## What is Advanced Shiva Puja?

This Advanced Puja App contains a beginners Puja, an intermediate Puja, an advanced Puja and a complete system for fire sacrifice. The yajna is the union between the fires burning in the ajna cakra, the light of meditation, and the howan kunda, the sacrificial altar. This union allows the sacrifice of all egotism and duality.

Book is presented with original Sanskrit mantras (in big and clear font), a Romanized phonetic transliteration, and a complete English translation. Total pages 449.

About Author:

Esoteric knowledge of Divine worship (puja), which was once only in hold of elite Indian priests, is now made available by Swami Satyananda Saraswati to all sincere seekers of Truth. Who else can better explain this other than a man who moved from West to East, lived there for more than 20 years learning and practicing Divine worship, and then return to the West with his Self-realized guru Shree Maa to share this eternal knowledge with us all.

### 5/5 — Great resource!

*2016-07-30*

I do the Sri Chakra puja I learned from Swami Chetanananda, but I've been curious about others.  Upon perusing the book I was pleasantly surprised, it is packed with wonderful material completely worth reading and contemplating even aside from doing the puja.  if you DO want to do the puja, this is an even better resource!  It is advanced, so you'll need other sources for some of the mudras, but most should be easy to find on the net.  Very nice work, thank you so much Shri Maa and Swamiji, infinite blessings to you both!  ॐ

### 5/5 — Perfect!
