Thank you for this information, guruji. I have missed this episode and have continued pooja without following several of the things said here. Is there any parihara? Also, I have some more doubts. You have said women should compulsorily wear kacche saree for this pooja. Is this only for sankashti pooja or any ganesha pooja/vratha that we do? Also, when I asked other peoples (because I don't know how to wear kacche saree) they told that wearing kacche saree is done only by madhwas. Can you please tell us the complete details so that we can follow?
ReplyDeleteThank you.

Hi Uma,
ReplyDeleteThis procedure was given by Guruji for this pooja. For any pooja sankashti or any ganesha pooja or vratha wearing traditional dress is always good. If you dont know to wear, nothing wrong in it. Offer your prayer with pure heart and dedication, it will do wonders.
Hai Uma,
ReplyDeleteI was in same position when I saw this program and Guruji explained that women must wear kacche when they wear sari for this pooje. I generally follow all the things that Guruji says, so I wanted to follow this also. As you said, generally only madhwas wear kacche like it is shown in the photo. So what I did is I went to Rayara matha to find someone who was wearing this type saree and asked them if they could teach me. After asking a few people I found one very helpful lady who asked me why I wanted to learn and when I told her it was for doing pooja in full madi, she agreed and she taught me. So I am able to follow Gurji's instruction and wear this type saree for this pooja. So if you really want to follow this and wear kacche when doing pooja, you can try asking some ladies in Rayara Matha to teach you. Also, if you want to wear kacche sari properly, you will need 9 yard saree, it is difficult to wear this using normal sari.
Hope my suggestion helps. If you cannot learn this, then as the reply to your email says, do the pooja with pure heart and full devotion thinking this is the best you can do. Best of luck.

My pranams to Poojya Sri Sri Sri Narendra Babu guruji. Your guidance are useful & very easy to perform also. My case is pending in court since last 8 years (financial related-cheque bounce Case). Opposite party is cheated so many members in the same manner & myself one among them. Kindly guide me to come out at the earliest and recover the amount from his end whatever the way is feasible.
