Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 sunder-ji! for some strange reason, although You are talking about the 'formless '( nirakriteh) one ... your verse reminded me of this verse from Lingashtakam ! Kumkuma Chandana Lepitha Lingam Pankaja Haara Sushobhitha Lingam Sanchitha Paapa Vinaashaka Lingam Tat Pranamaami Sadaa Shiva Lingam I bow before that Sada Shiva Linga, which is smeared with saffron and sandal paste, which is decorated with lotus garlands and which wipes out all accumulated sins. Why so? does this have something to do with one's bhava in Sadhna !

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Namaste, This ashtakam relates to the 'pArthiva' or mUrti pUjA. That is why the disciple is asking the questions how to perform the 'mAnasa pUjA' of the Formless One. The Teacher's answers will come in due course.
