Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Dear sir, The bhasma used for rudra abhisheka should be mixed with water (AFIK). The abhisheka with the last anuvaka of namaka patha ie, " tryambakam yajamahe .... " is done with bhasma mixed with water. As regards other sampradayas, it needs to be clarified. Usage of bhasma without water is generally not recommended as it becomes a tantrika worship (from a secondary source). Again this too needs to be clarified. with regs, sriram , " Venkataraman Rajaraman " <venkatswam wrote: > > Dear Sriram Ji > Thanks.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Usually, during ashoucha kalam or when a person hasn't taken bath, bhasma is not mixed with water and applied in the form of dust. sriram <sriram_sapthasathi wrote: Dear sir, The bhasma used for rudra abhisheka should be mixed with water (AFIK).
