Guest guest Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Dear Steve, First you learn to worship for yourself then you worship for others. For example in your puja you would perform a certain sankalpa for someone else and tyou would state the intention. Or if you were to have a satsang at your own house or Mandir and were to perform a group puja together.. At the end of the puja you can give blessings and prasad that was offered in the puja. In this way you become the priest of your own Mandir. Also, in terms of accepting what is offered in love what you are accepting an energy and exchange of love. Hope this helps.
