Many ceremonies and
festival celebrations, as well as darshans and meditations, are
held in Amma Bhagavan's Oneness Temple. The Kalash
Puja (prayer) is just one example.
It's a long ceremony
promoting health and vitality, conducted by Cosmic Beings in the
Temple, so this viewing is divided into three
videos. Acharya Samadarshiniji, one of the Oneness
University's senior dasas, tells how to participate in this puga in
your own home.
From the Oneness
Temple, Sri Samadarshini Tells
How to Conduct the Kalash Puga at Home
The traditional Kalash puga
pot is copper and filled with water, a ring of mango leaves,
and topped with a coconut. The one at the right was used in
the Oneness Temple ceremony.
It isn't absolutely
necessary to have an official copper Kalash pot when conducting the
puga at home. Just use a clean glass or bowl filled with
water.

I remember being sprinkled with sacred water from
a puga ceremony at the Oneness University, dripped from mango
leaves as shown in the latter part of the above video. It
felt like I was being hit with droplets of liquid
fire! --P.
