Dhuni ceremony都尼火典

(see below for Chinese中文请见下方)

The Dhuni ceremony is a holy fire ritual devoted to Shiva and Agni, the Lords of Fire. The ritual is celebrated by persons ordained as fire priests who are the guardians of the spiritual fires of the earth and can light these fires for mankind in the outside.

The Dhuni fire connects the fire of the earth with the fires of heaven. This creates a passage flow that helps us to open ourselves consciously to our own spiritual being and our own path. Everything old hindering us to follow our path can be surrendered to the fire in love and devotion.

We are cleansed in the presence of the fire sacrifice and connected to the holy fire. In our devotion to the fire we experience the power of our own inner fire. Moreover, the Dhuni ceremony has a transforming and cleansing effect for the whole region.

Dhuni rules

The participants of the Dhuni ceremony express their devotion to the fire by clean clothing, washed hands and rinsed mouth. Outside the Dhuni place a water bowl is provided for cleaning.

If Agni himself is present it is him who intones the singing of the mantra "Om Namah Shivaya". Otherwise the Dhuni leader intones the mantra. One after the other the participants of the Dhuni ceremony file to the Dhuni place.

Before entering the Dhuni place every participant is marked on the forehead with the Agni’s sign of fire and on the heart with Vibhuti ash. The golden Agni sign stands for the dominance of the Holy Spirit over the matter. The marking in itself is already a blessing that prepares us for the fire.

After this, all participants form a circle around the Dhuni fire. The Dhuni leader blesses the Masters of the Light, the participants and the whole place. When the leader stops singing "Om Namah Shivaya" everyone also stops. The leader then says, "We bow to the Lords of Fire“ and all participants bow before the Lords of Fire. Then the leader recites the mantra "Om Namah Shivaya" once and all participants repeat it.

After this, all participants leave the place. Those who prepared the Dhuni ceremony are the last to leave.

Depending on the number of participants the Dhuni ceremony takes 15 minutes or longer.

The Dhuni ceremonies take place at dawn. Enrolling for participation in the Dhuni ceremonies is necessary.

都尼火典

都尼火典是献给湿婆及火神阿格尼的神圣典礼，由被任命为「火祭司」的人来执行。火祭司是地球的灵性之火的守护者，能为人们点燃这些火，让它们形于外在而可见。

都尼之火连结地球之火与天堂众火，形成一个帮助我们有意识地对自己的道路及灵性本质开放的流动通道。前进于自己的道路上，所有牵绑我们的旧有事物，都能在爱与臣服中交付于火中。

在火的献祭中，我们得以净化自己并连结圣火；在对火的臣服中，我们体验到自己内在之火的力量。都尼火典甚至对整个区域都有转化及净化的效果。

都尼规则

都尼火典的参加者以整洁的衣着、漱口、洗手来表达他们对火的虔诚，都尼之地之外会有水盆供人洗手。

若阿格尼本人在场，会是由他开始吟唱「Om Namah Shivaya」的咒语， 否则便由都尼的带领人开始吟唱咒语。都尼仪式的参与者排队一一进入都尼之地。

在进入都尼之地前，每个参加者的额头都会被画上阿格尼的火符号，心画上圣灰。金色的阿格尼符号代表圣灵凌驾物质，画符号的本身已经是祝福，为我们做好准备迎接火。

接着，所有参加者绕着都尼的火围成一个圈圈，带领人祝福光之主、参加者及整个都尼之地。当带领人停止唱「Om Namah Shivaya」时，每个人也要停下来。然后带领人说：「我们对众火神顶礼。」，所有参加者便在众火神前顶礼。之后带领人念颂「Om Namah Shivaya」的咒语一次，所有人跟着念一次。

在此之后，所有参加者离开此地，准备都尼火典的人最后离开。

视参加人数而定，都尼火典须时15分钟或更长。

都尼火典在黎明时举行，参与都尼火典需要事先报名。
