Q&A with Swamiji .....79...Moving the Goddess

[Guest guest]

Question from Karen:

 

For Christmas, I received a very beautiful statue of Lakshmi,

whom I consider my Ishta Devata. Swamiji, you had kindly given

me instructions for the establishment of life in my deity, and she

occupies a lovely altar.

However, Mike and I have are in process of making the best room

in our house into a temple room. In a few weeks, I want to move

my Lakshmi to this temple room. How do I do that? Do I need to

somehow remove life and reestablish it? Her new altar is only

about 30 feet from her current one. Can you please help advise ?

Thank you so very much !

 

Swamiji's response :

 

 

Yes, that is exactly the process. In The Shiva Advanced Book at the

end of the homa, you will find Visarjana Mantras. Recite those

mantras, and with Kshamasya, pick up a flower from in front of the

deity and hold it to your heart. You have just removed the energy

from the deity and put it into your heart, from where you can

establish it again after you move her to her new location.

 

Latha adds in :

There is a movie clip of the Visarjana mudra in the Files section,

if anyone is interested.

I watched that movie over and over again and could not figure out how Swamiji did it.
