To Nanda on Q & A about prana pratishta and bijas

[Guest guest]

Nanda posted:

Question from Henny:Can I do prana pratishta myself, no brahmin being

around 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 the gods

but somehow I feel this need for prana pratishta, probably cause it

is the traditional way to install murtis on an altarSwamiji's

response:Use the mantras from the prana pratishtha in the Cosmic

Puja, and then add the bija mantras for each deity.

Dear Nanda ~ I have a follow-up question. Perhaps you will know the

answer, and if not, can ask Swamiji. Is there one place where one can

find all the bija mantras for these dieties?

Blessings and thanks ~ Linda
