RE: Hanuman ..................Qstn(2)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Will someone  please explain what these are: bhupura, dvivalya, and

pancha-mukhi Hanuman?  I didn't know there was a cd for Hanuman puja,

good to know.  It goes on my wish list.  I also have a Hanuman yantra

and would love to learn more about it.

 

Many thanks,

Maureen

RE: Hanuman

Jai Hanuman,    Birthday coming up: April 4th...Hanuman Jayanti...also

a full moon that day...very auspicious! Swamiji, do you happen to know

about the Hanuman Yantra? I have the form...in fact a couple of them,

both with 8 petal lotus and different bhupuras...but, I can find no

information about color of bhupura or central circle...one of the

yantras has, also, a dvivalya....I am figuring that the colors would

be close to Durga Yantra...oranges and reds, because of Hanuman's

nature, but I'm not at all sure (especially since I once saw one of

these yantras and the colors were red, white and blue!!!..but it was

in a Western context so I wasn't sure about its accuracy). I am

hoping to begin a yantra practice with puja leading up to his

birthday...I am "planning" to make a pancha-mukhi Hanuman in the

center (where the bindu is). Any information??? I'd love ANY

information about Hanuman...I have the puja CD and book (thanks,

Swamiji). Could you suggest any books about color relating to

yantras? I have the Madhu Kanna book and some others...the color

infomation, though, is difficult to find..I'm a painter so this is a

wonderful practice for me.  I also have another question...a few days

ago, a puja was described to Ramakrishna, using the Shiva Puja

(beginner's book) as the basis for a puja for Sri Ramakrishna. I was

really struck by this and wondered if, for instance, I could do puja

to Nityananda Avadhuta in this manner??? Thanks for you help.Namaste

to all,sadhvi
