what do you think about this mercury from Karnataka?
Guruji: it’s an amalgam maked with tin. Combination of certain metal with mercury.
and for what they use it?
Guruji: to impress people and make money. How much you pay for it? Fifty rupees? Not expensive. I’ve seen many of such type. It maybe harmful if you’ll use it in your mouth, it’s not pure enough. Real purified mercury you can not buy in market.
is it useful for health?
Guruji: it is useful to impressing the tourists. Everything has some use.
maybe it could be used in some spiritual things?
Guruji: it’s not so value. Solidified mercury is supposed to be extraordinary thing. Many people just learn how to make the combination with the certain metal which is low in quality. I can teach you if you want. You can start selling it anywhere.
in our country mercury is prohibited for free sale
Guruji: so if you want to free shelter and food you just start to sell it – and government will take care of you( laughing)
I was at your puja yesterday and I want your explanations about it
Guruji: it’s a private affair. I’m not a religious teacher. But I follow our tradition as best as I can. Many people told me – that was unusual to them. So what is your opinion?
I have nothing to compare
Guruji: it’s better that way. We are not open for public and for tourists also – it’s absolutely personal thing. Only my friends and disciples can be there, that’s it. Now it will be nearly 18 years we are doing it continuously.
