There are no boundaries as to the energy that may serve as the focal point of your puja.

There are no boundaries as to the energy that may serve as the focal point of your puja. You need only choose a spiritual guide to connect with and an object to represent them. Preparing for the puja ritual, you will need an altar and offerings. Meditation, chanting, the reading of sacred texts, offerings of food and water, and cleansing are part of the ritual. Just as you adorn your body your spiritual body also accepts the fragrances of incense, flowers. An altar created with the deity and its sacred geometry, the yantra, and mala beads that are used in chanting of mantras provides focus for the energy of the divine and a seat of our consciousness. Center yourself and release any stress you may feel, breathe in through your right nostril and out through the left. Repeat with the left nostril. Release all negativity and open your heart to the energies of the divine. Ringing of a bell and inviting the energies, chanting the mantras and the cleansing and dressing of the deity, we are creating a connection with the cosmic divinity

Glory, glory to Mother Kundalini, who through Her Infinite Grace and Power, kindly leads the Sadhaka from Chakra to Chakra and illumines his intellect and makes him realise his identity with the Supreme Brahman' - Sri Swami Sivananda.

Puja is believed to harness cosmic energy to achieve material or spiritual goals. "If one offers me a simple leaf, fruit, or flower with love and devotion, I will accept it." - Bhagvad Gita. Simply puja is only meant as an external aid, and is not an end in itself.

Come let us rejoice in the beautiful energies of Saturn, blessings and energies that abound from you, Shani I am but a mere devotee , please strengthen my inner spirit and help me stay on my path

Accept the Brahman

May my limbs, my speech, my breath of life, my eyes, my ears, my power and my senses flourish. The nature of the brahman is explained in the Upanishads. May I not refuse to accept the Brahman. May the Brahman not refuse to accept me. May I always be united with the Brahman. May the truth that is in the Upanishads be revealed to me. May the truth be reflected in me.

Let there be peace.Let there be peace.Let there be peace.
