Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 OM NAMASHIWAYA Dear Guru Ji, Namaskar. Please kindly permit us to know the way to light a lamp in a pooja room. Normally we keep two lamps on either side of the deity picture and light it; is it correct? Or we should keep one lamp and light it. With respects.
