Your view has to be qualified. You are correct as long as you are referring

to informal worship, such as a mAnasa puuja or having conversation/prayer

mentally with God. This can be done anywhere and at anytime, your space-time

coordinates does not matter.

 

However, formal puuja and rituals demand specific days and/or times. These

requirements are specfic to each of them, and the relevant puraaNa-s and

dharma shaastra-s explain that. One has to make distinction on that.

Depending on special cases such as asaucha, some should not be done, even if

the time and place is appropriate. This matters to even simple things like

lighting a lamp in the altar. Hence, it is best to consult elders in one's

family and other knowledgeable people, before embarking on anything formal.

Hari Om

 

You are right Beloved Soul

any time your mind turns to the Divine Mother

that time is supremely auspicious

we should see ourselves as continually walking in Mother

every sound that comes to us is Mother's soothing voice

each beam of light is reflected from the jewels of Her radiance

everything we see is Her.

 

Kali Mata Ki Jai
