During puja, trained priests wash and adorn the body of the Guru—in the form of a Murti (or representational image) of Adi Da Samraj, and also in the form of His empowered sacred sandals (or Padukas).

This gathering marked the re-initiation of the Guru Puja (now called the Ruchira Avatara Puja) as a daily practice for devotees in the Reality-Way of Adidam. Avatar Adi Da had suspended the practice of daily Guru Puja for several months in order to “consider” with devotees the purpose and right use of Guru Puja as a means to worship Him as their Divine Heart-Master. Avatar Adi Da then playfully encouraged a kind of guessing game in which devotees spoke of their own observations and understanding. Finally, Avatar Adi Da Samraj offered to discuss the secret of the ceremonial worship of Him in the form of the daily Guru Paduka Puja, describing it as the great means by which the Primal Space of Communion with Him is created each day. As the first sacred activity of a devotee’s day, the Guru Puja establishes the devotee in that Primal Space, as if always sitting in the Company of the Guru.

In continuity with the ancient forms of fire puja practiced in India, after the fire is sacramentally lit, specific elements (such as rice, sage, sandalwood oil, and more) are cast into the fire, representing the surrender of various aspects of conditional existence to the Divine.
