Sai RAm,

As I understand Padukas are a symbol of the Feet of God. I attended a

puja many years ago, Quite by accident (sic) My roomate had no partner

for the Puja, So I was asked to join her.  To make a long story

short, I had burned all my photographs in yagna(sacred Fire) It was a

sacrifice that few understand nor have the heart to accept in releasing

past passion and obsession for expression.  I had given away my

camera years before.  When I arrived in India my mother was gracious

and gave me her camera. The first photo I had taken in many many years

were of the Padukas right after Swami blessed them. So I now have that

photograph.  Firstly, I don't believe they are a Hindu symbol/but

rather a symbol that transcends organized beliefs. I utilize the padukas

as a form of Surrender.  I have since been given back, photography

as an expression. The symbol of the Puja, for me, had more to do with

what one is willing to give up and be seen  and still unflinchingly

follow  the dictates of the spiritual heart.  One doesn't know

if one will be given back that which one gives up, but again the symbols

of padukas and the willingness to give up that which is loved, never to

receive or share that past expression.  Burning the photos was the

final act of surrender and release in a form of yoga. I had spent my

first twenty years taking photos of the globe, travelling around the

world. I didn't know the reward would be  a photograph of the

padukas.  Which is more valuable to me than any other photograph.

And compact enough to carry in my wallet.

Not bad for someone who had never heard of padukas until arriving at a

Puja, by accident(sic). Everyone gets there in their own way and the

expression of the Padukas can have many many meanings when one delves

deeper into the illusion of the material world. The reflection of worship

in a photograph.  He is great isn't He. Imagine touching them and

receiving Bliss, and it only being a photograph!!!!.
