There is another kind of bhakti, known as vaidhi-bhakti, according to which one must repeat the name of God a fixed number of times, fast, make pilgrimages, worship God with prescribed offerings, make so many sacrifices, and so forth and so on. By continuing such practices a long time one gradually acquires raga-bhakti. God cannot be realized until one has raga-bhakti. One must love God. In order to realize God one must be completely free from worldliness and direct all of one's mind to Him.
Daily puja is performed in the temple from 8.00 to 11.00 am. This worship of Sri Ramakrishna has been arranged in the order it is by Swami Ramakrishnananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna Himself. While offering this worship, one purifies oneself, physically, mentally and intellectually and tries to go beyond the limitations of this world. The worshipper then identifies himself as Spirit and worships God. The Mantras and the ritualistic postures etc help the transformation. The whole worship is a sight to see and experience. The worshipper here offers the puja on behalf of all the beings in the world.
