Two common ways of offering pUja to ParamAtma are:- 1) bAhya pUja and 2) mAnasa pUja.

 

1) bAhya pUja  consists of offering proper flowers, tuLasi, juicy

fruits, scents, and tasty foods. During such a pUja - the abhimAni

dEvata of each item offered, pratima (idol) aMtargata bhagavadrUpa and

the svabiMbarUpa of ParamAtma have to be simultaneously imagined in our

mind and then the items are to be offered to ParamAtma. If our mind is

not fixed on ParamAtma, then this bAhya pUja has no meaning.This would

only be a pomp and show. Such a pUja is not acceptable to ParamAtma.

2) mAnasa pUja  -  consists of blending captivating or charmful things

in our mind and offer the same with bhakti to shrI Hari.  The kind Lord

accepts such offerings and blesses the devotee with a variety of

balanced benefits as forceful as the flow of the Ganges River and

protects them at all times and makes them happy.

 

Devotees who visualizing that shrI Hari possesses infinite virtuous

qualities, He is His own Master, He is the Stimulator and Regulator of

all our actions and that existing as biMbarUpa in everyone, does and

makes us do various actions are the devotees who have stolen his guNa-s

(kaddavara). ParamAtma steals (kadivanu) their sins (aghava) and

purifies the devotees. However, He claims to be faultless by this action

of His (anaghaneMdenisi)
