Hello everyone i am new to this forum and i am a hindu living in california. My parents are originally from Fiji Islands, and 2 generations back are from varanasi/india. I have been studying guyanese culture alot lately nd it seems that guyanese and fiji culture is the same as we are all from the same area of india and all were brought from india as indentured servants. Some of us may even be long lost relatives!
Well I am a bhakt of devi maa. as she is my spiritual mother and my lineage is of brahmin caste, i have also been had my janeu/gurmukh pooja or initiation done.
So my grandparents did alot of pooja and i am trying to keep up with the tradition. One tradition i remember my grandmother performing is Devi Mata Ke dhaar.
I would like to get some info on how to make dhaar and what is the proper procedure so that i can offer this to my divine mother during the upcoming navratam.
What i am told is as follows please let me know if this is correct/incorrect. Thanks you very much.
JAI MAHA KALI MAI KE!
One bucket/lota of water
mix equal portions of haldi/sugar/kapoor
also mix in 9 pairs of lawang
couple pieces of Dhoop/durwa grass
and also mix red flower petals.
pour onto the dirt and pray maha devi ma for anything u wish.
IS THIS CORRECT? PLEASE LET ME KNOW,THANKS.
JAI SIA RAM
