To Parvati about Puja

[Guest guest]

Dear Parvati ~ what you have written here, especially the second paragraph I

have quoted below, made my heart dance and my soul sing. What a wonderful way

with words you have.

 

I have one question. When Swamiji did the class on Cosmic Puja was it video

taped or recorded or transcribed in any way. I would so love to have a copy of

any of these if any were done. (On the other hand, I know Swamiji and Maa

are giving classes all the time, and every worship is, for some, a class, so no

one can be recording everything ... I did want to ask, though, just in

case...) Jai Swamiji ~ Linda

Thanks Srini and Ramya for the great discussion and inspirational class

on puja.

 

....I began to learn puja and started with beginner Shiva puja like many of

you have done. Little by little my asan expanded to include a more enhanced

Shiva puja. Once you know the basics to any puja, it is easy to do other

pujas...Later on, Swamiji offered a class in the Cosmic Puja which is a

puja that includes the worship of all and takes 2 1/2-4 hours to complete.

 

....We spend so much time doing things for our physical body, but what do we

do for our subtle and causal body? Doing puja is like taking care of the

soul within. We are giving nourishment to our own inner being and light as

well as putting forth positive vibrations into the universe. We are giving back

to the universe when we do puja, a reciprocal process, a loving and joyous

interchange...
