Puja Niyam: If we believe in the scriptures of Sanatan Dharma, then taking a bath before worshiping God or entering the temple is considered an important process. But sometimes it also happens that even if you are unable to take a bath, you can still worship.
If a person is suffering a lot or there is some calamity due to which he is unable to take a bath, then according to the scriptures, he gets full permission to worship with purity of mind. In this situation, you can worship with mental purity.
Even if he is helpless, he should have true faith and feeling towards worship in his mind.
If you chant mantras while doing mental worship, then it is not at all necessary that you have taken a bath. Before touching the temple or God in the house, it should be necessary that your mind is completely clean.
This will be the importance of bathing for worship
According to the scriptures, bathing is considered a symbol of physical and mental purity. By taking a bath, a person completely purifies his body and mind. Even in the scriptures, taking a bath before performing Puja is considered very important, because it calms both the mind and soul of a person.
Know what are the circumstances in which a person should perform Puja
without taking a bath:
If for any reason a person has to perform Puja suddenly and there is no place to take a bath in the vehicle, then also he can perform Puja.
If you are performing Puja at dawn, when it is not possible to take a bath, then you can perform Puja without taking a bath. Just wash your hands, feet and face.
