POOJA OF VEHICLES: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKARWhen some of us buy vehicles; the first thing comes to their mind is that; it should prove ‘lucky’ to them. This is natural. They are scared of unknown factors responsible for mishaps. They are worried about the safety. They seek grace and protection of guru or God and hence perform a pooja of the newly purchased vehicles at holy places.
Considering the sincerity, devotion and innocence; in the act; one does not feel like raising philosophical or rational arguments; against the act.
Instead; it is preferred to suggest that the pooja of vehicle; should involve the following prayer.
“O Lord! Please grace this vehicle to provide us; such a service and environment; that we get focused on NAMASMARAN and get increasingly merged with NAMA. Since this is the same as self realization; it would be the true benevolence to us and all others. Thank you!”
