Setting the Right Space for Puja
Choose a neat and quiet place for pooja in home. This could be a separate room for pooja, an altar, or any other nook and corner you would consider sacred. Clear up the space from junk to avoid clutter that interferes with calmness. Beautiful artifacts from Ananta Artifacts are worth adding to enhance the sanctity of the place.
Assemble all Puja Essentials
The following is a general listing of basic items that would be needed for an ordinary puja at home:
- Pictures of the Deities or Idols: These may be acquired from Ananta Artifacts, which are specialized dealers in beautiful idols and statues.
- Puja Thali: A plate containing flowers, incense sticks, a lamp commonly known as diya, fruits, and the prasad.
- Water and Ganga Jal: for purification.
- Kalash: A pot symbolizing plenty.
These will help you create an honorable and lovely setting for your daily worship.
Commence the Puja Ritual
Start your daily puja by lighting the victory lamp or diya, symbolizing light over darkness, in your pooja mandir for home. This sacred space sets the tone for devotion and positivity. After lighting the diya, sprinkle water first on the deity as a mark of purification and devotion, followed by offering fresh flowers.
Take a moment to center your thoughts and focus on the intention behind your prayers. Express gratitude for the blessings you already have in your life, creating a deeper connection with the divine.
End the Puja
After offering your prayers, light incense and complete the ritual by distributing prasad to family members. Take a moment of silence to absorb the positive energy generated during the puja.
