Home Puja Mandir In US- Ikea Hack For DIY Home Temple Set up & Organization

[@piaakasyapa]

I too used dressing table as my pooja ghar in my quarters in 2000 era...you remind me that

[@vineethan2633]

Somali,excellent mandir organization.. Ur organization of things itself shows how sincere and humble person u are.

[@samanthasanders9919]

Such wonderful inspiration! Thank you! I have spent a lot of money on mandirs in the past only to have them be too small, arrive broken etc, and I cannot afford the really expensive ones so this is giving me some good ideas now how to proceed

[@jonbanks653]

Thank you so much for this. I embraced Sanata Dharma about 5 years ago. Since then I have gone from one or two small Murties to quite an accumulation. I am trying to figure how to make it more organized and better reflect the essence of what it means. I love your statement at 1:32 if it isn't expensive it is too small and if it fits your needs it isn't good quality. That is exactly what I have found. I was wondering if it would be ok to construct something using shelving such as you have done and when I came across this I was very happy. I looked at shrines in stores and on line but that is not something one can purchase (IMHO) without knowing what you will eventually accumulate. For example the first one I looked at would have suited me then but would be way too small now. At any rate your presentation is extremely helpful. Thanks again

[@dawsongodden4220]

I hope you are having a lovely ganesh chaturthi you have inspired me to set up my Puja mandir

[@bowerspace2670]

Hi Sonali. Extremely creative and innovative idea of using the Ikea Garden furniture for Pooja Mandir. Even I have the same battery operated lights but they run out very fast. So please recharged batteries ready always.

Very innovative idea. Thanks for sharing

[@bowerspace2670]

Thank you, Aparna ji! :)

[@RMalai]

great sister. I also could not find good mandir/altar for gods and to perform pooja. we would probably copy the same as you, if not completely, most of it. Thank you for the idea.

[@bowerspace2670]

I will be very happy if it works for you! 😊🙏

[@skanthavelu]

Beautiful hack for setting up a pooja mandir. In 1998, a year after I converted to Hinduism, I set up pictures of Lord Ganesha, Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati, Lord Kartik with Mother Valli and Mother Devyani all which I cut out from different books and magazines on a TV table and used that as a puja mandir. Then in 1999, someone gave me a small shoe rack with white laminate finishing which I used as an altar for 21 years until last year. Now, I have my puja mandir set up on a two tier bookshelf with white laminate finishing. But these are not well set up for keeping pooja items. I will try this idea you suggested as since long, I wanted something on which I can have my religious photos on top and have my pooja books, cassettes and CDs, bell and kartals in a cupboard on the bottom.

[@bowerspace2670]

So happy to hear about your Pooja set up!!! 🥰🙏

[@skanthavelu]

@@bowerspace2670 I am happy to have told you about my pooja mandir and how it evolved over the years!! 🙂🙂 Soon, I will get a spare shelf which I will add to my current pooja mandir. I will keep my main deities' photos on the upper levels, my bhajan and stotra CDs will go on the additional shelf once it is added and my bhajan books and chanting books along with my bell and kara taalam will be on the bottom.

[@sumayoganand3064]

Hi very nice viedo thank u so much. Happy ugadi in advance.

[@sboy2048]

first like and comment as usual u r always awesome in organisation

[@nanomeow]

[@sudharajkumar9621]

Very nice

[@prangyapatnaik1272]

Very good idea

[@iswaryanandini2171]

I need something like this but with storage so I can store pooja items at one place

[@payalc3026]

Hi.. Can i ask from where your ordered all the Idols pictures?

[@manjusha9630]

Hiii, your pooja mandir is so nice where did you get the hanging bells

[@manjusha9630]

And the small garlands for photos where you got those

[@spaceyourselfteluguchannel9655]

Hey where did u buy those bell hangings?

[@durgalakshmi3629]

Very well innovatively organized to suit needs 😊

[@bowerspace2670]

Thank you so much!

[@sindhusree3796]

Can I get the ikea link to purchase the item?

[@avantipandharpurkar9773]

lovely dear..i just love the way u have used this as pooja mandir...i never saw this in ikea..wil check fr it..thx dear... hey r u a devote of sai baba..i am since childhood. .. in USA there a lovely place where pooja n bhajan takes place. ..plz do visit

[@bowerspace2670]

Hi Avanti! What's that place and where?

[@avantipandharpurkar9773]

Bowerspace wil update abt the place to u very soon...

[@sheenapillai7687]

Hi there. Really liked your temple organization video. Just wanted to check where you purchased the little temple bells from? Thanks, Sheena

[@bowerspace2670]

Hi Sheena! I bought them back in Bangalore from the local brass wholesale market.

[@mayuramulay2424]

The links given to buy products are for Amazon India. Kindly provide links for Amazon US as well!!

[@shreejadeja3127]

Hello mam, loved your idea of mandir.... I wanted to know how do you maintain all those brass items shiny?? I do have lots of brass idols but very difficult to clean them as they have little grooves and all, kindly anwer..

[@bowerspace2670]

Hi! I use Pitambari. Otherwise soak brass items in Tamarind pulp for half an hour and rub it thoroughly. It will shine and won’t be sticky. Let me know how it works😊

[@sboy2048]

first like and comment as usual u r always awesome

[@bowerspace2670]

Thank you so much!!!

[@kslpavitra83]

Lovely sonali. Like i had commented in one of your previous videos, i got my new kitchen, study tables and wardrobes done inspired by yours :) i am very happy with the outcome. Tnx a ton for inspiring all of us. Loads of love and happy ugadi to you and your family. :)
