1		Pooja	Worshipping with an utmost sincerity, one's chosen deity by offering water, incense, lamp, flowers and fruits, daily at a prescribed time, usually the early morning and/or at the sun-set hours, is called as 'Pooja'. These above mentioned five items have a very deep religious symbolic relevance. They are: Water=Purity, Incense=Ambience, Lamp=Inner-attention aflame, Flowers=To open up inwardly, Fruits=Fructification in consciousness. Over and above to these five, camphor is lit and waved before the deity. Perhaps, camphor is the only known material when burnt, does not leave behind any residue. This is to symbolize that one's EGO has to be burnt, without retaining any residue behind! Pooja can be such an intense and as well an integrated orientation, in search for TRUTH.
