PURPORT

The Vedic way of receiving a great personality creates an atmosphere of respect which is saturated with affection and veneration for the person received. The auspiciousity of such reception depends on the paraphernalia described above including conchshell, flowers, incense, decorated elephants and the qualified Brahmins reciting verses from the Vedic literatures. Such programme of reception is full of sincerity both on the part of the receiver and the received concerned.
