What is a puja?
A puja is a series of prayers designed to bring us closer to enlightened beings and to help us to develop their good qualities. There are several pujas that take place at the Temple. These can be done by a single person or a group, aloud or silently. They each use a sadhana, a booklet which contains the words to the prayers of the puja itself.
Puja is the Sanskrit word for worship. Puja is the act of showing reverence to a god through invocations, prayers, songs and rituals. An essential part of puja for a Hindu devotee is making a spiritual connection with a deity. The Lord being not accessible to our eyes, ears, nose, touch and beyond the realm of the intellect, the ancients devised a method of bringing the Lord within the realm of the senses. By puja you will be in a position to inject the noblest thoughts in the subconcious.
