How to arrange the Puja items used in
puja ?
Arrangement of puja items used in puja vidhi is based on the
level of the Panchatattvas (Five Cosmic Principles). It demonstrates the
journey of the individual from Maya (The Great Illusion) to the Brahmatattva
that is associated with the Panchatattvas starting from the Pruthvitattva to
Akashtattva. This article gives analyses from the spiritual perspective, how
and why by arranging the puja items in a
specific way before puja, we derive benefit of the Divine Principle.
1. First level – Naivedya and Puja
thali
A. Banana leaf used for offering
Naivedya
This signifies the actual gross state of the individual.
Offering Naivedya is the last step in puja. The (Naivedya carrying) leaf is
placed facing downward. Offering Naivedya helps please the superior Deities,
Deity of the premises and Deity of the place in shorter time. In the actual
arrangement do not place the Naivedya leaf. Offer Naivedya only after puja has
been completed.
In the platter,
towards yourself, place a betel-nut and betel leaves and offering of money.
Betel-nut and betel leaves are effective mediums to emit Divine waves.
2. The second level – A kalash, a
tumbler and a ritualistic s
Place these puja items in the centre. Water being pure, it is able to absorb nirgun waves of Deity the most. This is referred to as ‘the central channel in sagun ̣of the arrangement of implements, that is, Sushumnanadi; for, water in the kalash maintains appropriate balance of Panchatattvas. Place the platter in the centre and in it to the left of the individual, place the kalash (the functional Energy of the Deity) & to the right, place puja items like the tumbler, ritualistic spoon that are used in the rituals.

3. The Third Level
The ghee lamp :
· Place to the left of the individual.
The camphor Arati :
·
Place
it next to the ghee lamp. The marak fragrance waves emitted by the camphor
purify the atmosphere. Hence, the camphor Arati is placed to the left of the
individual, that is, to the right side of the Deity.
The coconut :
· Place the coconut in the centre in
close proximity to the Deity. By placing the coconut with its tuft facing
upwards, Divine waves from the universe activated by the worship are attracted
to it and are emitted into the atmosphere like a fountain, thus purifying it.
4. The fourth level – Conch and Bell
The conch :
· Place the conch to the left of the
individual.
The bell :
·
Place
the bell to the right of the individual.
5. The fifth level – Samai
Place two samais of equal height, one on each side of the
Devghar (temple at home). Preferably use sesame-seed oil to light the wicks in
these lamps.To symbolise this, these lamps are placed on both sides of the
Devghar (temple at home).
