devotion ....

[Guest guest]

Those who conceive Maa as free from all limiting conditions,seek to

know her in the fullness of her power and glory. Yet they do not

attain this knowledge immediately. Rather their conception of Maa

rises through a graduated series of beings, each more powerful and

glorious than the last.

 

Jai Maa

Here are a few ways to keep our pujas interesting . 1) Get kids

involved ... to ring the bell during the Shanti mantras, to throw the

flowers during puja, to do the Arati2) Dance during the Arati. Make it

vigorous and fun. 3) Buy lots of flowers and flood your altar with

them4) Start off like Swamiji . Sit in the altar, and look at your

deities and say "Hello Ladies and Gentlemen"5) Get friends to visit

and have a community puja6) Before you conclude the puja with Arati -

serenade the God with your favorite love song.7) Memorize the puja .

Close your eyes and mentally visualize every step in the puja8) Take

the deity out for a day complete with all the items for a puja. Go to

a quiet place outside and set up your temporary altar and do the puja

for that day. ( I am thinking of going to the

beach and trying this out with the sound of the waves)9) Make a lot of

Prasad and give some to your local soup kitchen10) Get a wish list

from people that want to be prayed for and mention them in your

sankalpas.11) Read aloud the English translation after the sanskrit

mantras.... Can people add in other ways to keep their pujas

interesting ...

sanjay that is so right on. i am finding more aspects, almost every

day.

 

one of the greatest pleasures i have now is, learning of

the "humanity" of her love. i know there is also the detached aspect,

but now, i am learning of the very real love, the mother-kind, the

kind that makes you feel physically very secure. i have not had that

sense in a very, very long time.

 

peace,
