A true devotee is one who worships his favourite gods or goddesses or even spiritual gurus as their saviour. Even spiritual gurus like Kanchi Mahaperiyava, Raghavendra and Sai Baba can be worshipped by us in the form of god, since they are the divine messengers sent by the god for the purpose of spreading the bhakti amongst the people.
True devotion must be of selfless in nature. While worshipping the god, we should not pray to the god only for our goodness, but we must have to pray to him for the wellness of the entire world. As per the sayings of Lord Krishna in his Bhagavat Gita, “if you show selfless bhakti and love on me, then I will be with you forever in your life”. Likewise we have to always keep the sweet memories of the god in our mind.
The great Bhakta Prahlada and Dhruva had showed their sincere bhakti on Lord Vishnu, and due to that, they have attained the highest position in the universe. Sage Narada and Veda Vyasa had incarnated in this earth, to spread the greatness of the Lord by the way of devotional writings and also by the way of conveying divine messages to various saints and sages.
Graha Pravesham is a type of Hindu ceremony which is performed when an individual or a family enters into a new home. During this ceremony, various pujas and homams would be done, in order to glorify the new home. Sometimes it would be performed even before the entire completion of the construction of the home. A learned Hindu priest or an astrologer would give a suitable date for performing the Graha Pravesh ceremony.
Among the various pujas, Vastu Puja would be done to Lord Vastu Bhagavan, in order to please him, and also to ward off the evil spirits from the new homes. Ganapathy homam, Dhanvantri Homam, Lakshmi Narasimha Homam also would be done to please the deities. Mostly Grah aPravesh would be done during January month (Thai month), and August month (Avani month). Graha Pravesh would not be done on Tuesdays and other inauspicious days.
Mostly it would be done during early morning, and before doing this ceremony, worship must be made to Lord Ganapathy and Lord Surya Bhagavan, in the form of Surya Namaskaram.
