Pooja @ Home

Hi All,

Today as all of you know is Valentine's Day...

Wish u all belated Valentines Day Wishes!!!

Today my mom has kept a pooja in the morning, its called Ganapathi Homam(means its a pooja for lord Ganesha).Homam refers to a practice of worship by using fire.There will be priest who creates a small fireplace kind of stuff in a square, temporarily made of bricks and sands.In the fire they offer the god's prasad(like foodstuffs,clothes, many more.Have heard that ppl putting even gold & silk sarees),the fire is a pure form, its the best to offer it in the fire created and wish for his blessings.

They make a kalash, recite mantras of lord ganapathy, so that the lord himself comes and be in the kalash and accept all our offerings.They recite mantras for the goodness of the family which has kept the pooja.

Thats how rishis and sages have worshipped god.The Kings for the well beings of ppl,country and himself keep these pooja and asks the sages to perform it for him.

So today we had a pooja for our well being, we had all our relatives coming in for the homam and its a great spirtual and happier atmosphere.We all had got the blessings from the lord :)

so thats how went my valentines day with my near & dears!
