When should you perform the Puja?

The Puja should be done everyday, early morning. The devotee should take bath, wear fresh traditional Hindu attire and perform the puja. The devotee must avoid partaking any food until the puja is completed. Devotees in Nithyananda branch Aadheenams and centers can participate in the daily Sri Guru Puja and Sri Shiva Puja, at the time when it happens in their respective timezones. Others can participate everyday on nithyananda.tv at 7:00 AM IST.

Please see the guidelines section for detailed do's & dont's.

What if I miss the puja on a day?

If the puja is missed, the devotee can perform it twice the next day to restore the space of integrity you hold to the Sri Guru and to Sri Sadashiva-Adishakti. When one performs this Prayaschitta (conscious action to break a pattern) they should perform it with Completion that they will not miss doing puja again.

Why is Puja relevant in today's world?

Puja is the simplest and most authentic way you can connect and commune with the Divine. It awakens in one the Advaita Bhakti - the space of devotion rooted in Oneness with Cosmic Consciousness. For many millennia, across all changing ages, these rituals have been practiced and passed down onto generations proving their timeless sacredness and power.

In Nithyananda Sangha, puja is performed as a daily spiritual ritual. It stands for the Four Powers - Integrity, Authenticity, Responsibility and Enriching in all aspects. Performing Puja regularly as a 'Nithya Karma, daily practice' will enable and empower you to live these powers.
