Questions on puja

[ShriBala]

Namaste again,

Is it ok to do Puja in English?

Shayna

Namaskar. Yes, of course. Pick, any language you are familiar with.

Okay by whose standard? Hinduism works by sheer common sense. The presence of it, i mean. None, can give or take permissions for you to connect with god. No intermediary

The deal is between you and God only. Noone else plays a role.

Maybe, someone here will help you with a formal prayer in english. Though, IMO, you're already doing one when you take care of your kids, family etc.

Namaste,
Thank you...I don't know why I thought this other than when I read how to do the Ganesha Puja in "Loving Ganesha" it simply says chant this (sanskrit) and it means this. I just take thing a bit too literally I guess!
Many Thanks
