Hindus prayers
(how do hindu pray - hindu gods)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Hinduism is a very open religion. It is not bound by the dogmas as exists in Christianity and also Islamic Dharma. Whenever a human being... a true Hindu is free to worship God... one says his prayers. Even while eating one can say his prayers! While on work or even partially in sleep (subconscious state)... Hindus often say their prayers.

Neti (not this, not this)... as preached and advocated by Maharishi Ramana is best practiced while in subconscious state. Neti is a sure shot method of reaching God at the earliest. Why do we need to go to the temple, God Almighty is everywhere! Practically God Almighty exists in every living being in minuscule form as our soul atman within.

Religious leaders often offer prayers in the morning and the evening. The masses are absolutely free to offer their prayers at their convenience. However... the temples are not open all the time. If one wishes to go to the temple and offer his prayers... one needs to abide by the timings of the temple which normally open in the morning and the evenings.

Using incense, lighting a scented stick is only to purify the atmosphere where the prayers are being offered. It has no direct relationship with prayers whatsoever. More than the atmosphere... we need to purify our thoughts... invoke positive thoughts before entering the precincts of the temple. It is absolutely vital to worship God in absolutely pure state of mind.
