How do you worship God?

Do you go to the temple everyday or just do the pooja at home?

I am a Catholic married to a Hindu. I go to the Church every Sunday. Go to the temple sometimes too. But pray to God everyday....several times a day...

no I go to temple everyday....beside workshiping GOD as home ...I think temple is another home where GOD decides to stay....if u r not going try to go to temple everyday..... Thanks Ganesh

Well still its 5 times a day, but Night prayers ISHA is not lengthy , but its not compulsory, again its on individual In Ramazan, everything remain same, just "fasting" is added, and its recommended to do more Relegious activities, more charity, more humble and avoid sinsm, telling lie and other activities Take care

What kind of prayers to you have? Just reading from the Quran or some other kind of prayers?

Now in the month of Ramzan is it any different? Do you have to go to the mosque more often or is it the same?

thts good, i feel ultimately its the god thts it this customs n religions are juz a way to perform things..

Religion is different routes to one distination.

I am married to a Hindu. So I do follow some hindu customs too. My daughter does the puja at home everyday. My kids and me go regularly to church and to the temple.

I too am a Christian but was married to a Hindu. I pray every morning and night but not a book prayer. For me prayer is a conversation with God and I talk to him about all my joys and sorrows every day. And I go to Church every Sunday and on weekdays if possible.

I am a Christian Too. Please take knowledge about one thing, CHRISTIANITY is NOT A RELIGION. God didn't come to earth to create a Religion called Christian. Christianity means You belong to CHRIST. You have found the true Saviour. Also being a Christian is to Obey Everything that THE BIBLE teaches us to. the Bible says, those who worship God must worship him in spirit and in truth. Our prayers to God must be passionate and must comes from the heart. He hears your voice and he'll wipe away your tears if you truly pray and worship him with all your heart. Worship in Spirit or From the Heart means must be Sincere. Worship in Truth that is according to the Word of God, which is the TRUTH. If we do this prayer, surely surely he will hear us and MAY GOD BLESS YOU and GIVE YOU AN EXPECTED BLESSING.

This form of worship is followed by my inlaws and my son too! I visit the temple and the church regularly. In fact I have liked visiting temples since childhood. And now being married into a hindu family I do not feel uncomfortable at all.

I am a Catholic married to a Hindu. I have been visiting temples from the time I was a kid. In fact my whole family would actively take part in the Ganesh Chaturthi and Durga Pooja celebrations in the colony. So religion has never been an issue with me at all. Give me any quite place and I can sit and pray there. Yes as you say Meditation is the best way to reach God.

There are many famous and great ancient temples here in Chennai.I have up loaded the Kapaleeshwarar temple the Siva temple I frequent,Parthasarathy temple with the main deity Vishnu with mustache,the Ashtalaksmi temple with the eight laksmis on the sea side and my favorite Anjaneyar.

Which is the most famous or most frequented temple in your city?

Thanks a lot for the info. Just collecting data for my next holiday. Dont know when that would be but am trying to get as much information as possible.

You can stand or sit anywhere....just close your eyes and talk to God....nobody can restrict that.....finally prayer is just our conversation with God that can be had anywhere....anytime....anyplace....

I do not know much about your way of worshipping God.

Thanks a lot for your response. Spreading goodness and doing good to others is one of the best forms of worship.

I am a Roman Catholic and go to the church every sunday. Everyday I spend some time morning and evening in the privacy of my bedroom just talking to God. I just close my eyes and talk to him. It gives me a lot of peace.

If I have to believe everything that the media potrays I think I will end up hating all religions. I think it is people who are good or bad and not the religion. This image is just created by the media. Will surely look at the sites you have mentioned. Thanks a lot.

I did not know much about your form of worship till now because I think nobody has been able to explain it more beautifully to me than the way you have done now. Thanks a lot. Is there any online site where I could get to know more about this?

Thank you for showing an interest in this religion. It is good to see that you do not follow what is portrayed in the media about this peacefully religion. The actual meaning of Islam is peace!!. There are many sites you could go to on the internet but here are a few that i think you and other readers who do not know that much about the religion of Islam might like to read. www.introductiontoislam.org. This is a website that shows the fundamentals of our religion and could answer any questions that non-muslims have. www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_index.html This is a website that shows the miracles mentioned in the quran over 1400 years ago which scientists across the globe have only recently found out about! A real eye opener to those that do not know about Islam! I hope you get the time to visit these websites and hopefully it will increase the understanding of Islam for anyone who goes on them.

Thanks a lot for the information and for joining this discussion.

So how has this Ganpati festival been for you? Do you have the Ganpati in your house or your neighbourhood?

thanks COLLHIM. I agree 100% there is only single God but human can "divide" or whatever depended to their perception.

I am very much in India like you. I am a Catholic married to a Hindu. So we have the incense sticks and diya and the candles in our house. I visit the temples too sometimes and go to church every sunday. For me just a few moments in silence in the temple or church is enough to communicate with God.

I too am a roman catholic. I pray the rosary once a week. And ofcourse go to church every sunday. Otherwise daily prayer is just a communication with God for me where I talk to him whenever i get a few minutes of free time at home and at work.

I chat with God very often during the day. In fact in between in Office too sometimes I just make time for a small chat with him. It feels good.
