Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Barbabra, Do not get confused by anything. Do not compare it to any boogie or woodo stuff.. because these are the completely established fundamentals since ancient times, within a super-scientific and maturely civilized society. The waving lamp in clockwise direction, and saying words is commonly found in India. They are different types- Shlokas, Aarti, Mantras, etc. In Hindustan you will see, in almost all the hindu families, it is done regularly at morning or evening by family members. But for some special ocasion or fullfillment of some special missions, the Priests are invited to do all the rituals and chants. They are the Sacred chants of praising and admiration of gods. Mostly they are written in Sanskrit language. Many scripts are translated by the regional Devine masters in the past, in territorial languages, so that common people can understand them and say them. As well as, the phrases are designed in such a way that the waves created, affects the surrounding and the induviduals, positively and brings down the blessings of the deity associated to that prayer. Different design of affect different purposes, differently. Showing lamp, mostly burning Camphor in a small tray is a reward between the individuals and god. Camphor evaporates completely without leaving any traces when burned. It represents the burning of unmanifested desires and egos. ))) sincerely Ketan. , j <barbjs> wrote: > > Dear Narasimhaye, > > Thanks for telling me what this is called.

The words just flow naturally, and I don't seem to be making them up. Sometimes, I turn round and round in a circle, singing. What am I doing?

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Thanks Ketan, Not coming from a Hindu family, though, it is harder for me to know. I'm glad that other people sing spontaneously when doing puga. I think that I have never burned camphor, but I will try it. I did make a camphor Shivalinga once, though, out of a block of camphor, but it dissolved when I poured things on it.
