What should be the method of pooja and prayer?

Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life inherited from our ancestors. It is flexible and always evolutionary in nature. It has absorbed into its fold various cultural shocks and remained the same despite external aggression and cultural invasions. 'A Hindu is one, who is always receptive to variety of cultural hues, yet remained monolith of the same inherited tradition’. As per the quote, 

“yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata           abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmanam srjamy aham”  

 

 

 

“paritranaya sadhunam

vinasaya ca duskrtam

dharma-samsthapanarthaya

 sambhavami yuge yuge”  

 

 - Bhagavad Gita  

 there would arise yet another force to set right any imbalance caused hitherto.

It is these external aggressions and cultural invasions that led to the restrictive channelising of Vedic worship, which ultimately developed into dogmas in the process. Vedic system of worship took a different turn resulting in a process, diluting the original objective of poojas and homas. The system was exploited by a few for commercial purposes, surreptitiously sidelining real purpose behind these rituals.  Obscurantism deprived large number of illiterate populace from understanding the basic theme and differentiating between dogmas and true worship.

An analogy is of a train carrying passengers, assured of safety as long as there are no obstacles. Any obstruction will result in its derailing and cascading effect on the passengers. Just as the concerned authorities in charge set right such flaws, Sri Swami, through the synergy of his enormous sankalpa shakthi and divine energy, is striving to put the effected society back on rails, which has to later pursue vedic rituals to meet its apogee.

When an "Archaka" or a priest does his job mechanically, usually, the beneficiary who performs the 'Prayaschitta Homa’ or the pooja does not know the true meaning and the purpose for which it is done. After taking 'Sankalpa', he will attend to his guests and relatives, instead of participating wholeheartedly in the act of pooja. The pooja or homa is considered to be over at the end of a few hours, when he is asked to participate in 'Brahmarpana', leaving the man with the presumption that the deity has been propitiated fully and the benefits are bestowed upon him.

Swami exhorts a person who intends to perform any ‘Prayaschitta Homa’ or pooja to first involve himself and pray to the concerned deities, seeking forgiveness for any misdeeds committed by either him or his ancestors. True repentance with prayers offered to any deity would certainly be accepted and the performer is forgiven and blessed.

‘Doshas’ are the causes of reaction to the action, i.e. 'Karmanga’ or part of his actions during his present life or the previous one. As such, ‘doshas’ augment one's misery during the tenure of his life. One cannot reach out to God unless and until these doshas are rectified. Devotees believe in the ability of Swami, who performs a spiritual surgery for the removal of such 'doshas' from individual devotees.
