Nitya Puja Vidhi with Shodashopachara, Panchopachara, Yantra, Tantra, Mantras, and Mudras
Nitya Puja Vidhi is a daily spiritual practice that involves systematically worshiping the divine using Shodashopachara (16 steps of worship) or Panchopachara (5 steps of worship). These traditional methods are complemented by the use of Yantras (sacred geometric diagrams), Tantra (esoteric techniques), Mantras (sacred chants), and Mudras (hand gestures) to deepen the spiritual connection and awaken inner energies.
This practice is not merely a ritual but a transformative spiritual discipline designed to align the practitioner with divinity, enhancing their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It integrates multiple aspects of devotion, meditation, and self-discipline, making it a complete sadhana for spiritual growth.
