Thinking of the presence of Sri Hari in materials used in worship/ಪೂಜಾಸಾಧನದ್ರವ್ಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೀಹರಿಯ ಸಾನ್ನಿಧ್ಯ ಚಿಂತನೆ

SUMMARY: In each of the materials used in the daily worship of the Lord, including the sky and other things, Sri Hari exists in various forms. Think of his existence while using those things like utensils, water, anything and everything in the worship and offer them to Sri Hari, Sri Govinda; see him in everything, enjoy his presence and praise him for appearing in those things, objects or materials.

Worship of Sri Hari without abusing cold weather or scorching sun/ಚಳಿಬಿಸಿಲುಗಳ ನಿಂದಿಸದೆ ಪರಮಾತ್ಮನಿಗೆ ಅರ್ಪಿಸುವುದು

SUMMARY: Sri Hari will be impressed and acquaints with one who installs Him, Sri Padmanabha, in the mind, surrenders with unfaltering devotion, without abusing cold weather, hot condition or rains, submits smell that the Earth always has as the fragrance, water as the juice, the complexion as the sublime light, wind as the fan and various natural sounds as instrumental music.

The five elements of nature: Prthvi (earth), Jala (water), radiation or light (Tejas), wind (Vayu) and Akash (Sky) should be submitted to Sri Hari by believing that he is in all these things or elements, including various materials that are invariably made out of these elements or their combination, during the worship. This is the concept of total submission. There should be no room for suspicion, confusion or objection.

Worship should not stopped or halted or avoided or cut short due to vagaries of weather, be it winter, summer or rainy season. Besides, one should not scold, abuse, criticize or object to the changes that may appear in the atmosphere, depending on the time and place.

In a way, Sri Jagannatha Dasaru is telling how one should worship within one’s mind, if it is not possible to worship Sri Hari physically. Lord does not prescribe ways to offer worship or prayer. He simply wants blind, deaf and pure devotion. Devotion with comprehensive knowledge is another thing. Knowledge acquisition alone is not worship. These things have been mentioned in Chandogyopanishat.
