A puja is a bhakti yoga practice which can be very elaborate. Together, we will do a simple puja, which you will then be able to do on your own any time. We will provide a sheet with the chants, as well as a photo of Ganesha to print out if you like. We’ll talk about the symbolism of the offerings and developing bhav, or feeling, in the worship practice. It’s a sattvic feast for the senses.
