Transcript from Sri Bhagavan on Preparing for Weekly Meditation Webcasts:

Your role is to feel helpless and my role is to raise your kundalini. Once the kundalini is raised, all things will naturally happen. You have been sufficiently programmed. For example, if you have sufficiently contemplated on the teaching given to you and then feel helpless, then when I raise your kundalini, that teaching will become your realization. If you have not done your homework, you may not get much. The kundalini will still rise, but would not give any great result. That's why we give you one week's time to contemplate on the teachings. You must almost commit it to memory. Then as you feel helpless, the moment you feel helpless I'll be able to raise your kundalini and the teaching will become your insight, your realization.

Notes for Proper Handling of Ritual Items

                              Contributed by Oneness Trainer, Maria Bernett
 
The Bhakti Yoga rituals are new to many in the West and it is helpful to have additional information so we can receive full benefit. The information below was confirmed by a guide at Oneness University.
 
For those who are doing Oneness Bhakti Yoga and home rituals, this is a good way to dispose of all the ritual offerings according to the Hindu tradition. This information has been given to me by Indian friends and Hindu priests over the years.
 
The proper disposal of ritual offerings ensures that a ritual like a Paduka Abisheikam, Puja, Archana, etc. will have maximum benefit. 
 
For flower disposal after they have dried on the altar, they should be placed outside on the ground in a place where people will not step on them, like behind bushes or behind a canyon (like where I live), or in running water, like a stream.
 
For the liquid offerings (milk, etc) do the same (if they cannot be consumed), but during the day when the sun's rays can absorb them.
 
For whole fruits and nuts, they should be shared and eaten as prasad (sacred food) as well as any other edible offerings. If cut fruits are in the liquid offerings and you can't eat or offer to others, then also dispose as above.
 
I use a disposable aluminum pan to do paduka abisheikam. I place a casserole dish (small baking pan) upside down on it and put the padukas on top. So when I pour milk, water, etc. it flows over the padukas and they are not soaking in the offerings.
 
It is best to use a brand new disposable pan (roasting pan) and casserole dish  that is small enough when turned upside down to hold the padukas and allow the offerings to flow down into it, and not ones that have already been used for cooking. Keep them only for this purpose.
 
After the padukas have been completely washed at the end of the ritual and have been removed, I take an empty gallon size plastic water bottle and pour all the liquid in it from a corner of the pan. You can even fold the corner of the pan a bit to create a lip for this purpose. If I don't have time to dispose of it properly at that moment, I keep it in the refridgerator until I do. Then I dispose as above during the day so the sun's rays can absorb it.
 
Padukas are consider sacred like a crucifix or an icon. Our own feet should not touch them. If they do then the padukas automatically belong to our own feet and not to the Divine's feet. Only padukas that have never been touched by human feet should be used for rituals or placed on altars.
 
Kindly note that per this ancient tradition, all offerings (flowers, milk etc) during a ritual should be offered with the right hand only. If showing Aarti (light with oil lamp) both hands can be used to hold the plate if it is large.
 
When you purchase the flowers or offer the petals during a ritual to the padukas or the Sri Murthi, the scent belongs to the Divine as well as the flower itself. For this reason, according to Hindu traditions, flowers that are offered in rituals are not smelled first, even when purchased.
 
The Bhakti Yoga participants are welcome to get petals that were offered during a bhakti ritual for their personal altars if they would like them. You can bring snack size plastic bags for this purpose. Please let them know how to dispose of the petals once they are dry so they will also get the full benefit of their own offering.
 
There are many resources on the web about these ancient traditions if you would like to explore more.
