Even the drums and musical instruments used in the sacred chanting are considered transcendentalized. Therefore it is an ancient tradition that before performing the Sankirtana-yajna , the devotees offer flower garlands and sandalwood pulp to the mrdanga drums, kartala cymbals and to the devotees participating in the sacrifice of chanting the Hare Krishna mahä-mantra. The ceremonial drums and cymbals are worshiped as they are used exclusively in the sacrifice of chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna , Krishna Krishna , Hare Hare/ Hare Räma, Hare Räma, Räma Räma, Hare Hare, and thus they are considered as sacred paraphernalia of the sacrifice.
