Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Dear Kala Chandra, I also have a Shiva Lingam on my altar which I worship with Shiva mantras. When I worship Sri Ramakrishna, I repeat his mantra, and I also address him as, "Manifestation of Brahman, Manifestation of all the Gods and Goddesses." I like what Thakur told the little girl, Bhavatarini: "Have you seen Shiva?" I said, "Yes." He said, "If you like Him, then love Him." Then he asked, "Have you seen Kali?" I replied, "Yes." He said, "If you like Her, then love Her." Then he said, "Have you seen Krishna" . . .Rama? . . .Where have you seen Rama?" "In my mother's house," I replied. He said, "If you like Him, then love Him." Then he said, "If you like me, then love me." To me Sri Ramakrishna is the avatara of Pure Divine Love, Universal and unconditional Swaahaa!

I perform Shiva Puja in this Lingam every day. But My Istha is Sri Ramakrishna. So, I can perform Ramakrishna Puja in this Lingam ? With Shiva Mantra or Ramakrishna Mantra? > Thanks querida > > ty_maa <ds.james@c...> escreveu: > Namaste Holy Family, > > For those of us, myself included, who revere Sri Ramakrishna as the > Avatara of the modern age; the tradition is that He was a > manifestation of all the Gods and Goddesses, and, as such, any of the > deities can be worshipped through his form.
