To Dharmavidya on Questions about Murtis

Can I do prana pratishta myself, no brahmin beingaround to perform it.

And how would I proceed for murtis of Shiva,Ganesha, Krishna and

Lakshmi? What are the mantras and so on? I know it's the heart's

attitude that counts in one's relation to thegods but somehow I feel

this need for prana pratishta, probably causeit is the traditional

way to install murtis on an altar.

Dear Dharmavidya ~ I don't know if you are new to the group, but your

name is a bit unfamiliar to me, so perhaps you are. In any case, if

you are new, welcome, and if you're not new to the list, I thank you

for bringing to the fore so many concepts that are new to me.

What is prana pratishta? The other answers will come from whoever

answers your own questions. Again, thanks and blessings ~ Linda
