The importance and holiness of any revered temple or worship altar is due to the history of the place and the work done there. Construction of a mere temple on a building, locality, or road does not cast enlightenment-consciousness on that location. That place attains holiness divinity only after the performance of multiple numerous rites-rituals of worship, mantra chanting, consecration, havan, Abhishek etc. regularly for many continuous years. Mount Kailash, Badrinath Dham, Vaishno Devi, Divine Jyotirlinga are sacred conscious pilgrimages because many-many sages, ascetics, and saints have continuously performed mantra chanting, sadhanas, havan, etc. with the full resonance of Veda scriptures.
Creating a worship room in the house or setting up a Deity heralds the initiation of holy divine consciousness within the house; expansion of happy, auspicious situations within the family; and growth of auspicious environment leading to the eradication of all negative disorders. When we setup a specific idol or deity of God-Goddess or Guru at worship-altar at home, then it becomes our sacred duty to clean-purify that place every morning-evening and perform mantra chanting, prayer, sadhana and aarti regularly. We have setup divinity within our own home, like our own family member, to obtain wisdom, energy, positivity, and guidance. We should offer whatever food is cooked at our home in the morning-evening to Gods-Goddesses setup in our worship-altar, before partaking it ourselves.
How would you feel if someone invites you to your house with honor-respect, but does not offer you any food or water for days altogether? Gods-Goddesses present in your worship-altar in photo or idol form, are also members of your own family. You should respect Them. This will expand the feeling of mutual respect and harmony among all family members.
You should regularly light lamp, incense and perform aarti and worship daily in morning and evening. You should pay obeisance to your Guru or Ishta before going to sleep at night. You should pray for success and auspiciousness whenever you go out of home for any work. Greet and thank Them upon return.
Prosperity will not arrive simply by setting up photos or idols of Ishta-deity or Gods-Goddesses. Paying obeisance regularly along with noble deeds will user in prosperity.
You should setup Ascetic Nikhilmaya Statue of SadGurudevji in your home definitely during Saavan month. Consecration-Abhishek and Charan-worship on Mondays will usher in auspicious divine Shiv-maya conditions in the family. You should obtain the complete process of Abhishek and Charan-Poojan worship from Kailash Siddhashram, Jodhpur.
Your own, Vineet Shrimali
