MURTI PUJA |
|
| Pran pratistha
is the technique that brings the life energy to the murti. Differents mantras invoke different energy fields (devta) in to a particular murti. The dispersion of the energy is limited by the small doors as entry and exit. The dome shape of the top helps reverberate the chanting of mantra and purifies the space, mind and body of the temple and individuals. The ghee lamp, the fixed times of aarti and puja all that is part of a science and not a false fixed belief. Many examples have been used in this book to try to convey our meanings. They are simplistic models and should be taken as such. The whole basis of idol worship or murti pooja is the relationship between the mind and the cosmic mind. |
