Guest guest Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I've seen some pujari's make a conch out of their sipping hand by placing the index and middle finger tips to the base of the thumb, with pinkie and ring fingers extended, then sip from the "heel" of your hand (wrist side). I've found it a bit difficult with this mudra, but still sip from the heel of the hand so it's less messy. tom , "parv108" <parv108> wrote: > Dear Linda, > First you pour a little water into your right hand, sip it and > swallow.
