WHAT IS PUJA?

We all do Puja may be daily. May be my Non Indian friends do not know the meaning of Puja but I am sure they also perform it. The English equivalents of ‘Puja’ are homage, reverence, worship, respect, etc. the system and manner of doing Puja is different for different religions and places and the system of Puja generally relates to religions, deities and Gods. In some religions there is an elaborate system of rituals for Puja while in some religions it may be a simple method of prayer only.diwali puja 300x300 WHAT IS PUJA?

It is a fact that All the major religions of the world originated in Asia. Four Major Religions which are Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism were originated in South Asia (India). Other religion like Christianity and Islam originated in South- west Asia for which Jerusalem, Mecca and Madina are important places. All these religions are similar and concept of God exists in all these religions. Sikhism is the only religion in which Gurus existed and it concentrates on Gurus. But, the system of doing the Puja and prayers is associated with all the religions and this fact cannot be ignored. This system is visible in Today’s world also.

Hinduism is the oldest religion of the world in all. Its history is about 4,000 years long. Almost all the other religions except Hinduism evolved during the last 2.600 years. But it is to be noted that Hinduism developed after the 1st agricultural revolution which took place about 10,000 years ago and the intervening period was Vedic period in India during which such Puja systems had not taken roots.

A Divine Weapon given to Humans by God- Communication

‘Management’ is heard everywhere and its demand are growing globally. And communication (Power of Talks) is the skill which is essential for to succeed in any function of ‘Management’.

Long ago, Mahakavi Kalidasa wrote in ‘Raghu Vamsa’, a great play: ‘Vaagartha Viva Sampruktau; Vaagartha Pratipattaye; Jagatah Pitarau Vande; Parvati Parameswarau’ ‘I salute Parvati and Parameswara, Parents of the Unvierse, To bless me with Expression and Meaning, For they are so united.’

This clearly shows that Kalidasa knew that in communication, word and meaning should be closely blended. It is always necessary that what we write should exactly mean what we mean. Communication is a great divine weapon which separates Humans with other living beings as they have the power to communicate ‘well’. Expression of feelings is the only differentiator, which separates us with other living beings on earth.

But if you misuse, it may become destructive weapon in the hands of a fool. There are people who enjoy felicitations with the power of their ‘speech’! There are people who invite wars due to lack of proper communication! You can take back the slip of your leg and can get healed, but you cannot reverse the slip of a tongue!

According to Francis T. Bergin, A well-known expert in communication, the seven C’s are the essentials of communication. It should be ‘correct’, ‘clear’, ‘complete’, ‘concise’, ‘concrete’, ‘candid’ and ‘courteous’. This relates with the advice of Valmiki who wrote it centuries ago in his timeless epic?

Hanumad Ramavana

Hanuman went to the Himalayas to continue his worship of Rama after the victory over Ravana where he scripted a version of the Ramayana using his nails. At that time Maharishi Valmiki visited Hanuman to show his own version of the Ramayana but became disappointed and stated that his labor will go ignored on which Hanuman discarded his own version which is called the Hanumad Ramavana. Valmiki got so touched with this that in his version he understated, he would take another birth to sing the glory of Hanuman.

After the war the time arrived for Rama to depart to his heavenly abode. At that time Hanuman requested to remain on the earth as long as Rama’s name exist and Sita accorded his desire granting him that his image would be installed at various public places so that Hanuman could listen to Rama’s name chanted by people and thus Hanuman is one of the immortals of Hinduism.

Hanuman is also known as the brother of Bhima as both have the same father, Vayu. During the exile of Pandava’s, Hanuman appeared as a weak and aged monkey and lied with his tail blocking the way of Bhima on the field. Bhima unaware of his identity asks to remove the tail to which Hanuman answered that Bhima should remove it himself. Bhima tried hard using all his strength but failed and therefore inquires into Hanuman’s identity. Bhima also requested and sees the same size of Hanuman in which he had crossed the sea to go to Lanka looking for Sita.

Popular folk art of Karnataka, Yakshagana depicts Hanuman as phophets, power and presence in the present age. Many prophets of modern times had claimed to have seen Hanuman such as Madhvacharya (13 Century A. D.), Tulsidas (16 th Century), Sri Ramdas Swami (17 th Century) and Raghavendra Swami (17 th Century), Swami Ramdas (20 th Century) and Sri Sathya Sai Baba (20 th Century). Swaminarayan strongly believes that other than worship of God, Hanuman is the only lower deity who can save us from the evil spirits and thus should be worshiped.

Wherever the deeds of Sri Rama are sung, the presence of Hanuman removes the fear of demons. A variation of such texts can be found in Tulsidasa’s Vinaya Patrika and the Mahabharata. Hanuman also reserves a special place even when Ramanpath takes place. Villagers consider Hanuman as their protective guardian. His images can be seen in a number of temples especially where images of Vishnu’s avatars are installed. It is believes that Hanuman idols and images keeps the area free from evils. It is also believe that Hanuman protects people from accidents and that is why his idols can also be found on mountain roads.

Have a Personal Relationship With God

 Have a Personal Relationship With God

The following describes how you can begin a personal relationship with GOD, experience forgiveness of your sins, receive eternal life, and gain a whole new purpose for living. Just as there are physical laws that governs the physical universe, so are there spiritual laws which govern your relationship with God. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life through others like Jesus has done it, Rama has done it, Krishna has done it and are still doing their job of forgiving and loving his children.

God loves each one of us with a father’s love that is unconditional, impartial and so immeasurable that it is beyond our understanding. It is that love for us that caused Him to send His only son Jesus Christ to die on a cruel cross, so that our sins can be freely forgiven and we can be assured of an eternal home in Heaven after this life ends. All we are asked to do is repent (a genuine turning away from sin or wrong doing in our lives), believe and then with the help of His Holy Spirit live our lives for Him.

It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, black or white, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, good or bad, Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist or no religion. We all are created equally by God with an empty space inside us that belongs to Him which only He can fill.That emptiness inside us can never be filled except by the help of God. If we truly believe in God he will fill these empty spaces inside us gradually with those unnatural powers and forces that no one can defeat us in life. It does rarely matter that how much or how little we have. We only think that if we had that one more thing whether it is more money, better job, bigger house, more friends, more care taker faster car, new relationship, new office etc.etc. etc., then life will be good. Some try to fill this emptiness with more lot of work, drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, but these only lead to addiction. We reap what we sow and all these things bring their own problems such as bad health, broken homes and relationships and an even greater emptiness and loneliness inside ours. We can not ever get the feelings of God inside us following on these very steps.hanumanji Have a Personal Relationship With God

There is an answer provided by God and you can know his peace, acceptance and love through Jesus Christ who was put to death on a cruel cross to pay the price for our sins. He defeated death and rose again and by His Spirit can change our lives and offers the free gift of new life on this earth and eternal life in the world to come to all who repent of sin and call upon Him.

If you are tired of this life given by God and want to achieve God.

If your are tired of this life, its burdens sadness and pain it has given you, if you can’t find satisfaction in what this world has to offer. If you genuinely want God to change your life, are sorry for the wrongs and sins you have done, want to know real forgiveness, and can earnestly pray this prayer and mean it – God or Jesus by any means will truly come into your heart by His spirit and you will be spiritually born again, a new creation with a new hope and purpose in this life and a promise of life everlasting in the world to come.The following is a simple prayer of commitment to God.

Jesus the truth If you are tired of this life given by God and want to achieve God.

This prayer is between you and God – “Lord Jesus I need you. I believe that you are the son of God and that you died on Calvary for my sins. I believe that you rose again and I confess and turn away from my sins. I am truly sorry for all that I have done wrong. I open the door of my heart and welcome you in as Savior and Lord. Take over the throne of my life and by your Holy Spirit help me to become the person you want me to be. I thank you for the gift of eternal life. AMEN”

No matter what you have done so far and what you are doing, if you said this prayer and are genuinely sorry for past wrongdoing and if you want to save your future, intending by God’s grace and the Holy Spirit’s help to lead a new life according to God’s word. Then you will be spiritually born again, you may not feel any different, it is not about feelings but God’s grace and love.

Ask your God (whether it is Rama, Krishna, Allaha, Jesus, Vahe Guru or some else), each day in prayer to lead you in His ways and to guide each decision you make, if in doubt ask yourself, what would God have done or how would He have reacted. We all fail at times but if you do, ask God truly to forgive you, learn from your mistake and move on. You will then find that this is only the beginning of an exciting journey as you find God slowly and steadly following you, in your life and in each and every step you proceed in your life. Does this prayer enhances the desires of your heart? Do it make you feel you are achieving to get the God If it does, I want you to pray this prayer and pray these words for whole life long and see the difference it makes in your life.

Man was created to have fellowship with God; but, because of his stubborn self-will, he can not cope up with the relations with God and he chose to go his own independent ways in his life.Thus his fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference or stubborn nature, is evidence of what the Bible calls sin. So a man has to pay a toll for his sins and death is the result. every man has to pay for his deeds before and even after his death which can not be stopped in any ways.
“The wages of sin is death”

Jesus Christ is believed to be God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. Through him only God can forgive for your deeds and sins. Man’s sins is also responsible for the death of Jesus when he was hanged on the sinful cross.
BUT then also “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, christ died for us.”

God or Devil

There are different people having different beliefs in Gods. Some believes in God and some don’t, some pray him only when they are in difficulty and some pray him always. Some don’t believe in god and some also are there who believes in Devil and pray for him. But it’s my personal experience that the word God itself is so positive and the word devil is so negative.
mahabharat 800 God or Devil
If you don’t believe in God don’t believe in it, but let others believe in it. It is best to keep your opinion to yourself. You should respect the feelings of others and if they believe in god let them believe in God truly. People who believe in god don’t condemn people who don’t believe in him. Each and every one of us have the right to believe what we want to believe in so. If you like god, believe and praise him, if you do not believe him don’t condemn.

Many believe that God is the root of all evil. You’re either going to choose to do evil or not. Quit putting your shortcomings on others (or other entities) and own up to your own faults. I have to laugh at the simple-minded concept of a “devil” making them do EVIL. These chose evils as their life and do evil in the Name of God. Thus are called Devil.

“God” was created in man’s image: wrathful, jealous, self-centered, and God almost certainly doesn’t exist (unless he’s a deceptive, over-controlling coward or completely apathetic), and evil is a human mental construct.

GOD IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL? NO
HUMAN IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL? YES COMPLETELY TRUE and like other EVIL, HUMAN DON’T BLAME HIMSELF, THEY BLAME ON GOD.

It’s like when the boogeyman been caught, the police officer asks him, who is responsible for this crime? Answer me! Then the boogeyman answered “it’s not me, its God you know.”

HAVE U EVER THOUGHT IF THE RELIGION WAS MADE TO UNITE THE WORLD AND LOVE FELLOW HUMANS
THEN
WHY IT IS DIVIDING THE WORLD?
TEACHING TO KILL IN NAME OF GOD?
PREACHING TO HATE EVERY OTHER PERSON?
SHOULD THERE BE ANY RELIGION AND GOD THEN?

God and Religion

jesus christ of nazareth God and Religion

Many of the people in the society believe that religion is today the greatest cause of war among man and man. But they don’t think that religion is made by these ‘man’ only and god doesn’t tell about any religion. God does not equal religion; God can not be in either way compared to religion. Believe in God is one. God equals faith. So Religion and faith are not the same.


The primitive Judaic concepts of deity are sorely out-dated now, and came from a barbarous time with no literacy and a “survival first” mentality. The purpose of religions is to teach morals and ethics, create a more harmonious civilization. However, historians now attribute 1.5 BILLION deaths to Catholicism alone, not counting the other religions.


This is hardly “ethical living” – in fact, the Bible and western religions are so violent that in time they may even be OUTLAWED by more humane societies.
cross of Golgothakreuz cropped God and Religion
History also shows that there were fights among the various religions because of their rights and beliefs. They don’t think about the creator of whole universe which is only one name God. The “Creator” can’t be happy that we destroy so much of it, but then the Creator created this mess, allows the mayhem and carnage, so it’s not a “thinking, moral” Deity in charge at all, more like a “Force” from Star Wars or universal energy that can be used for good or evil, that’s up to us. Whatever created this mess created the bad with the good, the evil with the righteous, and the dark with the light? The Yin-Yang concept is “how it is”, ‘God’ by definition, is “everything”, the whole ball of wax.


There is hope for the survival of human civilization and that hope is manifest in the consistent application of reason, in the ethics and values expressed through secular humanism, and in the constant evolution of human intelligence through scientific inquiry.

IT DOES PREACH BCS WE ONLY HAVE CREATED RELIGIONS.…… SO WE ONLY PREACH EVIL THERES NO GOD TO SAY SO…. ITS OUR WITHIN US AND OUTSIDE US….BUT INTERPRETATION IS WRONG….
ganesha God and Religion
Yes, I really think about religions in this way. No doubt they were created to help people understand the world, Nature, which seemed to them strange and impossible to understand. Then religions became related with political power. God was supposed to give power to chosen people called kings, queens etc. So religions began to compete to win the first place in the world of politics. Now their fights (I mean the fights between various cults, churches) have nothing to do with good virtues.

Lakshmi worshipped in Diwali

Maha Lakshmi Devi Lakshmi worshipped in Diwali

Hindus in India and all over the world, worship Godess Lakshmi the most on Diwali, the festival of lights. According to tradition people would put small oil lamps outside their homes and clean their houses on Diwali and hope Lakshmi will come to bless them. Lakshmi is believed to come in the clean places only.

The prefix Sri (also spelled as Shri, pronounced as shree) renders as one who takes delight in’ Sri Lakshmi, meaning wealth, wealth of any kind. Any thing that need be affluent gets the auspicious prefix or suffix ‘Lakshmi’, or ‘Sri’ like Rajya Lakshmi (Wealth of Empire), Shanti Sri (Wealth of Peace), etc. In modern India, common titles standing in for the English Mr. and Mrs. are Shri (also Sri or Shree) and Shrimati (also Srimati or Shreemati), as in “Sri Gupta” or “Srimati Mangeshkar”.

In Uttarakhand, after the worship of the goddess on Diwali night, the Shankha or Conch is not blown. This is because the shankha is also from the ocean like the goddess herself, so it is given a day of rest.
