JAY SWAMINARAYAN, We can strengthen our puja by not talking to everyone around us, only focusing on the murtis / eyes on the murtis while doing malas for each Maharaj and swami.

Jai Swaminarayan, Nitya puja is a personal daily meeting with God and the Gunatit gurus. Performing daily personal puja is a necessary quality of a true devotee. When you perform puja, think within yourself," Doing puja will strengthen my association with God. God will be pleased with me. I will experience God's divine and eternal bliss." Everyday say the mantra that Mahant Swami Maharaj has given to us AKSHARAM AHAM PUTUSHOTTAM DASOSMI. This mantra will help us to get connected to Maharaj and Swami. Think that the guru parampara is present before me.

Jay Swaminarayan! We can strengthen our bhakti by thinking of how much rajipo we will get by focusing on Maharaj's Murti and not getting distracted. Our one goal is MOKSHA. If we want to attain Moksha, we will have to improve our bhakti. That is what our online sabha talked about. It talked about our Daily Ahnik. We want to improve our Ahnik. It doesn't matter if our Satsang will be known to everyone or not. It's good enough if at least Bhagwan knows that we are true about our Satsang. Sometimes I forget to do some of my Ahniks during the day. If that happens, I ask for forgiveness and do an extra mala. After that, I make sure that I don't repeat that mistake. !Making Swami Smile! Jay Swaminarayan!

We can strengthen our focus while doing puja or other types of bhakti by forgetting all our other thoughts, any type of maya, and remembering only Maharaj and Swami. We can also try to remember a few prasangs to connect more with Swamishri and strengthen our focus while doing puja or any other type of bhakti. We should try to give all our attention to Maharaj and Swami because puja is our personal meeting with God, and bhakti is a way to connect with God. Jai Swaminarayan.

Jai Swaminarayan, While doing puja, we can improve our focus in many ways, such as cutting out distractions, putting on a bhajan, and thinking about only Maharaj and Swami. Firstly, we can cut out distractions by putting away the things around us, and sitting in a clean and organized spot, such as in front of our ghar mandir. Next, we can put on a bhajan to help keep us focused, so we are able to concentrate. Another thing that we can do is thinking about only Maharaj and Swami. To do this, we can ignore any noises or sounds around us, and get engaged in Maharaj's murti. Jai Swaminarayan

Jai Swaminarayan, To increase focus for any type of bhakti, we should read prasangs about our Gurus seva and austerities. Also, we should remember the childhood of all our guru's and Bhagwan, which will motivate us to become better at seeing Maharaj's murti in everything. I think the meditation technique that Jinabhai(Yogiji Maharaj's childhood name) used will increase focus and help us think about Maharaj and Swami more in Puja.

One way we can strengthen our focus while doing puja is to clear our minds and if we can not do so put on some kirtan. And when we do darshan we should not just look at the stone murtis but we should do darshan like Mahant Swami Maharaj do.

Jay swaminarayan There can be many ways which can help us strengthen our focus while doing puja or bhakti. I usually think of dada khachar and his bhakti towards maharaj. How he had been doing his puja and bhakti for his life after he met maharaj and how he had served him. I think about all the love he gave to maharaj that pleased him to stay there for 30 years. This is how I strengthen my puja and bhakti. Jay swaminarayan

Jay swaminarayan Whenever I think about maharaj I always think about Jivuba and Laduba. I think about the focus they had to see maharaj wherever they went. I see how they loved maharaj which made him stay there for 30 years. I think about the devotion they offered to maharaj to make them in their minds constantly. This is how we should all think about maharaj while we are doing our puja or bhakti. Jay swaminarayan

We can focus on puja by focusing on maharaj. This can be done by being like bapa. You can also get better at this with practice. You can focus on other types of bhakti by focusing on them and not going to do other things.

Jai Swaminarayan, I would rather keep my eye contact on Murtis while doing Puja and also I would keep chanting Swaminarayan Mantra during my entire Puja as well.

Jay Swaminarayan! One way that we can strengthen out focus on our puja is by remembering how focused our gurus are. They pour their heart and soul into their puja and we should strive to be like them. Thinking that thought can give you the mindset you need to stay focused on Maharaj and Swami

You can focus more on your puja by trying to think that your life's goal is gain MOKSH. So think that by doing puja, you get to FaceTime Mahant Swami and all the other gurus with Maharaj!!! Now the one thing you want to do is gain moksha and how do you do that? You have to make Maharaj and Swami Raji! You have to gain Rajipo because that is one of the steps to gaining MOKSH. Isn't that amazing so from now on do one more mala for the COVID-19 pandemic and that is one way you can make them happy!

Jai Swaminarayan. To Strengthen out focus while doing puja or bhakti we can close our eyes and think of our favourite Murti and Mahant Swami Maharaj. Try not to get distracted with the activates going around us. Believe that Maharaj and Swami is actually in front of you. We have to keep trying to focus more and more in the Puja. Pray Maharaj and Swami to help us in developing our focus.

JAY SWAMINARAYAN, WE CAN STRENGTHEN OUR FOCUS ON PUJA BY NOT LOOKING AROUND YOUR SURROUNDINGS, JUST LOOKING AT THE DIVINE MURTIS OF OUR GURU PARAMPARA. SECONDLY,WE SHOULD NOT THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO NEXT. LASTLY YOU AVOID THE DEVICES THAT YOU USE IN YOUR DAY TO DAY LIFE.

Focusing during puja or any other niyam can be hard. Everyday while doing puja, we tend to think of what we're gonna have for breakfast, in other words, we always lose our focus on Maharaj. A solution can be by putting on a guruhari darshan of your choice. By this, you can listen to the kirtan and focus on the murti of Bhagwan and this would help us stay in control of our mind. Jai Swaminarayan
Tithi Patel (13)

Puja is our time to connect with Swamishri, it's our time to talk and thank our true best friend who has given us everything. Sometimes, it can be hard to focus with a lot of distractions around, but after you have said the welcome shloka, Swami is actually present in front of you! Think that Swami wouldn't be raaji if we think of our worldly desires and pleasures instead of connecting with Him. Swamibapa loves us the way we are, and even though we may get distracted, he will still love us and will give us strength to stay concentrated. A good way to stay focused is by thinking, that if we were talking to our best friend and they weren't paying attention, we wouldn't like it and feel sad maybe. Similarly, Swamibapa won't like it if we don't listen to him and increase our jodaan with him. We are here because of Him, so we should live for Him.

Jai Swaminarayan, I find that by blocking out everything that is going on around me and by focusing my mind 100% on the beautiful divine murti of Maharaj and Swami this helps me strengthen my focus without any distraction getting in between us.

Jai Swaminarayan! These are a few ways to concentrate on maharaj's murti while doing puja: 1)Find a quiet spot maybe near your ghar mandir... 2)Play a kirtan wich describes Maharaj's murti... 3)Close your eyes while doing mala ... Another way to strengthen our focus on maharaj's murti is that we could watch more guruhari darshan and remember everything Mahant Swami does in the video. Jai Swaminarayan!!

Jai Swaminarayan. It is often hard to concentrate during puja and other seva. To stay focused during our puja, many people put on kirtans and bhajans. Many also try to think that it is for your guru and his rajipo so we should be putting our 100% into our puja. During other types of bhakti, if we think that our guru Mahant Swami's happiness lies in the seva, then we should be able to focus and put full concentration into it. Jai Swaminarayan

First, we should take away distractions from sight and play some bhajans if possible. Second, we can try not to talk to one another and constantly remember the murti of Bhagwan Swaminarayan and Mahant Swami Maharaj. We should also take deep breathes while focusing on Maharaj. And lastly, you can think of prasangs about Maharaj and Mahant Swami.

Jay swaminarayan, Friends, when we do puja we must focus in order to remember God and feel his darshan. We have seen mahant swami is focused when doing puja by that focus he can remember and also see bhagwan in himself. And I have some ways you can focus So let's begin:- 1. Put all electronic devices away from you so that you can't get distracted while doing puja. 2. When you are doing puja make sure where you are sitting is clean so bhagwan can come in your puja 3. Make sure there is no one making noise when you do puja if they are making noise (e.g sister or siblings or even neighbour's) you can tell them kindly to stop shouting before you sit for your puja. Those are some of the ways to improve focus on puja or any other types of bhakti. In addition to this whatever bhakti you do or sing any kirtan don't forget to remember god, if u don't remember god there is no value of it. Jay swaminarayan

Jai Swaminarayan! We can strengthen our Bhakti towards Bhagwan by having intense love for Maharaj and Swami. This is the only way we can have atma darshan and see that Maharaj always resides in our soul. We can engage in many different types of seva at home such as helping out with chores. We can also spend a little longer in our mansi puja trying to imagine all the small details in Maharaj's morning routine( read Vachanamrut Gadhada ||| 23). Along with this we can always do some extra Satsang reading - especially during lockdown. Remember whilst performing Bhakti always think about Maharaj and Swami!
