Kali's Establishing of a pot

[Guest guest]

Hi Kali,

You know your question could be taken in two ways. I'd like to see

you establish a Pot, while out of the body! Seriously, though,

in our tradition we often do simple Pujas using framed photos of our

Gurus, relatives, and others (dead and alive) with all of the regular

offerings of the puja to include their favorite color of cloth,

favorite foods, etc. I think the installation of a Pot (a symbolic

representation of the deity using a coconut or other large fruit)

which would represent one's Guru, dead or alive, may have other

significant implications. I think this question could best be served

by forwarding it to Swamiji for consideration. I would be interested

in his experience or knowledge of such a practice in formal worship.

Ever curious, Kamala.

Hi Kamala,

 

You got me there, I was only thinking from the point of view of

the "serious" part of your explanation. It would be great to hear

Swamiji's view on this.

 

Thanks sis,

 

Kali
