321--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI-- Anushthana

[Guest guest]

Question from Jami: (Original sent to Swamiji, condensed version

posted here)

What are tarpana and marjana, and how would they be performed ?

 

Nanda adds on:

Can you please let us know the difference between Anushthana and

Purascharana. Thank you

 

Swamiji's response:

Marjana is the cleaning of the deity.

Anushthana is any sankalpa over a prolonged period of time.

Purascharana is offering at the homa fire.
