooja room till I make a trip to india and find

another one? or can i continue to use this picture for chanting to

shiv parvati? also, is there a prayschit, or such a thing for this

inauspocious happening??

 

thanks and regards,

suppose your mother's or daughter's hands got burn't, will you throw her into

water? or would you take her to hospital and get it treated?

 

If you are in the habit of throwing away your near and dear ones just because

they got hurt, then throw away the pic.

 

And you had two pics of the same so one got destroyed so that your dilema of

which one to keep is solved.

 

Get someone who is tech savy to repair the pic, scan and repair. If not just let

me know what the pic is and I will see whether I can get a copy here and mail it

to you.

 

It is the unnecessary fears that cause trouble. When you have fear it acts as a

badha. The prayaschita is to be fearless.

dear kadambari devi,

it is said that one should not worship a

mutilated moorthi.and since the left hand is burnt i think it is wise

to do visarjana with the correct procedure and place a new photo in

ur pooja place.it is said that having the two pictures of same

diety ,two shiva linga and two moorthis of same diety can bring

daridhratha(bad luck) to the house.i think u can get the photo of

shiva gauri and ganapthi on the net with a few searches.or u can

install their seperate pictures with their respective yantras.prann

pratishtith yantras are available from mantra shakti kendra ,jodhpur

and prann pratishtitth photos are also available here.go to

www.siddhashram.org

for details.

Namskar Sri Menon ji,

suppose your mother's or daughter's hands got burn't, will you throw

her into

water? or would you take her to hospital and get it treated?

 

If you are in the habit of throwing away your near and dear ones

just because

they got hurt, then throw away the pic.

 

--I raised this issue because i know of Ramkrishna pramhansa

repairing the famous kali moorti by his spiritual powers, after it

was damaged.

 

And you had two pics of the same so one got destroyed so that your

dilema of which one to keep is solved.

 

--na, there was no delima -i did not want the one which was burnt.

 

Get someone who is tech savy to repair the pic, scan and repair. If

not just let

me know what the pic is and I will see whether I can get a copy here

and mail it

to you.

 

 

--Thank you very much for your kindness.

 

It is the unnecessary fears that cause trouble. When you have fear

it acts as a badha. The prayaschita is to be fearless.

 

 

--yes, you are right. Thanks again for your reply. I got my

answers/directions in prayers today. There is no reason to worry.

Infact, if i am not my damned fool self, this can be very auspicious.

 

regards,
