O Mouse, you can worship God and the Gods anywhere. But the temple is the best place, because it is built as a special, sacred space for the three worlds to meet as one.

Staying close to God is one of the important goals on the Great Path. at way, God can know about or life and karmas, guide us, protect us and bless us in a thousand ways. e Hindu form of worship, called puja, was designed by gurus long ago to bring us close to God and the great beings of our faith.
