Shree Maa often talks about "Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram - Truth, Infinite

Consciousness and Beauty."...When we watch Mother, hear Her speak or listen to

Her singing, we know She is living in Truth and Beauty...

 

Shree Maa and Swamiji tell us that "Worship means attention." When we do any

action with complete attention, we are engaged in worship. Therefore, puja

is not limited to the time we sit in front of our altar, but can conceivably

fill every moment of our lives. The practice of doing puja each day helps us

to make our entire life a festival of worship.

 

....In India, Maa went from house to house teaching people how to do puja.

She encourages us to do puja and to learn the mantras... In America too, Shree

Maa and Swamiji have helped many, many devotees set up altars in their houses

and to get started with regular worship

– to make their house into a temple.

Shree Maa and Swamiji say, "Worship is the bridge by which we cross from

duality to non-duality."

 

This week we will be discussing puja – what are the steps, what does it mean

in practice, how we can use this practice to make all of life a puja

(worship).

 

 

Dear ramya ~ thank you for sharing all this wonderful and important

information; thank you for reminding me. I hope to make it to the class this

Saturday. Can you tell me what time it starts. Last week I got confused, and showed

up after it was already over. (I am on Mountain Time, which I believe is one

hour earlier than Pacific Time.) Are there specific instructions on how to set

up an altar. I would like to do this in my new house, even though it appears

that my husband and I will be splitting up and selling it I don't know what

is going to happen, and I am lost. I think having an altar would help to

anchor me. Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Jai Maa ~
