Puja Mandirs
Puja Mandirs are at the center of every religion. It is a sacred place where we set up the holy idols and photo frames of the respective deities together with the other holy puja articles. It is believed that having an abode for the deities in the house attracts positive energy, keeps negativity and evil energies at a distance, and protects the home and family members living in this home from mishaps and any kind of bad omen. In Hinduism, Puja Mandirs plays a very important role. A place of consecration is an Alter, a place where we worship the Lord, pray, respect, and thank the Almighty.
Previously, people built a separate room for the puja, called the puja room/prayer room, where they put the mandir, the idols, the images, and all the worship of matter. Switching to now, people face issues with spaces, particularly in big cities with small flats and space crunch houses, and thus many have shifted to Puja Mandir building from wood or marble. Puja Mandir at home being the meditative and auspicious place of the house is important, while the building and Vastu can perfectly define where to construct.
Where to position Puja Mandir?
The ground floor is the best place to place the request at home.
It is important to consider the height during the construction of a mandir, the height at which the idols will be placed should be higher than the ground level. and if it is possible to place it at a height where the face of the idols rises to the height of your heart, it is perfect. Never put idols on the floor in the mandir according to vastu.
Avoid basements and higher floors for mandirs according to vastu.
Do not place the puja chamber under the staircase or against the bathroom wall. The placement thus will be inappropriate according to vastu.
Color choice
Choose light color options for the wall while placing a mandir in a puja bedroom or for the walls of the corners of the Puja Mandir. Try to keep the color subtle and soothing, like cream or white, or bright yellow. Do not use dark colors such as blue or black.
Puja Mandir material
Wood and marble are the most important option in the material selection for Puja Mandir. Avoid making mandrels with plastic or glass. Even the construction of a glass wall room for the puja room is advised against.
If possible, try to build a pyramid tower to mandir it, and avoid the flat roofs to mandir it Puja.
Direction for Puja mandir
In the Vastushastra, the east represents the sun rising and Lord Indra, so devotees are advised to pray facing north or east while offering prayers, and the mandir should be built towards the west or south.
Also make sure that the idols or images of God, are not facing one another or the door in the mandir.
Doors and windows must open either north or east.
Lamps, diyas, and Agni Kund are the best in the southeastern direction of Puja hall.
Always avoid having an order in the room.
The worship room is the power source for the entire house. Following Vastu-related tips for the Puja room increases the effect of positive energy for the house and its occupants but unknowingly and due to lack of sufficient knowledge while placing Puja Ghar or idols of Gods and Goddesses in the house Small mistakes happen, because of which we have to deal with issues several times. In this situation, according to Vastu Shastra, it is necessary to construct a place of worship.
At this time worship is carried out daily at home and there are special days designated to attend worship or aarti in the temple, In this also one must attend the cult of the temple every Thursday.
* There is no priest during house worship, whereas there is a priest in the temple, who duly performs the worship and aarti.
The atmosphere of the house and the temple are not the same. There are people inside the house and spirituality inside the temple. Adoration, aarti, or singing in the midst of the spiritual atmosphere in the temple gives appropriate benefits.
* In ancient times, there were separate places outside the home for temples and places of worship, where people used to gather and celebrate through worship, aarti, Yagya, or any other suitable work. The temples are private as well as public.
statue and reputation
Sanctify the temple idol only on the main day of this deity or when the moon is full. Ganesha's idol must remain seated in the house. Ganesh ji should never be set up in the eastern or western direction. Always keep the face of Ganesh ji to the north. The proper direction for setting up Ganesh ji is the South. The idol or photo of Hanuman ji should be set up in the northern direction. So her eyes stay in a southerly direction. Idols or images of gods and goddesses should be kept close to the wall in the eastern or northern direction in the house of worship. It is great to have an image of the divinity of the family in the house. It is preferable to place it on the east or north wall. The place to keep the light in the worship room should be in the southeastern direction of the Havan Kund or Yajnavedi. The temple in the house of worship should be arranged so that the person's face should not be southward. No idol or broken image should be kept within the worship hall. The height of the idols should also be minimal.
The tradition of a domestic temple or pooja mandir in Hinduism is centuries old and has deep roots in our culture. Our gratitude to the Lord is not just expressed through a Mandir, for without His grace and blessings, no task can be accomplished successfully or easily. It reflects our unwavering faith and conviction in our dedication.
A grand pooja mandir is the dream of all devotees. It is an offering to their Lord, to thank you not only for giving us cover over our heads but also for giving us life.
A pooja mandir also matters for many other reasons:
It is a way for us to welcome our deities and give Him a permanent place in our hearts and home. With His presence established, the pooja mandir serves as the central spiritual compass in our life to assure that wherever we go, or how far we lose ourselves, we still know where to find it.
With a dedicated mandap space, there is an inherent assurance that it will always be with us to protect our family from every evil and evil.
A house temple is a place to invoke his blessings by communing with him on a daily basis along with special occasions.
Just as every room of furniture or space in our home has a specific objective, therefore also a wooden puja mandir is used to create an atmosphere conducive to meditation, worship, chanting, and prayers.
A puja temple holds our spiritual thoughts and channels our vibrations, which penetrate through our heart, influence the spirit, and feed the soul. No matter how tired or disturbed we are, just being in the prayer room changes our whole mood and we feel spiritually exalted.
A house temple serves with the rite of transition from one generation to the next. It allows us to teach our religious values and Indian customs and traditions to our children, similar to what we inherited from our own parents.
A pooja mandap is a special gathering place where the whole family can unite, young or old, especially on special occasions for ceremonial worship of the divine and seeking his blessings.
Finally, a Pooja Mandir plays the central part of a family heritage, which is a very important part of our family legacy that we would like to pass on to the next generation.
To increase concentration,
When we go to the temple, we see the idol of God there, due to which our spirit remains in a concentrated state for a while. Apart from that, tilak is applied on the forehead after darshan, which puts pressure on a specific part of our brain. It enhances the person's concentration.
To increase the energy level,
During the darshan of God in the temple, we sound the bells and gongs installed there, whose sound never ceases to resound in our ears for some time. With this sound, some parts of our body become active, as a result of which the energy level rises.
Helpful in increasing immunity
During worship in the temple, we continue to clap by joining both the palms and fingers of the hand, as a result of which the pressure on the points made on them increases. Because of this, the body functions properly and our immune system is strong.
Protection from negativity and bacteria
Havana and Aarti are practiced throughout the temple, Because of this, bacteria in the air are destroyed and clean air reaches our lungs, reducing the risk of virus infection.
Removes stress
When entering the temple, we forget the stress and tension of life, the reason for this is the atmosphere of the temple premises, where the sound of mantra and conch shell continues to resonate in the ears all the time.
Keep these things in mind
According to Vastu, broken idols should never be preserved within the temple. This makes the negative energy resident. The red bulb is not to be used in the temple. It can be a source of mental stress. Always white bulbs must be installed in the temple. Photos of ancestors are not to be stored in the temple. Many photos of a God alone should not be installed in the temple. Keep the utensils clear in the temple. Also, clean the idols of the deities every day. Because of this, happiness and prosperity still remain in the home.
