We had a great class last week with the students exploring the concepts underlying a ‘Puja’. The 5 element model describes the relationship between the individual and the Universe. This relationship is one of Unity, consisting of the the same elements – Akash, Vayu, Agni, Apah, and Prithvi – Space, Air, Fire, Water and Earth. From the most subtle to the most gross. And we use 5 symbols to capture that understanding – Flowers, Incense, Lamp, Naivedya & Sandalwood.
