पूजा हमारी उपस्थिति को जानने और इस जीवन में जो कुछ भी उन्होंने हमें दिया है उसके लिए भगवान के प्रति हमारी कृतज्ञता का भुगतान करने का एक तरीका है । अब डिजिटलाइजेशन की दुनिया में पूजा के तरीकों ने भी अपग्रेड कर इस नई तकनीक को अपनाया है। साथ ही महामारी के समय में इसकी तासीर भी कई गुना बढ़ गई है। इस बार हम किसी भी चीज के करीब नहीं आ सकते क्योंकि हमें सोशल डिस्टेंसिंग बनाए रखने, जगह को साफ करने, मास्क पहनने और जरूरी सावधानियां बरतने की जरूरत होती है । तो, आइए इस लेख में इसके बारे में अधिक जानें।
भगवान से प्रार्थना करते समय सोशल डिस्टेंसिंग बनाए रखें
चूंकि कोरोना एक संक्रामक बीमारी है इसलिए मंदिरों में जाते समय सोशल डिस्टेंसिंग बनाए रखना हमारे लिए बहुत जरूरी है। हम घंटी या किसी भी भगवान आदर्श स्पर्श नहीं कर सकते, जबकि किसी भी अनुष्ठान के रूप में वहां इस बीमारी को पकड़ने का डर होगा । हम सब कर सकते है दूरी से देवताओं का स्वागत है ।
अपने स्थान पर आराम से बैठें और तुरंत पूजा सेवाओं को बुक करें
पूजा के कई प्रकार होते हैं और हमारे हिंदू पौराणिक कथाओं और हर साल अनगिनत त्योहारों के अनुसार हमारे पास करोड़ों देवता हैं । चूंकि हमारा जीवन बहुत तेज हो गया है, इसलिए लोगों के पास इन चीजों को कुशलता से करने के लिए समय की कमी है । पिछले कुछ सालों में कई चीज़ें बदल गई हैं, इसलिए परमेश्वर पर हमारा विश्वास और भरोसा स्थिर बना हुआ है । जैसा कि हम अभी भी अपने धर्म और मूल से खुद को जुड़ा हुआ पाते हैं। ऑनलाइन पूजा सेवा हमारे भगवान के साथ एक संबंध बनाने के लिए एक प्रभावी तरीका के रूप में देखा जा सकता है । इसके लिए आपको अपनी जगह नहीं छोड़नी होगी, क्योंकि आपको बस इतना करना है कि आप अपने कार्यस्थल या घर पर आराम से बैठकर सभी रस्में करें। आप कार्ड या किसी भी भुगतान गेटवे के माध्यम से भुगतान करके कई भुगतान विकल्पों का विकल्प भी चुन सकते हैं।
योग्य पंडित के साथ अपनी पूजा बुकिंग आरक्षित करें
एक बार जब आप अपनी पूजा बुकिंग की पुष्टि करते हैं, तो एक योग्य पंडित अपने स्थान पर आपकी पूजा के लिए सभी आवश्यक व्यवस्था कर देगा। जिस क्षण पूजा शुरू होगी, आपको अपना शीर्षक बताना और उसे गोत्रा बताना होगा और इंटरनेट संकल्प का चयन करना होगा । इस तरह आपकी पूजा शुरू हो जाएगी और आप इसके सभी लाभ उठाकर बेहद सफल बना पाएंगे । इतना ही नहीं बल्कि कई श्रद्धालु अपने जाप और पठों को ऑनलाइन बुक कराते हैं।
पंडित से मास्क पहनने के लिए कहें और इसे न हटाएं
मंदिर में प्रवेश करने या कोई अनुष्ठान करने से पहले आपके लिए यह देखना जरूरी है कि पंडित ने जरूरी सावधानियां बरती हैं या नहीं। बाहर की जांच करें कि वह मास्क पहना था या नहीं, यह भी देखें कि वह दस्ताने पहने हुए है और एक पूरी एहतियात किया है या नहीं । इसके अलावा, यह जांचना बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है कि उस स्थान पर स्वच्छता स्थापित की गई है क्योंकि मंदिर परिसर में प्रवेश करने से पहले कई श्रद्धालुओं को चलना पड़ता है।
समापन
क्या आप कोरोना वायरस के संपर्क में आने के बिना अपनी पूजा करवाना चाहते हैं? यदि हां, तो आपको कुछ सावधानियां बरतने की जरूरत है। मंदिर में प्रवेश करने से पहले की तरह, आपको यह देखने की जरूरत है कि जगह अच्छी तरह से साफ है या नहीं। चूंकि हर दिन कई श्रद्धालु मंदिर जाते हैं और स्वच्छता स्थापित करना महत्वपूर्ण है जो कोरोना वायरस होने की संभावना को स्वचालित रूप से निष्प्रभावी कर देता है। इनसे संपर्क में आने से पहले पंडित का तापमान जरूर चेक कर लें। हमेशा मास्क पहनें, सैनिटाइजर ले जाएं और खुद को सुरक्षित रखने के लिए सावधानियों का पालन करें।

According to the Hindu calendar, Holika Dahan will be done on Sunday, 28 March, on this day; Holika Dahan’s Muhurta is on the full moon from 6:37 pm to 8:56 pm. According to the Hindu calendar, on March 29, in the Pratipada date of the Krishna Paksha of Phalgun month, Holi will be played.
The legend behind Holika Dahan is the story of Asura Kingdom Hiranyakashipu and his son Prahlada, who was an ardent devotee of Lord Vishnu.
Hiranyakashipu was the king of the Asura and his son was an ardent devotee of God. This was not liked by Hiranyakashipu at all. He did not want Prahlad to worship Lord Vishnu, so he repeatedly stopped Prahlad from worshiping him.
Despite the repeated refusal of Hiranyakashipu, Prahlad did not allow any shortcoming in his devotion, he used to worship Lord Vishnu with a sincere heart.
Distressed by Prahlad’s devotion, Hiranyakashipu decided to give death to Prahlad.
Hirayankashipu used to try to kill Prahald again and again but Lord Shree Hari would protect Prahlad again and again.
Hirayankashipu then called his sister Holika. Holika had a sheet that Agni could not even touch after covering it, which she received after performing the harsh penance of Lord Shir Hari Kripa After wearing the sheet (chadar), Prahald sat in the place of fire with his on his lap, but by Shri Hari Kripa the sheet was removed from Holika and came on Prahlada, and Holika was burnt to ashes and Prahlad survived.

As you all will know that Holashtak will begin on the Asthami of Shukla Paksha of Phalgun month i.e. on 21 March 2021 from Sunday, the full moon of Phalgun month Shukla Paksha will remain till 28 March 2021 the question arises that in these 8 days inauspicious why is it forbidden to work?
Auspicious work is prohibited because Kharmas is starting on Sunday, March 14, 2021, Sun God has entered the zodiac sign of Lord God, and the planet Venus has been established, March 21, 2021, is the beginning of Holashtak from Sunday which is 28 March 2021 days will remain till Sunday, in these 8 days, the work of devotion and meditation is considered appropriate.
Manglik works are banned due to the departure of Venus and the commencement of kharmas. According to mythology, it is belived that when Lord Shree Bholenath had consumed Kamdev in anger, Holashtak started from that day.
It is not considered appropriate to do my auspicious work in these 8 days because there is a legend about it. Hiranyakashyap, king of the demons, told his son Prahlada but Prahlada did not obey his father. Due to the devotion of Lord Vishnu, Lord Hiranyankashyap gave many kinds of tortures to Prahlada and became very angry due to his displeasure with the son.
In the devotion of Prahlada from the Ashtami to the full moon of the month Ashtami to the full moon of the month of Phalgun, he suffered so much, but the devotion of Prahlada has so much power that Lord Vishnu protected his life every time, which all the efforts of Deer Kashyap failed, then Hirankashyap on the eight day i.e. On the full moon of Falgun Shukla Paksha, his sister Holika was entrusted to kill Prahlada.
Holika had already received the boon of Brahma Ji that she could not burn in the fire. Now Holika sat in the fire with Prahlada in her dock but Vishnu Ji saved his devotee Prahlada, Holika burned even Prahlad did not touch the fire.
For this reason, these 8 days are not considered auspicious.

In Sanatan Dharma, the festival of Maha Shivratri is considered very special; it is a special day of worship of Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to the belief, people who worship Bholenath with a true heart get a true life partner and every wish is fulfilled. Shivratri is on a great union of Shiva and Shakti, according to the North Indian, Mahashivratri is organized on the Chaturdashi of the Krishna Paksha of Falgun month. Holy festival of Mahashivratri this year is coming on Thursday, March 11. Now the question arises that where did the festival of Mahashivratri come from?
Some Puranas say that the creation started on this holy day of Mahashivratri. Some puranas also say that Lord Shiva and Parvati were married on this day because this marriage festival was celebrated by devotees on the day of Mahashivratri.
Now how to do this fast, what to do, on this day, first of all, Shiva devotees should take a Sankalp, you can start your puja and also keep your fast. Sankalp is taken Before starting the puja, that this puja is completed and my wishes are fulfilled, for this, a Sankalp is made in which you should take fruit, money, rice, suppose you do not have all these things available, then you should take it with the water in your hand and assume with your mind, that all these things are in your hands, then it is called Sankalp.
On the day of Shivratri, go to the temple and first offer water to the Shivling, then offer milk, curd, ghee and honey sugar to shivji, Now offer milk on the Shivling and again add water and apply sandalwood tilak on the Shivling. And offering them fruit flowers and Shami leaves, burn a ghee lamp in front of the Shiva Lingam and chant the mantra of Shiva milk throughout the day. If possible, get Rudrabhishek done by a Brahmin. If you can’t get it done, worship Lord Shiva equally and keep chanting the Panchakshari mantra of Namah Shivaya. Everyone needs money in this world, to fulfill this need; one should do Rudrabhishek with sugarcane juice. Those who desire to have children should anoint the lingam of lord shiva with milk. If anyone has any problem related to health or waking up in the night and having nightmares, then he must definitely anoint Rudra of Lord Shiva with the water of Kush.
After doing Rudrabhishek, you should chant jagran kirtan recitation at night, because Shivratri only means that any work done on this night of Shiva is very fruitful.
One should do whatever is possible as a donation to a poor person, you should give money and should take blessings form him, whoever observes this fast gets wealth, knowledge, wisdom, longevity, and salvation.
By doing this, all your desires are fulfilled and Lord Shiva removes all your troubles.
