1/26 ways to contribute to Bharat

‘India that is Bharat’…This is how the first article of the Indian constitution begins. The freedom of this sacred land lies in the culture, heritage and our ways of life. Every day all the way till Republic Day 2022 we will post at least 26 ways each of us can contribute to Bharat. 

Puja is one of the most beautiful ways to invoke the devotee in oneself and establish a relationship with Iśvara, the Lord.

In a physical form of worship, such as a puja, there is a greater field of expression of one’s devotion than is possible in purely oral or mental forms of worship. The body, mind and speech are all involved in a puja. The forms, colours, fragrances and sounds of the various items of worship arrest one’s mind and aid in evoking devotion in oneself. 

Being a karma, an action it offers peace of mind and clarity.

Performing a puja offers much insight, a gladness of heart and a cheerfulness born of relating to the one who protects, nurtures you moment to moment.  

 Doing a puja also brings puṇya, credit for meritorious actions which help to neutralise the effects of pāpa (experienced as suffering) in one’s life.

Thousands of people across generations have experienced the power and impact of puja done with devotion, in their lives.

Thousands of people across generations expressed their fervent wishes and intentions to Iśvara which were largely fulfilled.

A puja is also performed in order to express one’s gratitude to Iśvara for all one has been given in one’s life. The very creation in which one is born is considered to be a gift of the Lord.  

People do puja because puja works! You and your devotion make it work!
