' PUJA' WORSHIP
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.

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

VYAASENA GRATHITAAM PURAANA MUNINAA MADHYE

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 BUDHDHE
FULLARAVINDAAYATAPATRA NETRA
YENA TVAYAA BHAARATA THAILA POORNAHA
PRAJVAALITO 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.

GEETHA-MruTA DUHE NAMA:
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.

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.

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;
