Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hariom, I have till now not come upon any shastra aadhara or pramana for such puja. Infact I have noticed this thing to be a growing phenomenon wherein many devotees mainly women, light these lemon lamps in temples spoiling the flooring and littering the premises therein. I have come across a minor work in tantra shastra called "Gowri Rahasya", which speaks of lemon representing Gowri. The practices of adorning deities with lemons in Tamilnadu might be attributed to this fact. However I am yet to see any logic in doing so. As regards Dhaneshwari Pooja, which seems to be a new goddess in trend nowadays, I would request the learned memebers of this list who propogate the same, to furnish me details of works which mentions about this goddess. In my 2 cents opinion, I think it is better to stick to time tested pathslaid down by great acharyas like Shankara and follow the method of worship laid therein.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Hi all: I do not think this lemon thing or dhaneshwari pooja to be newfangled. There are umpteen grandhas giving various rituals. Some one may prescribe one of these not so common practice to an individual who will get resuly and tjhat person will propagate it as a panaesia for everything, and in the present when where every one is beset with problems it spreads like wildfire in the age of TV internet and phone. I have read in some text long ago of making use of inside outside turned alves of lemon and using it as a lamp. In our belief system not only shaastra aadhara counts but also upadesha.
