A SHORT & SIMPLE DAILY PUJA |
 |
A daily relationship with the Lord is
essential for spiritual growth. For those of us who's busy schedules do
not permit long sessions of devotion, this little puja is perfect. Each time you say 'Samarpayami' (literally: I am offering), please offer
to the Lord with love and devotion a little uncooked rice, if possible colored with kumkum , saffron powder,
turmeric and a little bit of pure water. This short daily puja can be performed
in a matter of 4 or 5 minutes and is a wonderful way to begin each day.
