Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I have found that the best way to dry out flower petals is to let the air get to them - put them in a shallow bowl or on a plate. I once put them in a covered bowl on my puja and it ruined all the flowers in there. Jai Ma!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Namaste, An old crafting trick of mine is to dry out flowers/petals in the microwave. It doesn't take long at all. Put the petals inbetween two sheets of paper towel and put something on top as a weight (anything that will not blow up in the nuker). Microwave them on high for a few seconds at a time (10-15) until they are dry. Best of luck!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 I am not sure it is a good idea to apply any kind of heat to any prasad. There is shakti in flowers, coconut, tulsi leaves that they give us in temples or in Amma's programs. Microwaving it would be like heating the shakti. I just leave my flowers on my puja and store them when they are dry or throw them out - bury them in a place where man and animal dont walk or throw them in a flowing stream - like they do in temples. I have seen Indians make coconut chutney with the coconut they give us in temples. It is never put in food that is heated.
