409--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI-- More on the Dhuni -Surya

[Guest guest]

i second your comments Surya. i am amazed when i think about the

positive impact that these two people, who i have never physically

met, have had on my path and continued spiritual growth. Swamiji is

a rare treasure. JAI SIVA/SHAKTI=SWAMIJI/SHREEMAA thank you both.

to hear (though I know you all know this already anyway) how

incredibly and continually impressed I am with Swamiji and his

answers. He is an absolute treasure of knowledge, very rare even

amongst all the Indian sadhus I have encountered--which have been

more than a few. His answers are never more verbose than they need

to be and they show such a seat of authority and great clarity.

I stay silent often but it is a daily part of my life and a great

resource for me in my own development of wisdom and furtherment of

Bhakti.

subject (though I want to become very educated on it), I have a

follow up question to your answer. Do the "prescribed ingredients"

include how to make the Dhuni? If so, where do I find this or what

is the description? I had thought that probably only the things to

be offered were prescribed

offered, but also the utensils by which they are offered, as well as

the temples in which they are offered. This includes everything from

the asana that we sit on and in (remember the Guru Gita discussion),

the clothing that the devotee wears, the types of sruva, srak,

chempta, the list is endless. That is why traditionally this process

was learned in the Guru Kul, living with the family of the guru.
