Invocation
October 19, 2007
At the beginning of the five day yagya, the first day was spent doing pujas to invoke the various deities and to prepare the site for the days that followed. These beginning pujas took place in the first area that would later be used for the 100 priests at the end of the yagya.
After these pujas were completed, we took the various items, including the kalasha (water pot) and walked three times around the entire site. This is called pradakshina and is a traditional form of respect.
