Henny, specifically, strictly speaking, we are talking of

“Gandhapushpe†which means “scented flowersâ€, so the “real

deal†is to get good aromatic flowers, BUT we have used artificial

flowers to decorate some of the altars at the Mandir – as sometimes

we have to make do with what we have.

Dear Nanda ~ unless I am remembering incorrectly, there is another

possibility. When I saw Swamiji do the homa in Colorado, he said

(parphrase), if you don't have flowers, imagine taking a flower from

your heart for each eta gandhapushpe. If I am wrong, please let the

other know. Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
