most easily contacted, and most able to assist us in our day-to-day life and concerns. In His hands, He wields a noose and a goad, With the noose He can hold you close, or hold obstacles close. He can capture and confine both blessings and obstacles. With the goad He can strike and repel obstacles. He is called remover of obstacles.There are several modern shrines to Ganesha across the Universe.

' PUJA' WORSHIP

(By Pt. Shrinathji)Puja is a word in Sanskrit language, which stands for Worship. In the word Puja -- 'p' stands for 'paapa' meaning sins.'j' stands for 'janma' means birth.With 'p' it removes all accumulated sins, and '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 (undefined) Intellect, the ancients devised a method of bringing Lord within the realm of the senses. This method is to worship God 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. By puja you will be in a positions to inject noblest thoughts in the subconscious. Above all, one will succeed in solving the mystery of 'Life'.

Do the Puja anyway you can with Devotion and love for Lord in your heart.

God out of his mercy will overlook all the shortcomings of men if they pursue the path of devotion with fervor. At the end of worship, daily or occasional, a prayer is offered to God not to mind the defects while chanting the mantras or adapting the procedures or for forgetting to do some duties out of ignorance. The Almighty is compassionate enough to ignore such errors. Thus mercy being His chief trait, a devotee need not be concerned with minor defects if his endeavors is absolutely sincere but the enjoined duties should not be abandoned.

- 3 -


Let us look at the Puja formatAs we discussed in previous paragraphs All pervasive God is being worshipped in the form of photo or Idol. To worship God two things are very essential. 1. Shraddha (commitment) and 2. Bhakti (Devotion). The worship of God is in the format of Upacharas (royal respects). Let us see what they are:Dhyaana : We first meditate whom to inviteAvaahana : We invoke the presence of GodAasana : When He arrives offer the seat to sit downArghyam : Offer a spoonful of water to wash His handsPaadyam : Offer water to wash feetAachamanam : Offer some water to drinkSnaanam : Take him to bath (you chant shlokas telling the glory of GodPanchamrita : Mixture of milk, yogurt, ghee, honey and sugar.

GEETHA DHYANAM

Introduction : Geetha Dhyaanam, also called Dhyaana Slokas, has Nine Slokas of Prayerful Meditation.These Slokas are usually chanted by Students devoted to the study of Bhagavath Geetha, before they start their daily Geetha Lessons. This is much similar to our tradition of praying to God before starting any auspicious undertaking.

Sloka 1:OM PAARTHAAYA PRATI BODHITAAM BHAGAVATHAA NAARAAYANENA SWAYAM…VYAASENA GRATHITAAM PURAANA MUNINAA MADHYE MAHAA BHAARATAM……ADVAITAMRUTA VARSHINEEM BHAGAVATEEM ASHTAA DASHAA DHYAAYINEEM….AMBA TVAAM ANUSANDADHAAMI BHAVATH GEETHE BHAVATHVESHINEEM……

Meaning : (This sloka is a prayer to Bhagavath Geetha itself). I constantly meditate upon Bhagavath Geetha, which is a Divine song, with which Partha (Arjuna) was enlightened by Lord Narayana himself, which was incorporated in the midst of Mahabharata by the ancient Sait Vyasa, in the form of 18 chapters.

Sloka 2:NAMOSTHU TE VYAASA VISHAALA BUDHDHEFULLARAVINDAAYATAPATRA NETRAYENA TVAYAA BHAARATA THAILA POORNAHAPRAJVAALITO GNYAANA MAYA PRADEEPAHA

Meaning : Salutation unto thee, Oh Vyaasa! Of Mighty Intellect, who has eyes as the petals of a full-blown lotus flower, by whom was lighted the Lamp of Knowledge filled with the Mahabharata Oil.

Meaning : Salutation TO Krishna : Who is a tree of fullfillment, to all those who totally surrender to Him, who has milked the Geetha Nectar, the holder of GnyaanaMudra, the wielder of the cane in one hand with which He drives home the herd of cattle under His protection.

Sloka 4:SARVOPANISHADO GAAVO DOGDHA GOPAALA NANDANA:PAARTHO VATHSA SUDHEERBHOKTA DUGDHAM GEETHAAMRuTHAM MAHATH

Meaning : All the Upanishads are cows, the son of the cowherd is the Milkman, Partha is the calf, men of pure intellect are the enjoyers and the supreme nectar of Geetha is the Milk.

Sloka 5:

VASUDEVASUTHAM DEVAMKAMSA CHANhURA MARDHANAMDEVAKI PARAMAANANDAM KRISHNAM VANDE JAGADGURUM.

Meaning : I Salute Krishna, the teacher of the Universe, the divine son of Vasudeva, destroyer of Kamsa and Chaanura, the supreme joy of Devaki.

Meaning : In this sloka the Battle of Mahabharata is described as a River, with Bhishma and Drona as its banks; with Jayadhrata as its waters; with the King of Gaandharaa as the blue Water-Lily; Shalya as the Shark ; KRuPA as the current ; Karna as the Breaker ; Ashvathama and Vikarna as the terribel Crocodiles; Duryodhana as the Whirpool in it. This “River” was indeed crossed over by the Pandavas with Kesava (Lord Krishna) as the Ferry-man.

Sloka 7:PAARASHARYAVACHA: SAROJAMAMALAM GEETHAARTHA GANDHOTKATAMNAANAAKHYAANAKA KESARAM HARIKATHAASAMBODHANAABODHITAM…LOKEY SAJJANASHATPADAI: AHARAHAHA PEPEEYAMAANAM MUDAABHOOYAD BHAARATA PANKAJAM KALIMALAPRADHVAMSINA SHREYASE….

Meaning : May the spotless lotus of the MahabharataGrowing in the waters of the words of Parasara’s son (Vyaasa), having for its sweet and pleasant fragrance the significance of Geeta, with many narratives as its inner soft petals, fully blossomed by the stories of Hari and joyously drunk day after day by the six footed (honey bees), the good in the world – be productive of the supreme good to us who are eager to destroy and safely come out of the inner imperfections of the Iron Age.

their contemplation through perfect meditation- And whose limits are not known even to the inhabitants of the

heavens or to the Asuras of the nether kingdom.
