The Scientific Procedure of a Puja or Hindu Ritual

A step by step process of changing the

Destiny or Future of one’s Life

Every time we create an action in the universe the whole universe rearranges itself to match that action. In this universe each one of us is an essential element that can create change for all, for example: If a person dies, the whole world history is rearranged to match that event. If a child is born, again, the whole world is rearranged to match the birth of this child. He or she could be the next president, prime minister, or doctor, etc., that will help change thousands of lives. Whenever someone gets married the universe must rearrange itself to receive the children of this marriage who will in turn change the future history of the world. So as you can see, an extension of Newton’s law of “ACTION AND REACTION ARE EQUAL” would be “A SMALL ACTION IS NECESSARY FOR THE CREATION OF A LARGE UNIVERSAL REACTION.”

The Ancient Hindu Scientists or Rishies were fully aware of the Laws of Action versus Universal Reaction and so with this knowledge, they implemented the scientific methods that were necessary to create controlled reactions in the universe; hence the necessity of Hindu rituals.

Whenever we create an action it affects the universe. Why not create controlled actions that will create the reactions that will bring prosperity and happiness for all, thus assuring our own happiness?

In performing Pujas, or Hindu Rituals, the methods were developed as follows:

1. Create a simulated version of the universe in the home and then perform specific actions that will create for us a journey throughout the universe, creating changes as we traverse it.
2. Prepare our body and soul to become the creator of specific actions that will affect the universe, such as purification, inner cleansing, etc., so that our soul and mind become a ‘launched space ship,’ so to speak.
3. Ask Lord Ganesh (Remover of Obstacles) to remove all hIndrances or spiritual blocks to this journey into the universe by taking off our spiritual vices such as our qualities of lust anger, greediness, ego, etc.
4. Ask Gowri Mata (Mother of the universe) for permission to enter into the universe so that we can create our reactions, for without a mother, no one can come into this world, nor can any Gods be born in the universe without a woman. It is only though the woman that all reality comes into the universe, and so the female energy’s permission is greatly needed.
5. Ask Mother Earth (Pritivi Mata) for permission to leave the earth so that we can proceed into the universe; make our request from the specific karmic forces or deity and then return back to earth.
6. Cross the Seven Oceans, or Seven Atmospheres of the Earth (Kalash, Ganga, Varuna, Devta Puja) so that we can get to the outer universe where Lakshmi (the Moon and the Sun) is located. The seven oceans match equally the seven layers of clouds or atmospheres around the earth and this must be crossed before our spiritual space ship can enter the universe.
7. Now that you have reached the Moon and the Sun you may perform Laxshmi Puja and ask the Goddess of Prosperity to bring some success and happiness into your life, thus creating some changes in the world that will match your request. With the light of Laxmi, we also must be granted enlightenment from Saraswaty, and solidity from Durga.
8. Having been granted wealth and prosperity, now you will have to request daily control of your life from the movements of the Nine Planets (The Nav Graha Devtas). Nav Graha Puja is performed to each Graha requesting that you receive positive rays of life from each one of them, making sure that you understand that some of these Grahas are enemies to each other, and the PUJA is performed with proper knowledge.
9. Having received permission from Mother Earth, removed the obstacles by Ganesh, obtained permission from Gowri, crossed the Seven Oceans, requested the blessings of Laxmi for more light, and visited each planet in the Solar System, we are now ready to ascend to…
   1. Mount Kalash (after Pluto) to perform complete Puja and request to Lord Shiva or the Goddess Durga for fulfillment of our desires to change the world and rearrange the universe to suit our purpose. Lord Shiva is known as the Lord of Time and Durga, the Goddess of Procreation of the World.

You may stop here for Lord Shiva and do Havan to compete Puja or if you have decided to do a Durga Puja, then the subsequent steps will be followed…

1. 1. After going to Lord Shiva, Lord Brahma made the request for Lord Shiva to get married.

As you can see, the Hindus do not do Magic in their rituals; in fact, they are very scientific in their methods for changing the Universe. If a proper and knowledgeable person does the Puja as stated, then the Puja is sure to become successful.

If Laxmi Puja is performed before Ganesh Puja, then the process is upside down. If Nav-Graha Puja is performed first, then the process is backward. Every Puja must follow a set procedure; there can only be one way to go into the universe.
