I wanted to know if anyone had any idea where to get a grinding stone and logs for sandalwood. I'm not going to India anytime soon nor is anyone that I know. Any ideas?

Sun, October 7, 2007 - 1:45 AMThe shop @ Bhaktivedanta Manor sells the stones and sandalwood, quite reasonably priced too I'd say, the shop also does mail order: www.krishnatemple.com/shop/index.html. the items are not available online, but if you telephone / email and ask for Acharyavan Prabhu, the shop manager, he should be able to help.

I got mine from www.kalimandir.org
It cost $40 and came with a stick (your choice of red or white sandal). I think according to the CC, red sandal is prohibited for Vaishnava worship, although I know it is used in some south Indian temples like Guruvayoor, for adorning Lord Krsna...
Incidentally, I have visited this Kali temple in Laguna Beach, right before visiting the Panchatattva mandir there. It's an interesting place, and the people there are very nice...
Hari Hari!

Mon, November 26, 2007 - 3:51 AMOh one more thing, you can order additional sticks of sandal from that website also...and depending on their sizes, it ranges from $7-21 if I'm not mistaken... you can even call and order, or order through the website. Their staff are prompt and the orders are sent out in a timely fashion...
Hope this helps....
