Our life will be filled with all the blessings by making conscious offerings to Lord Krishna, the protector of the universe and the guardian of Dharma. Not only the offerings that we have to make in the temples but also some of the rituals that we can do at home are very pleasing to the Lord. The most important thing is that, whatever you do, do it with complete devotion.
By worshipping Lord Krishna, you can achieve success in life and victory over enemies. He is an almighty deity capable of bestowing wealth and all riches and giving peace of mind and happiness. But it is not good to make sacrifices only for selfish gain and to live a life of blasphemy.
Some Krishna pujas that can be done at home
The first thing to do is to purify the mind and body, whether it is home worship or temple offerings. Before performing Krishna Puja, one should first purify their body and put some sandalwood paste on the forehead. Spread a white cloth on a clean table or pedestal and place the idol of Krishna on it. Arrange water, saffron, sandalwood powder, incense, Aarti lamp and flowers for sprinkling. Take fruits and flowers in a bowl. Keep a ghee lamp or sesame oil lamp. When everything is ready, take a spoon in your left hand and pour some water into your right hand and drink it three times saying ‘Om Achuthaya Nama’, ‘Om Anantaya Nama’ and ‘Om Govindaya Nama’. Then apply water on both hands and pat dry. Offer milk, ghee, flowers and water to the idol of Krishna by reciting the Brahma Samhita and other mantras and hymns. After the anointing, dry the idol and place food, flowers, water and ghee near the idol. Apply sandalwood to the idol of Lord Krishna. Light the lamp with the prayer ‘Shubham Karoti Kalyanam’. Say ‘Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu’. Then, chant any Krishna bhajan you like and offer the sandalwood candle seven times in a clockwise direction. Put a little saffron on Lord Krishna’s feet and then touch the tilak on your forehead. Then distribute Prasada saffron to the devotees around you. You can use fruits, water, offerings, flowers and rice as Prasada after a while. Or they can be deposited in running water or donated to others. After the pooja, chant ‘Hare Krishna’ or ‘Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya’.
Worshipping Lord Krishna protects you from evil spirits. This reduces the side effects of Ketu. Worshipping Lord Krishna is perfect for marital happiness and all kinds of spiritual and material development.
