Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Jai Srimannarayan, what do I mean by the Nitya Pooja. the universal deity has to be worshiped daily, in this regards. every individual is doing in different ways to his own liking or to the clan which he belongs. why it should not be onetype so that there is uniformity in action, form and prayer. the enlighted or the advanced soul in this act, may perform in advance form as the taste grows in the manner he / she wants. Example the time in the temple, the hindus do througout the day . they are not having particular time where as in the church or the Mosque they are having uniform time and meeting time to congregate and pray to the God. In hinduism this uniform approach is avoided from the inception . can HH Swamiji take up the cause of this to have a uniform performance of the pooja to the Lord. wherein every one will follow. Jai Sriman Narayana. BANDHALA NAIN DAS. Regards. ______________ B.NAINDAS, Dy.GM(PR)HQ, 2675373(D)2667556-ext 2406 Fax: 2382, 2667982.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Priya Sriman Naindasji! Jai Srimannarayana! We are happy with your opinions with regard to Nitya Puja. One needs to drink water to satiate the thirst. However, the volume of the water one drinks differs from one person to the other. And also taste makes them to accept different drinks to comsume also. One may prefer to take just water and he is satisfied. Another drinks soft drinks and he is satisfied then only. Yet another person consumes alcoholic drinks to satiate his thirst. Though drinking is an act everyone does, there are different way to drink and different drinks to drink. One needs to learn, what to drink and what not to drink. So also with God. We want to follow the path tasted and tested by our ancesters and sages. For us worshiping God is important. For some people, some form and name will give satisfaction and for some other people, some other form will satisfy them. Whatever ways they may be, the devotees should choose and do according to their taste. There should not be any force on them, for the force never helps person to love God. Afterall the puja should be done with love and faith only. Our ancestors thought that by giving the freedom, people will definitely spare all the time to God, no matter, in what position and what posture they are. Thas is how they feel the presence of God as the eternal companion. That is what infact required. EVen among other religions praying for x number of times and in x place is also to make them feel the presence of that God only within themselves. As ours is the matured system, our sages and acharyas never imposed any restriction on us. They gave every freedom, in all respects. While doing the puja also, they said 'feel free in doing that with utmost love and concern' Then the rules will take secondery place. Concern occupies primary place. Keeping this in mind the whole doctrine is built. Let yours may be in one way and others' system is something different, yet "you need to worship your own and respect all". Unfortunately the inner understanding part has lost and the external actions took primary place. For other religions, thought seems immatured and prayers occupy pivital role. Doing everything with fanatism is only seen. Worshipping their own is seen and respecting the rest of the world is not at all there. Rather they hate other systems and cannot tolerate them at all. We consider that a too childish mentality, which needs a lot of maturity. The liberity sanctioned by our sages was taken granted by our generations, as freedom-in-toto, so that we just need not do anything. Yet, everything will be alright. This over-confidence is always dangerous. We are in that state now. So some control is inevitable to us also. Some understanding to others also is a need of the day. Let us hope for that. =chinnajeeyar= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
