Q&A with Swamiji .....279...More on establishing a pot

[Guest guest]

Question from Rajan:

What is the meaning and reason for having and establishing a Kalash?

 

Swamiji's response:

Please listen to the full class on prana pratishtha in either the

Shiva Puja or Cosmic Puja. In short, the kalash or pot is the

container of all the bhava, all the devotion, all the consciousness,

we wish to give to the deity. We fill the pot with all the goodness

from the samsara, even give up our negativities, and then close it

with a coconut, enliven it with prana pratishtha, and worship it as

the embodiment of divinity. This practice will train us to see all

that we choose as the embodiment of God.
