POOJAS
Puja is a word in Sanskrit language. In Sanskrit, words are formed with meaning in
mind. For instance in the word puja,'p' stands for 'paapa' meaning sins.'j' stands for
'janma' means birth. 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. Remember the
British king who sent his friend Becket to sabotage the Church. Once Becket started
working for the church, he got convinced and got converted to their line of thinking and
found that the king's views were neither noble nor fair.
Brenen writing in 'Power Play' says that the easterners are centuries ahead in the
control of mind and related topics. By puja you will be in a position to inject the noblest
thoughts in the subconscious. Above all, one will succeed in solving the mystery of 'Life'
.
Pooja is a unique way in which a Hindu communicates with his god. This may involve a
silent meditation or a loud chanting of mantras with or without offerings to the god.
Common offerings to the god during a pooja include flowers, incense, light (Deepa),
food items (Naivedya), and sandalwood paste. These offerings are said to represent the
five elements of space, air, fire, water, and earth.
In a perfectly conducted pooja the body, mind and the soul of the devotee are so
completely integrated that he feels one with his god. Doing poojas on a regular basis
brings equanimity and peace to one's mind.
Reasons for doing pooja may range from seeking a general or particular blessing from
the god, or just as a mode of expression of one's gratitude to the god. While most
poojas can be done on any day, some of the poojas are reserved for special occasions in
one's life Subhakariam.com helps you to select a pooja for any particular occasion in
your life, or for any special benefit you seek or for any festival of your choice and also
arranges to perform them on your behalf.
