Why should I do this Course?

The purpose of doing a puja is multifaceted and can vary depending on the specific tradition, deity, or individual’s intentions. However, this course offers some common elements of doing a puja daily which can help a sadhaka as follows:

• Connection with the Divine: Bhava cultivated in puja establishes a personal connection with the Divine. 

• Purification and concentration of mind: The main idea of puja is to dedicate one’s body-mind-actions to the service of God, which purifies the mind and increases its capacity to concentrate.

• Peace of mind: True happiness is found when the mind is at peace. Puja possesses the transformative power to elevate one beyond the everyday worries and lead them to discover an inner sanctuary of stability, serenity, and profound bliss.

• Spiritual Evolution: Through puja, spiritual growth and transformation towards the goal of Self-realisation can be achieved.

• Family and Community Bonding: Puja can serve as a means of bringing various people of a family and community together, reinforcing cultural and religious bonds.

• Preservation of Tradition: The recitation of sacred texts and adherence to traditional customs during the puja(s) builds an auspicious atmosphere conducive for the right samskaras to be inculcated and passed on to the future generations.

The course thus offers various benefits to a sadhaka who wants to practise puja to actualise the relationship with the Divine.
