                                           POOJA

 

 

Puja is a word in Sanskrit language. In Sanskrit, words are formed with meaning

in mind. For instance in the word puja,

With 'p' it removes all accumulated sins, and with

'j' it makes your life's (birth) purpose fulfilled.

The Lord being not accessible to our eyes, ears, nose, touch and beyond the ken

of ordinary

(un-refined) intellect, the ancients devised a method of bringing Lord within

the realm of the senses.

 

 

This method is to worship Him (Her or It) in an object (photo, water, fire,

precious jewel, idol etc) which you can touch, feel, smell, see, feel the taste

of.. Thus all wandering senses are brought to a focus, by belief (faith) and by

daily practice.

 

Unshakable faith and long practice, evokes and unfolds hitherto unknown

dimensions in awareness, which are generally not communicable in the normal way.

 

 

How should we attain the blessings of God?

 

 

To attain the blessings of God, our Hindu philosophy advocates two paths, namely

· the path of GNANA ( that of wisdom )

· the path of BHAKTHI (that of devotion).

The Wisdom path considers the Almighty as a concept with out any form or any

feeling etc., On the other hand the Bhakthi path considers God as One, with or

without a form, but as one who incorporates many divine feelings. 'PRARTHANA' in

other words 'Prayer' or 'Worship' is the first step towards pursuing the Bhakthi

route for Godliness.

 

Why should we do Pooja?

 

 

The second step is Pooja. In other words, a specific form of worship which also

involves a physical offering of either a material object, or the body , mind or

soul to God. The Pooja, when done properly guides oneself towards God, and while

doing 'Prarthana' (praying), the Almighty draws closer to the devotee. Therefore

it is a two way motion that brings the Worshipper and the Worshipped closer. By

means of puja, the appropriate Gods are appealed to for removal of affliction,

protection and prosperity.
