American Pooja

Have you ever thought what would happen if temples were Americanized?

Two types of prasad will be available - Normal Prasad & Diet Prasad.

Panchamrut will be of 4 types: Normal milk, 2% milk, Skimmed milk and
fat-free milk. Same for yogurt.

You no more go around the temple from left to right.
This is America and everything here is from right to left.

The pandit will not ask for your name before Pooja anymore. Your social
security number will do.

Laptops will be used to read mantras instead of books.

No more Aaratis due to fire hazard. Only flashlights will be used. During
flashlight-tee (aar-tee), soft copies of lord are on sale for $1 per image.

You won't leave money in the thali anymore! When you get the flashlightee, you should swipe your visa card on the scanner.

All bhaktas will have to use head phones to hear GONG of the bell to prevent noise pollution.

The temple would re-cycle the flowers used everyday to protect the
environment.

Sponsors of poojas will be allowed to display a 1.5"x 5" banner on the temple
website.
