Guest guest Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 Namaste Jay Dayal, Jai Durga! The establishment of the pot is called the kalasa sthaapana. The establishment of the pot begins with "touch the earth" and ends with the hymn of the establishment of life(praana pratisthaa suktaa). We use a coconut for the fruit. The following offerings go on the coconut so that by the end of the puja your coconut looks like the Goddess. These are the offerings that go on the coconut: red powder,(sinhu) kum kum (also red powder) sandle paste or powder tumeric powder(haldi or yellow powder) scent bath(perfume your choice) water bath (little ganges water, can sprinkle water from your puja) cloth(on top of coconut and hangs down the sides) sacred thread( nine threads) rudraksha bead maala(rudraksha or other) rice(sprinkle a few grains of raw rice on top and around) flower garland flower You will also make charanamrit(5 nectar bath) 1. milk. 2. yogurt. 3. ghee. 4. honey 5. sugar This will be mixed together into a small bowl.The bowl should be new or only used for puja. Add a drop of rose water for (scented oil). You can follow the directions in the book for the rest of the puja. See "lelihaana mudra" picture and recite the mantras. Hope this helps a little. If you have more questions please ask. Parvati , "Jay Dayal" <dayals@c...> wrote: > Latah Ji > > The establishing of the pot is Kalash sthapna? Is it same? > > How do we establish the pot BTW?

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Namaste Jay Dayal, Swamiji suggests when you establish a Kalash and perform puja to follow the order of the offerings as listed for the establishment of the pot. Swamiji makes the 5 nectar offering (milk, yogurt, ghee, honey, sugar) in a small bowl. You do not have to make this offering two times. Swamiji said you could give the madhuparka bath to Devi later in the puja (yogurt,honey, ghee). You will find this in the Cosmic puja book (pg.222) You are right that there are some repetitions. Hope this helps to clarify some of your questions.
