"Holding beholding Vibhuti Wonder"
Home signs & miracles Vhibuti A B C D E F G H I J K
Baba sometimes performs Consecration or ceremonial bath for the silver
figure of His "previous body" which is kept at the temple. A small wooden
pot, artistically carved and painted, is filled with Vibhuti for this
purpose. Holding it overturned above the image, Baba puts His Hand into
the vessel in order to ensure an even flow of Sacred Ash. By contact with
His Hand, the flow of Vibhuti continues long after the quantity originally
produced is exhausted. Twirl after twirl brings down fresh showers of
Vibhuti from the receptacle until the image is emerged in the fragrant
powder, and the Ash mounts to unexpected heights. Finally Baba puts the
wooden pot away, out of sheer physical exhaustion, so to say!
