One. yajna
This is done by lighting fire at specific places and reciting special mantras from the Vedas and Upanishads to gain the love of God and to get rid of sins. Yagnas are organized on different occasions and methods. For example: sustaining the empire and expressing gratitude and obedience to God. Various changes and refinements are often made in the method of yajna; And yajna has to be done through Brahmins. Because, he is the carrier between the creator and creation. worship in hinduism
Thus Yajna occupied a very important place for archaeologists and emperors. Brahmins have been practicing Yajna-hypnosis for ages and have written many books on its methods.
Two. the worship ( worship in hinduism )
It is the name of making offerings to God through drinking water mixed with flowers, fruits and saffron after chanting and praising him.

Each deity has a different ritual of making offerings of flowers, fruits and water. One has to pour water from the palm of the hand in front of someone; Again one has to pour water from a large conch in front of him and offer it.
For fear of increasing the size of the book, these details have been avoided.
Three. fasting
Fasting is a good way to tame the human spirit, suppress the animal instincts and increase physical strength, as Hindu religious scholars well understood. So they made fasting obligatory for religious persons, sadhus and tapasyas. There are several methods of fasting. For example: abstaining from food and drink for an indefinite number of days and nights. Abstain from food and rely on adequate amounts of water and milk. Taking food only at noon and drinking after sunset for several consecutive days.
On the other hand, in some forests and Himalayan mountains, some saints and monks are found, who fast continuously. They never eat or drink. The juice of a type of herb is squeezed into their throats. They just wet their throats and lie like dead like this forever. worship in hinduism
This is yoga or yoga according to Hindu philosophy. A yogi rises above the use of external materials through mental and spiritual pursuits. It can live on ice-cold reservoirs in a state of isolation, shocking the eyewitnesses. Can lie naturally on crushed glass. I want everyone to have a clear understanding about this – Yoga is a part of Hindu religion. According to Hinduism, they are a means of spiritual advancement. Its forms are taken from the Vedic texts, although the term is not directly mentioned in the Vedic texts. It has been greatly improved by combining the experience of saints and monks, which has been able to bring amazing results.
In the Vedic age the concept of yoga was clear to all. Religious people practiced yoga to understand the mysteries of religion and the meaning of the Vedas. Yogadarshan is a pure Brahmanical Hindu philosophy, through which mastery over humanity can be achieved.
In an international newspaper, I saw a statement by Hindu Dharmabetta Chandra Swamy, in which he said, ‘Big leaders and government officials of various states are his disciples. They are slaves to him. He exerts influence over them as He wills; And that is possible through yoga.’
Currently two persons have completed yoga training: Acharya Rajnesh; Another is Mahesh Yogi.
Acharya Rajnesh was born in 1931 and died a few years ago. He didn’t believe in God, didn’t believe in any heavenly books. He didn’t even believe in any matter of the unseen, including heaven and hell. He believed that human beings have extraordinary powers. When a man can fully master it, he will be able to display extraordinary powers. He only preached yoga and Sufi spiritual philosophy and was impressed by Baba Farid Ghaleshkar. In 1953 he claimed his achievement. That is, he then became aware of the relationship between the soul and the body. He can merge into the universe at will. In 674 AD, he established an ashram named ‘Rajnesh Ashram’ in Pune, India. And common Hindus fast on certain days. E.g.: One sets for himself certain days of the lunar month for fasting. One fixes the fast on the birthday of Krilp, Rama or Prahlad, or during lunar and solar eclipses. Others set aside days of their commemorative victories—such as Rama’s victory over Ravana—for fasting. But these fasts are not necessary for them; Rather, it depends on their wishes.
Four. Pilgrimage
A visit (ziarat) to an honored person or holy place is called ‘pilgrimage’. Yatra literally means crossing the river.
Visiting dignitaries means listening to their advice and approaching them; Pilgrimage to holy places means visiting these places and worshiping the idols installed there.
There are basically four such places: ( worship in hinduism )
1. Dwarka
2. Jagannathpuri
3. Badrikashrama
4. Rameshwar
Apart from this, Hindus also travel to the holy Ganges and Yamuna rivers in Benares and Allahabad. Their method of journey is:
1. The traveler will travel separately from his family. Do not contact them or think about them during the journey.
2. One kilometer away from one’s home one will take off the clothes worn and take a bath and wear a long kurta and lungi of ocher colour. Tie a special container of water to the head of a bamboo stick and keep it in your hand. Then he will go out chanting ‘Hare Krilp, Hare Ram’. But it is better to go out on foot.
Going on these journeys is mandatory for Brahmins and optional for others.
[He used to teach Yoga Shastra every day. Then in 1986, he went to the United States and established several yoga-sadhana centers there.
His daily lectures on various subjects have been published in over a hundred books in Hindi and English. Yoga and spiritual pursuits were among the important topics discussed. His followers did not believe this after his death. They think he has gone out of the public eye and joined the world. According to Vedanta where he will never perish. worship in hinduism ,
The second is Mahesh Yogi. He migrated to the United States in 1935. In front of people, he presented himself as a very worldly ascetic, but he was extremely greedy for money. He used to call people to yoga-sadhana and exhorted them to be virtuous. He claimed that God had sent him to save mankind from destruction. To give them the honor of eternal life, which shall never perish; May man be worthy of eternal peace and attain Nirvana. Thus influenced by his call, in less than 40 years many Americans gathered around him. But at the last moment his secret was revealed. It becomes clear to everyone that he is a big thief. As a result, he was forced to leave America. The US government confiscated his vast assets. Later he escaped to India. Since then he lives a secret life for fear of public shame. worship in hinduism
