So instead I write to thank you once more for this link. Wonderful information and very useful, thank you so much!
While I'm writing, I just found your thread on Abhishekam last night. Also a great thread, I must thank you for that as well. That thread is probably why I can't add some karma for you this morning.

Lol! Anandini ji, I felt so bad after posting the Abhishekam thread, as it turns out, abhishekam is mandated in our Agamas and really cannot be discontinued or reduced to 'water-only' abhishekas! Thanks to some good souls who revealed this to me, and the moderator for his kindness in not taking any action against me for that thread! As some good people opine, millions of dollars are getting wasted every year in US and around the world both at govt-level and individual-level, why not bathe our deities with an heartfelt-amount of 'dhravya'? One good and knowledgeable member wrote to me,
1 Trillion USD is more than sufficient to change every indian life and here is a simple math...
128 Crore people = 1.28 billion individuals
60% are poor = 1.28 * 0.6 = 0.768 billion poor individuals
1 Trillion = 1000 billion
1 USD = INR 60
1 Trillion USD = 60 * 1000 = INR 60000 Billion
So, now 1 poor individual of the country can enjoy his share amount of
1 Poor Share = 60000/0.768 = INR 78125 per Trillion Spent!
Indian defense budget is 47 Trillion USD and go figure yourself why such big expenditure cannot eradicate the human problems of poverty?
Like said above, when one India is capable of investing so much in its space programs, while having the potential instead to device plans for the upliftment of its poor using the same money instead, why a trivial 'abhishekam' should matter to us? After all, it makes better sense to use the materials which were created by the Lord for us...! Or so I think now...
Thanks for writing to me. So sweet of you, when I want reputation points I am going to ask you next!
Thanks & Regards,
Viraja
