❓ How should one approach temple worship (puja vidhi)?

Temple worship follows systematic procedures outlined in the Padma Purana. Begin with physical and mental purification through achamana and pranayama.

Essential elements include:

• Proper dress code and cleanliness
• Offering flowers, fruits, and incense
• Reciting mantras with correct pronunciation
• Maintaining focused devotion throughout

Modern research indicates that ritualistic worship induces theta brain waves associated with deep meditation. The systematic approach helps develop concentration and mindfulness.
