HOW TO DO PUJAS IN THE HOUSE?

How to arrange your Puja Rooms and conduct Puja in your house?

Provide separate room or separate place to conduct puja and prayers, where your guests or visitors do not trespass or may not have an easy access. This is to ensure the sanctity of the Puja room or place.

The Pictures of the God and the Goddess should be placed in the top-most layer. The pictures of Navagrahas & the Guru/Acharya/Yogi's should not be placed alongside the pictures of the God and the Goddess.

. The Pictures of the Navagrahas (if any) should be placed below the pictures of the Gods.

You must clean the Puja room and utensils used for Puja atleast once in a day.

The pictures of dead ancestors must not be kept in the Puja room. The Pictures of the dead ancestors should not be fixed above the height of the Pictures of the God or the Goddess in any place within your house. The Pictures of the dead ancestors should not be placed prominently in a place overlooking the main entrance of the house. 

Never use any utensils that are used for common cooking purpose to prepare any dish to offer to the God. Similarly use separate utensils and Puja accesories for conducting Pujas.

Do not do Puja, when someone is sleeping in another room of the house.

Do Puja only when everyone in your family has finished their bathing. Never allow anyone to take head bath after the completion of Puja on that day. Never wash your house with water after the completion of Puja.

Remove all the flowers that are dried up. Allowing the dried flowers to remain hanging up for more days is not considered good. Do not throw the dried flowers in the pathway; trash it carefully into the dustbin @ the dried flowers should not be trampled upon.

You can offer any flower to the God. You can also offer any leaves, if you are not able to get any flowers.

You can offer any fruits or cooked food to the God. You should not offer any food or fruits that had already been tasted. If you don't have access to any fruits or any cooked food, simply offer the drinking water.

The Person must be bodily clean, when he/she prepares the food for the God @ the food should not be offered to the God, if a unclean person prepares it.

Do not offer any Non-Vegetarian foods to the God, as this will bring more curse.

You can place the Pictures of the God overlooking West and South direction @ you must face either East or North direction, while praying to the God.

Anyone who faces the West and/or the South directions while praying may not get the desired results.

You must light up lamps either with Ghee or Gingelly oil. Never use anyother oil or mixed up oil.

The Lamp should be placed either facing the North or West or East direction only. Never light up the lamp, while it is facing the South direction.

The Lamps lit with ghee or gingelly oil should not be put out immediately after the completion of Pujas. The Lamps should be allowed to be lit, till the complete burning out of incense sticks (agarbathi) or benzoine (samprani).

You must put out the lamps either by pulling the thread back into the oil or by using the flowers. You should not put out the lamp by blowing air out of your mouth.

Never interrupt your Puja in the middle, whatever be the reason. The Level of concentration is very important in your Puja.

It is better to do Puja in the empty stomach; you will lack concentration on the Puja, if you had eaten too much.

Empty the water (that you had offered to the God on the previous day) into any plants that you grow in the house or empty into your well (if you possess it) or simply mix it in the water that is to be used for your bathing.

The Auspiciousness Of The Sacred Turtle

             Vastu Shastra is one of the ancient disciplines that have originated in India. It relates to the study of architecture of the house or building. It is believed that each direction is associated with some or the other force in nature; this force becomes the reason for certain kind of energy flowing in the house. This energy affects the moods of the inhabitants, which further affects their work or personal life. Thus, the cycle of energy affecting the life goes on. Sometimes, people ignore these simple tips and continue the construction of the house as per their own sweet will. This way, they end up creating problems in their own lives. However, there are some cases when people unknowingly construct the house in a wrong way. This again becomes a reason for various problems such as increased arguments among the family members, uncontrolled flow of money from the house, uncontrolled expenditures and, sometimes, poor health of the inhabitants as well. 

However, since every problem has a solution, there are remedies for such mistakes as well. Vastu Shastra says that keeping certain things in the house, such as wind chimes, the sacred turtle, etc., can help to get rid of the negative energy. These objects radiate positive energy, which ensures peace and prosperity in the house. Importance Of The Sacred Turtle as Per Vastu Shastra and Feng Shui A similar study originated in China, which is known as Fengshui. The turtle has been described as an auspicious object for the flow of positive energy in the house, according to that study as well. The Fengshui turtle is associated with Lord Vishnu, according to the Vastu Shastra. Since Lord Vishnu had taken the form of a turtle at the time of the Samudra Manthan and helped the Gods in achieving success in the Samudra Manthan, the sacred turtle is thus associated with the same auspiciousness. Benefits Rendered By The Sacred Turtle Based On Its Type However, there are certain rules which need to be observed for keeping these objects in the house. Not observing these rules and keeping them in wrong ways can render the positive energy radiated by them to be negligible. 

In order to help you out, we have brought to you the following tips. Take a look. 

1. Keeping it at the main door helps maintain peace in the house. The minor arguments that arise among the family members do not turn into fights and distances. It doesn't let the negative energy enter the house. 

2. Keeping it in the East ensures a good health of the family members. 

3. North East is another good direction, which ensures that there is no shortage of money in the house. 

4. Keeping a crystal turtle in the house as well as in the office is said to be auspicious for the flow of money. 

5. A turtle made of soil is also a good remedy if the members of the house are often suffering from health problems. 

6. Many a time, people put in the best of their efforts, but they do not get a job, or might not be able to achieve success in exams. Keeping a brass turtle in this case helps achieve success in job and career. 

7. Minor arguments and issues are a part of the life of every man. These are common in every house. However, these arguments might take the form of big distances between people. In order to prevent this from happening and maintain peace and harmony in the house, a couple of turtles must be kept. 

8. We often ask for Muhurtas (auspicious timings) whenever we are to start a new business. We do all that as it can help the business turn into success. Along with the Hawan (holy ceremony involving rituals offered before fire) and the right amount of hard work, keeping a metal turtle, especially one made of Silver is really beneficial. It protects the business from losses and helps earn more profits. 

9. The business becomes a success soon. The turtle can be kept in the office or the shop. Similarly, there are many couples deprived of babies, they must keep a turtle which carries a baby turtle on its back, so that they are blessed with a baby.

On the other hand, if you are accumulating wealth only to meet your selfish motives, Laxmi will soon leave out.

This is explained in Shantiparva. According to the text, Laxmi appeared before Indra, as he sang praises for her, along with Narad. This is because she gives complete glory; and since she appears from the lotus, she is also known as Padmaini.She lives in the houses of religious people; warriors who do not run away from battle; and those who defeat their enemies without malice in their own heart. Laxmi told Indra Dev that she resides in the homes of those people who are generous, intelligent, devout and honest. She elaborated, since asuras used to break religion, she left their place and started living with the Gods. Those who break their promises, don’t respect their parents and never donate, Laxmi does not stay with those people. The Goddess revealed that since asuras used to follow all non-religious things and Gods on the other hand were virtuous, she moved her place. She does not live at a place where fools are respected or a house where women and men indulge into immoral acts.Before ending her conversation, she told her various names to Indra. She is known as Bhooti, Shri, Shraddha, Medha, Sanati, Vijiti, Stithi, Dhriti, Siddhi, Samridhi, Swaha, Swadha, Niyati and Smriti
