Pooja - That which is born out of fullness

Sri Sri performing Puja
The ancient sages brought sacredness in every celebration, so that you don't lose the focus in the hustle-bustle of the activity. Observing rituals and religious practices (called Puja) is simply showing  one's gratitude to the Divine. This brings depth to the celebration.

These practices, along with promoting spiritual values and harmony in the family and society, have a scientific foundation as well. Unfortunately today people do not have access to this understanding and the value systems and traditions are lost as a result.

Guru Gobind Singh

Guru Gobind Singh Ji (1666 -1708) was the Tenth of the Eleven Sikh Gurus. Born in Patna, Bihar in India, he was also a Warrior, Poet and Philosopher.

His life was full of courage, valour, wisdom, sacrifice and devotion. He fought for the helpless and against injustice of the people of his time. The Divine brilliance shining through him, he was a lamp of wisdom who lit thousands of ignorant hearts and guided them to live a virtuous life.
