Para Puja

what to say about it!!!
is it puja or it is para(beyond) puja
only a divinity herself could have composed it.

we noramlly worship god with 16 upcharas they are

1 (DhyAna &) AvAhana (meditating, inviting & installing )

2 Asana (offering a seat)

3 pAdya (offering water to wash His feet),

4 arghya (offering water to wash His hands),

5 AchamanIya( water to sip & cleanse)

6 AsnAna (bathing)

7 vastra (garments),

8 upavIta(sacred thread)

9 (patra &) uShpa(leaves & flowers), (haridrA-kumkuma &) gandha(turmeric, vermilion powder, sandal wood paste),

10 AbharaNa (alankaraNa) (jewels),

11 naivEdya & tAmbUla(fruits, coconut, eatables & beetle leaves with areca nuts),

12 (managaLa) Arati (waving lighted oil/ghee lamps),

13 pradakShiNa (parikramaNa)

14 namskAra(going round the Deity & salutation),

15. prArthanA (stuti)(prayer)


16. udvAsana (bidding farewell)

sri sankara expresses his helpnessness to do so in state of consciouness
which is logical since u dont talk about the atributes of a person when he is present
in person


enjoy:

i have had an offer from flm but need a gaurantor which isnt really an option either .
i wondered if anyone had any loan companys that considered bad credit ,but loaned direct without these numerous sites with different alias but mainly did same thing pay us and we will get u loan (maybe)senario
has anyone also heard of a company called fresh loans they have they sent me details out but the may be a charge but not always ,i suspect she didnt want to tell me there was a charge
