It is difficult to travel in a one track path when many people with many minds and with many thoughts interact.

I put the same question to my guruji.

Why can't the temple authorities collect the milk after the abhishekam
and distribute it to the poor children in the neighborhood?

He said that we have to offer food to five different categories of people.

This falls under bootha yagnam. It will feed many creatures which we are not able to see but nothing we use or throw out ever goes in waste.

I think we are slighlty deviating from the topic.Anyway's i have to appreaciate all the responses & posts so far made.May be we conclude prayers can be in any form that connects one with god.One may be satisfied by just doiing his everyday duties with sincerety & dedication.For others it may give a sense of completion with gifting 100 people with dhoti or doing a 1000 ltr Palabhishegam.The very nature varies but the feeling is a sense of inner consolance where we think we are connected to the lord.The rest is pshycology,spirituality....etc.,
