Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Namaste Barbara, Thanks for sharing your method, yours is a good idea too. (Thanks also to Alan Scherr for sharing the link to the Siva site for holy ash.) Just another example : When there is no ash around and I'm in a hurry: Use either sandalwood paste, sandalwood powder dipped with a drop of Ganga Jal and wait till my next yagya when offerings consist amongst other things: hibiscus, a mixture of herbs used also in Ayurveda and occasionally some semi-precious stones when they are affordable, etc.etc. It is not the size of the yagya that is important; it is the devotion and pure intent that matters.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hi Sy, I have read that one should smear the remnants of the offering to the Shivalinga on one's body, but I do not think that this is the same as wearing sacred ash. Both are different. I only used the incense to get some ash.
