People would always have several doubts on what to offer bhagwan in their daily puja. For some it will be a million dollar question of how to do an express puja yet a satisfying one.
Refers to the offerings and services made to Bhagwan as part of worship. In shastras there are a count of upachara pujas we do.
पांच उपचार पूजा - 5 Upacharas
षोडशोपचार पूजा - 16 "
चतुःषष्ट्युपचार पूजा - 64 "
Out of these panch is used for daily puja.
Some use 16 upachras who are well versed with the way of doing it Effortlessly and have abhishekam at home daily. 64 is exclusively for festivals and special vrat. One can choose to do 5 upacharas daily and finish your puja peacefully.
After bath and dressing with (washed clothes only) should arrange their requirements for puja.
Take water separately for Aachaman and Puja. Water shouldn't be used from same paatra ideally. Perform Aachaman as per your practice & for beginners - YouTube
Bhoota Shudhi and Pranayam
Bhootashudhi is performed to clear out negative energies around and activate the Bhootas around. This is done by sprinkling water in all directions of Dikpalakas. Special pujas have Nyasa as part of this. Pranayam is compulsory for Breath control.
Gayatri and sandhyavandan is Compulsory for Dwijas. Adwijas who haven't got initiated can perform Surya Araadhna by performing Arghyas. This is individual specific again some Adwijas might be initiated to mantras too so they perform. This step shouldn't be skipped.
Has 16 types of offerings which are done when one has enough time or if one is used to it. Festivals needs this 16 atleast as it has kalash sthapan and avahan
Neivedyam
Based on free time people can opt to cook prasadam daily.
Along with any of the prashad in mornings if one is present at home offered Anna + ghee is very imp as anna is parabhram swarup. If people have habit of eating Roti then offer Roti and dal etc what ever is cooked without onion and garlic. Simply offer roti ghee and gudd for bhog
If people are working and not available at home then offer same in the evenings soon after u finish cooking.
Always maintain a kalash or glass full of water on the sim Hasan or near the idols. Water is important element.

Pradakshina Mantra
यानि कानि च पापानि जन्मान्तरकृतानि च ।
तानि सर्वाणि नश्यन्ति प्रदक्षिणपदे पदे ॥
पदे पदे या परिपूजकेभ्यः सद्योऽश्वमेधादिफल ददाति ।
तां सर्वपापक्षयहेतुभूतां प्रदक्षिणां ते परितः करोमि ॥
Stand outside the asan and turn around 3 times.
Mantra Pushpam

Sit peacefully eat some prashad and give it to your family members. It is very important to share and eat the prashad. If a man eats without sharing it won't fructify. So share the prashad even if it is little and eat all family together and stay blessed together.

Sanaskritam is a very tricky language. It has beautiful placement of words and one needs good wisdom to understand the origin of it's placement and Tatparya. Mantras are segregated into various categories based on it's usage in Aachara. There are several acharas like Vedic, Vama
Kaula, Vaishnava, Madhwa etc. Different mantras require different level of repetitions to attain Sidhis or say the ability to use the mantra for said cause / mostly Loka Kalyana for large cases. There are many controversies regarding chanting a mantra with or without Guru.
Temples have better infrastructure when we donate our best. Dharmakartas of various temples are waiting for people to really get some help.
Identify temples in remote areas, villages, In cities with less infrastructure and no good facilities.
Donated for infrastructural maintainence. Gather people with like minds and work on uplifting the situations of the temples. Don't just give money and expect them to do things. Bring diff people under an umbrella who can work in various areas and collect resources and help
Money donations is not just the way to do things. Change the way you donate. Change the way you want to do things. Plant Trees, give lights, do what ever u can. Provide annadana... Provide them CCTV help through providers.

1. Never wear crumpled clothes. Don't leave heaps of clothes unwashed or washed. Fold them immediately as negatives come and get accumulated in the same
2. Washing clothes on Thursdays reduces the prosperity of the house gradually
Unfolded clothes and crumpled clothes indicate unorganized energies, they attract more negative then positive. Clean and neatly ironed clothes, atleast folded if not ironed should be worn for Shree kataksha.
Thursday is called as Lakshmivaar as per Lakshmi Puraana.
On Thursdays one should avoid washing clothes and involve in cleaning home and decorate for her Aagaman. She visits the home on Thursday evenings 🙏🏼
