We are vegetarians, so we worship the Goddess who takes away Darkness by offering our animalistic tendencies: kam, krodh, moha, etc.... For intoxicating spirit we offer the nectar of pure devotion." SWAMIJI SATYANANDA SARASWATI KI JAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bow to You a thousand times! Jai Maa Kaali! dissolving in Maa's Holy Love, muktimaa > > Question from Rajan: > There is a mention that on 28th there is a kali puja coming up. Do you make the tantrik offerings at devi mandir. Specifically Sacrificial offering and alcohol? (I know there is a sense of uneasiness in this area)Is there any detrimental effects of offering liquor or sacrificial animal. > Do we offer Kali Scotch or Vodka, Clear or red spirits. > > > Swamiji's response: > Worship is organized according to the three gunas or qualities of nature: Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. Tamasic worship causes harm to someone else. Rajasic worship brings about personal enjoyment. Sattvic worship aims at self purification. > > We try to worship in the Sattvic tradition.
