puja
Puja Booklet.pdfpuja.mp4Puja is a sacred ceremony often done at sunrise. This version of puja is the version I have learned from my teacher and honors the Goddess. It is a wonderful way to start your day, acknowledging the sacred in all, right at the beginning of the day.
meditations
OM VAKRA TUNDAYA HUM
A mantra to Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Ganesha removes obstacles not with force, but through wisdom and creativity. In fact, Ganesha sees nothing really as an obstacle, but rather part of the path, an opportunity. Because of this, he is always joyful - nothing is really a problem for Ganesha! Use this mantra to take on that energy of Ganesha within yourself. This would be a wonderful mantra to do at the beginning of something new. It would be especially powerful to take on as a sadhana, a daily practice. Practice it daily for 21, 40, or 54 days to really shift the energy.
