40 RELIGIOUS RITES PART – 3 INTRODUCTION TO POOJA (Ðê…¢ ç±ç{) POOJÃ VIDHI Pooja is an important task of our daily life and should be performed every day with a complete sense of huminity and servitude. Performing daily Pooja involves waking up in the early hours of the day, preferably at day break, and worshipping the belobved Lord . The essence of Pooja is to lovingly welcome the Lord Almighty to resie in the ideol placed in front of us, with complete faith that is it Lord himself in front of me and not a statue made of stone, meatal, etc., one bow down at His and offers pooja to him in the form of flowers, fruit, sandal, perfume. etc.‘My followers shall perform pooja daily in the morning’, says <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Swaminarayan</strong> Bhagawan in the Shikshapatri. Hence the Pooja case must always be carried with us when travelling away from home so we may perform morning pooja according to Lord’s command. It is also necessary that prior to and during performing Pooja,
RELIGIOUS RITES 41 neither water nor any food, should be consumes by the devotee. (After dispersing(Alwar-??? )from God, the soul must present itself to God, and such presentation to God is called ‘Bhakti’). In the authoritative texts of Hinduism there are elaborate discussions on the element of ‘Bhakti’, and accordingly, nine types of ‘Bhakti’ are prominently described as follows: Ÿ¢±‡¢æ ÜUè¼üÝæ ç±c‡¢¢ï: S}¢Ú‡¢æ Ð¢Î„ï±ÝæJ ¥üÝæ ±‹ÎÝæ Î¢S²æ „w²}¢¢y}¢çÝ±ïÎÝ}¢ìJJ (Shravnam keertnam vishnoh smarnam pãdsevanam. Archanam vandanam dãsyam sakhymãtmanivedanam) Among the nine types of Bhakti, ‘Archana’ i.e. ‘Pooja’ is the fifth one, which is considered as the best and easiest approach to realise God. In regards to ‘Pooja’, one is expected to perform ‘Pooja’, five times a day. If that is not possible then one should perform pooja three times a day. If that too is not possible then one should perform pooja, wholeheartedly and with total dedication, at least once in the early hours of the morning. ¼ÎéQUæ ã¢çÚ¼}¢éçÝÝ¢- (Taduktam hãritmuninã) Haritmuni thus says:
