Then we go into the pujä room and make our own Chandan or sandalwood paste for Pujä. You can ask an adult to help you make Chandan. By applying sandalwood to Bhagawän we wish to make our heart peaceful.

We can also place beautiful flowers on Bhagawan while doing pujä to make our heart soft as a flower. We do not pluck flowers because that I will hurt the plant. We should use flowers that have fallen on the ground on their own, on a clean cloth.
We only do pujä on Bhagawan's nine Angas (parts of the body) in the order shown on the picture to the side. The nine Angs are; toes, knees, center of arms, shoulders, top of head, forehead, throat, center of chest, and navel
