Pushpa Aradhana — Digital Flower Offering
Pushpa (flowers) are part of shodashopachara puja. Japam’s Pushpa Aradhana lets you offer digital flowers when visiting the deity screen.
Educational complement to home puja — not a temple replacement.
What is pushpa archana?
Offering flowers symbolises surrender of virtues and beauty to the deity. Digital offering expresses the same intent when fresh flowers are unavailable.
Benefits of japa (traditional view)
- Practice archana symbolism daily
- Pairs with mantra japa in app
- Useful when travelling
- Learn pada names of offerings
How to chant 108 times
- Sign in to Japam
- Open Pushpa Aradhana from menu (requires auth)
- Select deity and offering
- Complete with mindful prayer
When to chant
After japa or during daily darshan routine in app.
Why 108 repetitions matter
The number 108 is one full round on a japa mala. Steady repetition calms the mind and deepens attention on the mantra’s meaning.
Some traditions prescribe 11 or 21 malas — ask your guru or priest for counts suited to your vow.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Chanting too fast and losing focus on the sound
- Mixing multiple deity vows without guidance
- Expecting only material results instead of bhakti and ethical living
Temple and home practice together
Home japa supports temple worship; it does not replace darshan. Visiting the temple on festival days or Saturdays strengthens family tradition.
