About the Sravana puja
In the Sravana puja you express your openness to the cosmic light and the inner light, which are one and the same. You show your willingness to be nourished by it, to enter into a different vibration, and to be connected to your essential self. By listening (sravanam) to yourself as well as to others and to the great unknown (akasha) - the invisible, the inaudible and the indefinable - by being open and listening, by allowing, accepting and being receptively open, you will detach from your ego-centeredness and awaken to the bliss of your heart (anandaveda). As you open yourself to the invisible light that illuminates you, the inaudible sound behind all sounds, the indefinable that is your origin and deepest nature, it gives you the space to be enriched by the unknown and to develop in new ways.

About the Pranidhana puja
In the Pranidhana puja you open yourself to the cosmic, inspiring energy (Brahman), you allow yourself to be cleansed by its purity (shaucam) and you experience the beauty of surrender (pranidhanam). The puja opens you to your longing to experience what you essentially are and what life is all about. You learn that you should not so much learn to manage life, but that you should learn to let life flow through you and let it do something with you, so that you can feel what remains within you as a loving essence. It allows you to feel that you are loved through the experience of surrender, and that allows your affection for all living beings to grow. The first part of this mantra is the Sanskrit concept of Brahman, which literally means “constant expansion or healing.” Brahman represents everything from the experiential to the unexperiential, the Absolute, the living whole. The second part of this mantra is the Sanskrit concept of shaucam, which means purity, indicating that the energy of Brahman cleanses and purifies everything in you, from the body to the soul, in the most purifying way. The third part of this mantra is the Sanskrit concept of pranidhanam, which means surrender. Surrender is about giving what is left when you feel your essence. Purification can only happen in openness, and letting go of what you don't really need can only happen in that state of surrender.
