Methods of worship

Methods of  Worship


Human race is considered as the most supreme race in the planet. But we don’t know who created us. There are many theories and proposals which reflects light upon our civilization. Since, the era of human civilization, human beings established faith upon Mother Nature. Subsequently, in those days people began worshiping nature, earth, sun, moon and so on. Thus gradually the concept of God came into force.

If we go by history or ancient civilization, we can witness the presence of Pasupatinath during the Harappa age or Indus Valley civilization. According to the Vedas or Sanathan Dharma, we worship or please Gods in three distinct different manners. Namely Tantra, Mantra and Yantra.




Tantra: in this approach, a devote worships Gods with the employment or involvement of his physical body. Actually the word Tan refers to a physical body. For example keeping fasting in a specific day or during the time of festivals. Walking bare foot to the temple or pilgrimage, doing dhyanm and so on.





Mantra: the word mantra means religious hymens, prayers or sacred words which we recite or chant in order to please God. For example reciting of Human Chalisa, Maha mritunjay mantra, Gayatri mantra and so on.




Yantra: the word Yantra refers to a tool or medium by which we please Gods. For example the wide practice of Hawan Kunda, worship of Shiva Lingam. By the means of Yajna or hawan we offer prayer to the celestial bodies or God.
