ALTAR
SET - UP |
|
A
dispenser (called uddharana or a simple metallic spoon) to dispense
water from the tumbler will be needed. You will need a piece of
cloth, white for a male deity and colorful cloth for a Goddess.
Now you are ready to begin. Light the
lamps and a couple of agarbattis. Keep them safely in the vicinity
such that they present no hazard.
Direct the agarbatti smoke towards
the altar such that the smoke does not cause discomfort with
chanting by the assembled. You must realize that in a few moments
you will be invoking and receiving a godhead and therefore the
principal mood should be one of joy and bhakti, but the mind should
be relaxed. Make sure nothing starts until you are certain that a
pleasant, sincere, reverential, relaxed environment is created to
fill yourselves with joy as you begin to surrender to the Godhead
through worship. |
