Brahmachari Shankara Performs Saiva Atmartha Puja

One of the requirements for our monastic aspirants is to learn the Saiva Atmartha Puja and then, soon before taking his first monastic vows, perform it in front of all the monks. This puja is learned by all of our Saiva Siddhanta Church formal sishyas.

After taking monastic vows, Brahmachari Shankara will learn the parartha puja, "worship for the benefit of others", that is performed in temples.
