We do pujas in a meticulous manner, with flowers, dhoop sticks, karpoors, and diyas. We blame God if our prayers are not fulfilled sometimes.

Little do we know that our pujas sometimes lose their effect if the puja is done on the bare floor and not on aasan. We should be mindful of the puja aasans that we take during the puija.

The seat we sit on should be made of cotton, silk, wool or tush. Among them, it is considered better to sit on a Kusha asana and worship the deity and chant mantras. Use a red, white, yellow or orange coloured puja aasana.

You can also sit on a wooden chowki but that chowki should not be taller than the chowki of God. Mat of Grass is also preferable. Deer or Krishajina or tiger skin can also be used.

Using aasan made of wood, leaves or bamboo can result in diseases, financial problems and depression and hence it must be avoided. Sitting on a stone slab nullifies the effect of the puja and remember, the aasana should not be too high or too low.

Builds Focus On Worship: The main aasan in yoga is padmasana which is a yogic asana that is known to improve your mental health, fights sleeplessness, improves digestion, keeps your joints strong.

It even makes the the process of child birth easy, checks anxiety and menstrual problems, and improves your respiration.

This was the reason why our ancient seers discovered this asana. You feel comfortable sitting in padmasana for hours together. Sitting on aasana helps us to do puja and focus on it better.

Respect: We have a mores and methods when it comes to even pujas and rituals. Having a clear-cut method in doing something shows how much of seriousness you have for the task on hand. This shows how much you respect that task.

Similarly following a particular method to do the puja reveals the kind of respect that we have towards God. This is how we must approach Godly divine rituals. Worship is complete only if this is fulfilled.

Attracts Positive Energy: When a person chants some mantra or stotra, positive energy is liberated. If there is no aasan , this energy gets absorbed into earth and benefit of puja is lost.

Sanctity: Aasanas augment the sanctity in the process of worship. Aasanas are sacred accessories that bring bring luck, wealth and knowledge.

This process enhances our seriousness and devotion to wards the God or Goddess. Wool and silk are the best aasanas that add sanctity to your worship. The best aasana should be made of Kusha grass as per scriptures as they yield maximum results.

Cleanliness; You should sit on a clean place like a puja aasan. The ingredients should be clean including the puja mandir. God likes cleanliness, both external as well as internal.

If the worshipper is clean outside and inside, his mind gets engaged better at worship. The worshipper sitting on the seat maintains physical and spiritual cleanliness during the ritual and his mind is also engaged in worship. The asana used in puja is a symbol of purity.

Cultural awareness: Sitting on an aasan and worshipping God creates a holy ambience around and cleanses your soul, heart and mind from within. That will also raise your cultural awareness and a soul connection with the deity will be established.

Preserves The Vibrations:The aasana is our connection between the power of the earth and the sky. And it helps us focus only on the worship and this is helps to meditate better.
