The Observance of Puja Edupu!

In continuation to the below post - while performing “Puja Edupu” on Vijaya-Dashami whatever material – tool which you have kept for “Saraswati Avahanam” on the day of Ashtami  should be taken back for re-use and one activity has to be performed with every material - tool which was kept for worship.






Ayudha Puja - Vehicle  Puja can be performed on any day - Ashtami , Navami or Dashami.




How do we perform Puja Edupu?
After offering Saraswati vandana vocally -
I performed 2 dance steps,
Spread the rice that was reserved on a Tray and wrote OM on it,
Then I wrote OM on all books thus marking a new beginning,
Opened my paint box and coloured my sketch book randomly writing Om in a stylish manner and then finally,


Randomly i opened one page of BhagavadGita,
I randomly opened the 12th Chapter and Text 16,
The first verse I read after "Saraswati Avahanam"

"anapeksah sucir daksa
udasino gata-vyathah
sarvarambha-parityagi
yo mad-bhaktah sa me priyah"





What does this mean?
You should not depend on the Activities for livelihood and you should not strive for some results out of that activity. Activity should be free of materialism. 
This means when God gives you tools and materials, he will also teach you “How to use these tools with Discipline while performing any activity”


The other verse which was found opened on the left page of the Gita was 12th Chapter and Text 15.

"yasman nodvijate loko
lokan nodvijate ca yah
harsamarsa-bhayodvegair
mukto yah sa ca me priyah"






What does this mean?

He for whom no one is put into difficulty and who is not disturbed by anxiety, who is steady in happiness and distress, is very dear to me.

You can try putting me in Depression and Anxiety a 1000 times, but I will never be disturbed.
This is the meaning of Peace. And of course iam Dear to Lord Krishna, that’s what the verse claims.

Why not? My Grand Father had built a small Lord Krishna Temple and he offered reading BhagavadGita in my many temples, so why will I not be dear to Lord Krishna?

Your people make fun of me claiming – “She lost everything”
But I say I found God only after losing everything. Iam empty left with only Love.
Iam peaceful and happy , but seems your people have lost their happiness.
