Daily Worship at Home: Worship has special importance in Sanatan Dharma. We all do puja daily to express our devotion towards God, but do you know that there are some special rules for sitting or standing while performing puja? Often people are confused about what position is best to live in before God. Come, let us know according to the scriptures what is the best way for worship.
Why is sitting while worshiping considered auspicious?
According to religious beliefs, it is generally considered best to perform puja while sitting. When a person sits quietly and worships on a seat, his mind remains more concentrated. It is said that by doing puja while sitting, the mind remains stable and the attention does not get distracted. This also increases the effect of devotion to God and mantras. It is also mentioned in the scriptures that while worshiping, one should sit on a clean and sacred seat, such as a Kusha seat, a wool seat or a clean cloth seat.
In which situations is worship done while standing?
Although generally worship is done sitting, there are some religious activities in which it is considered appropriate to worship while standing. During Aarti in the temple, people often stand and perform Aarti of the Lord. Apart from this, worship or prayer can be done while standing during bhajan-kirtan, parikrama or special rituals. If a person has health problems and cannot sit for a long time, he can worship with devotion even while standing.
What is the importance of posture while worshipping?
According to religious beliefs, it is not considered appropriate to sit directly on the ground while worshiping. A seat should be used for this. By doing puja while sitting on the asana, the energy of the body remains balanced and the mind also remains more calm. This is why there has been a tradition of using a certain posture at the time of worship.
Important things to keep in mind while worshiping
- Take bath before puja and wear clean clothes.
- Always perform puja in a quiet and clean place.
- Keep your mind calm and positive during worship.
- Remember God with full devotion and faith.
