Day 3 Shiva Puja class Q/A feedback/clarification Namaste to all: (

and a special for Nanda for answering all my technical questions.

Thank you.) Henny said:Q: The Rudri text appears to be incorporated

in a puja, and instead of the offerings of items, the text is offered

in recitation between the two times japa. So, is it necessary to do a

full beginner's Shiva puja again after reciting the Rudri book, or

should I include offering the items from the Shiva puja book in my

Rudri recitation?A: Upon closer look at the introduction

mantras to the Rudri I noticed it does not contain the mantras for the

purification of the water and flowers(see page 13-16 Beginner Shiva

puja book.) My suggestion would be to first follow the beginner

shiva puja book then recite the Rudri starting from Chapter 1. You

could do arati after the puja or after the Rudri. If you are doing

both shiva puja beginner and the Rudri in one asan then you could

follow the sankalpa from the Rudri:

"sri siva kaamah puja karmaaham srii sukla yajurvediiya

rudraastaadhyaayi karishye"Vasantha asked:I have a question on the

dhyanam. Can you please help me break outthis word into something

easier to pronounce? This one is quite an

eyeful.aghorebhyottaghorebhyoghoragheratarebhyahSwamiji said: one way

to break up the sanskrit would be to recite: aghorebhyot taghorebhyo

ghoraghe ratarebhyahHope this helps. Om namah shivaaya.Grace said::I

was wondering if you could put all the posts into one file for this

course that we are now taking. If possible it would a great service

as the questions and answers of all are so helpful.A: Yes, we will

certainly do

that.Zach great to hear you received your Shiva puja since I was the

one that mailed it to you. Glad you got many of your questions

clarified from the shiva puja class on file. Good going Nanda!As you

start to do the puja don't hesitate to ask any questions.Berijoy

asked, "Are we going to learn the Rudri?"A: We will be having

discussions on the Rudri after the expanded puja class finishes.To

Vishveswar: You wrote a beautiful post on your Shiva puja experience.

Nanda, you didn't do to badly either.
