Namaste! I would like to express my Gratitude to you, Om Shanti, for the Wonderful Protective Puja! 🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷
I notice that “social” holidays have almost completely disappeared from my life, and entirely different festive days now have value for me, such as Mahashivaratri and Puja.
During the Puja, I prepared a clean space, a candle, flowers, and red threads, and played Shiva Manas Puja. After listening once, I began singing along with the wonderful performer in the video, reading the transliteration, and on the following occasions I sang along while reading the Sanskrit sentences. This became possible thanks to my acquaintance with Sanskrit and my initial studies of it at the Shantaram Ashram. The girl’s beautiful singing helped me understand some words by ear, while Om Shanti’s translation made it possible to vividly visualize what was happening.
The photos and videos from the Puja are simply enchanting! Everything is so vivid, colorful, beautiful, and immersive—when you watch and listen, holding your breath, you feel completely present at the Puja. (A tender desire arises to prepare all this together with you



.) I have noted many times that after the Puja, life becomes different (especially): a day lived without thoughts of the Higher, without the Name of God, without practices, without Sadhana, seems to lose its Meaning and Value. After the Puja, a special Joy always arises in His unspoken Presence in my life!











And your, Om Shanti, Gift for the Spring Celebration is very delightful!
