Puja introduction
Puja is a word in Sanskrit
language. In Sanskrit, words are formed with meaning in mind. For instance in
the word puja,
·
'p' stands for 'paapa' meaning sins.
·
'j' stands for 'janma' means birth.
With 'p' it removes all accumulated
sins, and with '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 (un-refined)
intellect, the ancients devised a method of bringing Lord within the realm of
the senses.
This method is to worship Him (Her
or It) 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. Remember the British king who sent his
friend Becket to sabotage the Church. Once Becket started working for the
church, he got convinced and got converted to their line of thinking and found
that the king's views were neither noble nor fair.
Brenen writing in 'Power Play' says
that the easterners are centuries ahead in the control of mind and related
topics. By puja you will be in a position to inject the noblest thoughts in the
subconscious. Above all, one will succeed in solving the mystery of 'Life' .
