The Puja Protocol Explained // SAHAJ TIMES PODCAST S3. E.10
Conclusion:
The order of elements:
ghee
honey
yogurt
milk
sugar
Little bit of water rinsing on each element
(21:35) ... you got the five elements. You got ghee, you got honey, you got yogurt, you got milk, and then you got sugar. And Shri Mataji added some saffron within the sugar. Okay. So, five elements, but the saffron was added a little bit. Now, when you poured the ghee and Shri Mataji would rub the ghee all over her hands, for example, would rub it everywhere. Now you know ghee has a way of penetrating onto your skin. So when you pour the honey then the honey just runs through. It doesn't become sticky and your hands will become all sticky and gooey and it's hard to wash off as well even with warm water and whatever. Yeah. So, the practicality is that you put ghee first and then the honey would run through and then you would have the yogurt where Mother would run it through. Little bit of water rinsing on each element and then after that you'd have the milk you know but finally you'll have the sugar. Now the sugar has the ability to take off all the ghee as well because she would rub it into her hands and the sugar would absorb with the saffron would absorb all the remaining ghee around and then when you wash it's all flown. So the practicality ... So that's the five elements and also the reasons why they are in that order.
