Vishnu & Vaishnava — Vedic Puja Vidhi
Krishna Puja
Krishna Puja is the devotional worship of Lord Krishna — the eighth avatar of Vishnu, divine teacher of the Bhagavad Gita, and embodiment of love, joy, and cosmic wisdom. The puja involves offering butter, milk sweets (makhan-mishri), tulsi, and yellow flowers to Krishna's idol while chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra or Ashtakshara mantra. It is most auspiciously performed on Janmashtami, Ekadashi, and every Monday or Wednesday.
