Power of Internal Worship-Shiva Manasa Puja explained.

Shiva Manasa Puja is a composition by Jagadguru Shri Adi Shankaracharya in the 7th century AD. It is a beautiful composition guiding us through the process of “Manasa Puja”. Mansa Puja means worship that is done within our mind. 

Any thing done within the mind is thousands f times more powerful that that done externally. This is considered the optimal method of worship and reserved for advanced practitioners.

But, in this simple stotra, the esteemed Guru guides us through a short visualisation of the puja, thus creating a mental image and a simple method of internal puja.

I have therefore explained the meaning in detail for those interested in first understanding and then internalising the puja.
