The paMchabhUta-s or the five elements which are Ether or AkAsha; Earth or pR^ithvi; Water or jala; Fire or tEjas / agni; and Air or vAyu.

 

AkAsha tatva provides space for existence - herein refered as 'bAMdaLa' - bAnini taLa. 'bAn' meaning the space which pervades everywhere but we can see only the space at the 'taLa'-bottom which surrounds us.

 

The above paMchabhUta-s are the adhiShThAna-s for the five tanmAtra-s i.e. shabda (sound of words or anything else via ear), spaRsha (touch via skin), rUpa (sight via eyes), rasa (taste via tongue) & gaMdha (aroma via nose) repectively and these must be recognized as pUja sAdhana-s as under:-

 

shabda guNa is related AkAsha tatva. We must consider that words, sounds, names are the pUja sAdhana-s.

 

spaRsha guNa is related to vAyu tatva. Touching the pratima-s touched by j~nAni-s and touching them to our eyes is also a pUja sAdhana. In the same way embracing bhagavad bhakta-s fall in this category.

 

rUpa guNa is related to tEjasa tatva. The daRshana of idols in temples, svayaMvyakta xEtra-s and mURti-s, meeting and seeing j~nAni-s and reading Holy Scriptures are all related to tEjasa-rUpa-eyes. These are pUja sAdhana-s too.

 

rasa guna is related to appu tatva. Our tongue (rasEMdriya) accepts the tastes. Fruits and foods offered to ParamAtma are also considered as pUja sAdhana-s.

 

gaMdha guNa is related to pR^ithvi tatva. The tuLasi niRmalya, and fragrant flowers are the right fragrances for our nose. Thus these are the right sAdhana-s for pUja. Thus the relation between pR^ithvi-gaMdha-nAsika.

 

Since every tanmAtra is related to paMchabhUta-s is offerable to ParamAtma, they are all pUja sAdhana-s. When we contemplate so, we start perceiving new relationship between each other of those. We should therefore relentlessly offer our pUja / prayer to Him with this understanding. He would then provide his daRshana and thus the jIva becomes very joyful and dances with happiness his heart.

 

JagannAtha dAsa implores on us to praise the Lord by -- " nalinalidADu koMDADu " .
