The Morning Pooja

Setup:

Place a cloth (asan) facing Maharaj in the North or Eastern direction

Use two asans for Shreeji Maharaj and place the Murtis stacked together in the center

Prasad: Prepare a small dish/bowl of dry fruits

Tilak Chandlo:

Create a paste of sandalwood by grinding it on a small bowl-like container (orasiyu)

Then put it on the U-shaped utensil and apply on your forehead to create the tilak

Use the cylinder container of kumkum powder to apply a round chandlo in the center of the tilak

Now proceed to make a tilak chandlo using the paste of the sandalwood on both your upper arms and chest

Women should apply only a small chandlo on the forehead

Dandvats: 

Men: Perform at least 6 dandvat pranams

Women: Perform at least 6 panchang pranams

During the first 5, sing the Sankalp Prathana: "Ho Pran Pyara Shreeji ..."

During the 6th, pray to Maharaj and ask for forgiveness for any mistakes you might have made or for any mistakes you might make

Thal:

• Now take the small bowl of prasad we prepared earlier and hold it in front of the Murtis

• Slowly offer the prasadi to each Murti

• Sing the Thal as well: "Jamo Thaal Jivan Jau Vari ..."

• Note: Do not eat Prasad until the puja is over, leave it in the bowl.
