Maansik Pooja / Meditation
How to do temple worship ?
Temples were built to fix our wavering mind on God. The temple becomes a center for directing the mind towards our intellect.
It is necessary to have the habit of going to the temple. Observe the rituals performed by the priest there. Select a temple to which you are closely attached to. Visualize this temple in your mind.
நNo matter where you are, if you invoke your thoughts on the temple you can virtually be in that temple and enter into the Garbhagriha to have Bhagavan's darshan.
Morning Pooja :
Morning is the time to remember God. Get up early in the morning , recite the moola-mantra and bring your favorite temple in your mind. Imagine yourself entering into the temple after taking bath. Milk, Sandalwood water, Rose water and fresh water should be kept ready to bathe Bhagavan in the Moolasthan.
First perform abhisheka with milk and then with sandalwood water and rose water. After that bathe with water.
Then dress up Bhagavan like a Maharaja and seat him on a beautiful golden throne.
Place the crown inlaid with diamonds on Bhagavan's head. Then recite the mantra by offering flowers at the Lotus feet of the Lord.
"ஊனுக்குள் நீ நின்று உலாவினதைக் காணாமல் நானென் றிருந்த நலனழிந்தேன் பூரணமே"
"Transaltion : O Bhagwan! Without knowing your presence in myself I was ignorant thinking that it was all me!"

Offering Gratitude towards Bhagwan :
Let's say we go to a bank. If we do not have a pen to fill out a form we borrow it from someone and after completing, we return the pen and say 'Thanks!'. Isn't it ?As such, we should thank Bhagavan often in daily life. Say 'Thank you Bhagavan!' when you get good food, after having a safe journey, after you get success in what yo do. Likewise, whenever you get a chance fall at the lotus feet of Bhagavan residing in your mind and be thankful.
We can even say 'Thank you!' for breathing well.
Good things come to those who remembers to thank God!
Apologizing to Bhagwan:
It is normal to make mistakes in human life by thought and action. There is a difference between doing a mistake unknowingly and doing it knowingly.For example, if the cell phone in your hand slips and falls, we say we did that mistake unknowingly. It would be a known mistake if the same cell phone was thrown over someone with anger.
Likewise, it would be a known mistake for a devotee if he/she does not worship Bhagwan in their mind. While making this mistake, say, "O Bhagwan! I have forgotten you for ten minutes, forgive me! Let's apologize for that.
Let us learn to remember Bhagwan constantly. If we forget, let us apologize.
They alone live a real life, whose mind is gradually transformed by the thought of Bhagwan every day.
Why is heaven not empty?
Because man asks forgiveness, and God forgives.
