Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Dear Shiv bhakts Om Namah Shivaya . I am Nagendra from Bangalore . and i would like to seek some clarifications regarding a shiva temple that my guru-brothers are building in gujrat. 1. Is there any difference b/w prathista and prana prathista of idols (are there 2 muhurtams ?) 2. what is the sequence of prana prathista for idols in a temple 3. is prana prathista done after the idol has been placed (prathista). 4. is there a concept where the eyes of the idols are closed and are opened (sculputre) after prana prathista is done. and most imporatntly is prana parthista of shiv ling done ? and that of a shiva idol (not a lingam) in brief i would be highly obliged if you could enlighten me about this subject of prana prathista of idols in a temple , there are too many differing voices with regards nagendraDeepa H <debu7366 wrote: There's A Reason There's a reason for everything occurring in your life, for the tears, the sorrow, the pain, and the strife. A reason that isn't always revealed to you and me, but that God knows and cares is an absolute reality. There's a reason the road isn't always smooth and straight, a reason about which there's no debate. The stumbling blocks will become stepping stones through faith, if we but trust in God learning to wait. The curves will reveal Blessings we couldn't see, things more awesome than we dreamed would ever be. Perhaps there are things we ask God to take; in His great wisdom He knows that would be a mistake. Sometimes His "No" is a Blessing in disguise, because there is good in what we don't see or realize. There'll be days when we feel all soul alone; these are the days when our greatest faith must be shown. We must learn to walk by faith not by what we feel or see, remembering He is with us constantly. We must remember that even when no one else understands, God is forever busy shaping us in His hands. One day soon we'll each be called Home to stay, we want to "Well Done" to be the words we hear God say. Each of us will have days that seem out of season, we must remember if God allows it there's a reason. ©March 23, 2007 Barbara Philbrook "Gurur Brahma Gurur VishnuGurur Devoh Maheshwar;Gurur Shakshat ParambramhaTashmai Shri Gurur Veh Namah"May the Merciful Sri Sai Baba always shower His grace on us and our families and remove our problems and anxieties by giving us all - strength , goodluck, success and happiness with peace of mind.Sai bhakt,Deepa Hdebu7366 Looking for earth-friendly autos?
