Abishekam
August 15, 2007
During a yagya there are a series water pots (Kalasha) into which the form of divinity being honored is invoked at the beginning of the pujas each day. So we had 10 pots which were decorated with fresh flower malas every day. On the last day the priests took the water pots and poured the contents over us one by one. It is one of the most profoundly cleansing experiences that I know. Oddly enough afterwards you feel 10 years younger.
