Home pooja

It's not really necessary go to the temple to worship God, to ask him for the blessing. Everybody can make a little altar at home with Jesus picture, Buddha, or other deity or symbol that remind you about the purity, inner peace and gives you a strength.
 There is my today's pooja at home

Burning incense and candles;  Kurma, Buddha and Rama with Sita

You can just meditate on the picture, it gives you the inner balance. You can sing the mantras- the vibrations of the sound purify yourself and the environment.
Better do it in one separate place, where you can keep purity, calm, and nobody will distract you. Every time when you enter to this room, from the beginning your mind will go to the state of calmness. This is a psychological process, as often you spend the time in this place in the state of harmony, as faster your mind associate the state with the place. Later, even the thought about this place will guide you into the relaxing state.

One more thing to share with you. My three deities from the pictures are the avatars of Vishnu.  Kurma: the second avatar, the turtle incarnation, Rama- the king incarnation, the seventh avatar , and Buddha- the ninth incarnation. In total, there is ten avatars with different history that i will tell you next time
