Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Question from Ruchi : What does it mean to give life to a deity. Swamiji's response : The process of giving life to the deity is called Prana Pratishtha. It means breathing your soul into the deity so that the deity becomes a reflection of a living God or Goddess. It is performed through a specific set of mantras and kriyas. Question from Ruchi : Is it true that negative effect is created when offerings are not made. Swamiji's response : When we don't offer it means that we seek to horde for our own selfish enjoyment. That creates a negative effect.
