Everything within us, including our willingness, happiness, and sadness, is under our control. We always have the freedom to fight against negativity. When we pray to God and visit temples or other holy places, these practices offer us guidance on how to live our lives.

1. Darshan Time: Managing time efficiently can enhance the darshan experience.
2. Discipline: Avoid pushing others, maintain calmness, and show respect while praying.
3. Chanting Mantra: Speak clearly and practice chanting to avoid mistakes and remember the mantras better.
4. Donate Something: Share what you have, whether it’s money, love, support, or time as a volunteer. It’s about giving, not just monetary contributions.
5. Remove Shoes: Keep your surroundings clean for a peaceful environment.
6. Arti Darshan: Keep the light within you alive to help fight negativity.
7. Pataka (Flag): Like a flag flowing with the wind, stay updated with the new era and adapt to changes.
8. Ghant (Bells): Listen to the purity of music and words, and spread pure thoughts.
9. Doors: Large doors symbolize keeping an open heart, learning new things, and continually updating yourself.
10. Prasad (Bhog): After darshan, serving Prasad represents our dedication to God.

Enjoy the joy and fulfillment that comes from your efforts and work.

These lessons from our spiritual practices remind us that we are human, and the joy we experience is like Prasad from God, a reward for our efforts and dedication. –
