Kalasha Arati - Concluding the Kalasha Stapana
After gently placing a mala on the stupika , Mother takes a brass
lamp of burning camphor in Her right hand and a brass bell in Her
left.
With these She performs arati to
the new stupika, finishing the ceremonies by anointing the
crown of Her new temple. Then, in profound stillness, She meditates.
Seen from on high Mother and Her stupika appear to be the centre
of a grand mandala with the roof railing forming the first
ring, then the orange temple roof, then an open space, the
final ring being the thatched roofs erected to shade the devotees
from the sun.

In Her position of prominence in the heart of this mandala,
Mother, still seated, bows low, and places Her hands and forehead
on the base of the stupika
. Ever humility embodied, She stays
bent for some time, and we who watch can only look on in awe
and wonder.
