Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Yes, we can perform prana pratishtha on a picture, a pot, a yantra, in the fire, on a flower, or wherever we want to establish divinity. Some divine objects should have visarjana performed before moving them after prana pratishtha has been performed. That means withdrawing the prana. If you move the Shiva Lingam every morning to bathe it, then replace it, perform prana pratishtha, and then in the night perform visarjana. That would be a complete paddhoti. , "Latha Nanda" <lathananda> wrote: > I saw one of Swamiji's responses regarding Prana Pratishtha - is it > true that we can do Prana Pratishtha on a picture , not necessarily > on a murti ? > > I worship a lingam, should I do prana pratishtha on the lingam ?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 Namaste ALL esp Swamiji, In rereading about Prana Pratishtha (establishing life), a few questions arose. Can we establish divinity on more than one thing in our home? If we establish divinity on a flower, what do we do when the flower dies? Is it ok to throw it away or is there a special way to do that?
