Then, to fulfil one’s noble wishes, one should pray with divyabhāv and devotion while chanting the Swaminarayan mantra (dhun). (71)

After devoutly performing puja in this way, one should re-install Akshar-Purushottam Maharaj within one’s ātmā by reciting the Punaragaman Mantra.¹² (72)

12. ‘Punaragaman Mantra’ refers to the verse recited to conclude one’s puja.

The Punaragaman Mantra is as follows:

Bhaktyaiva divya-bhāvena pujā te sam-anushthitā,

Gachchhā’tha tvam mad-ātmānam Akshara-Purushottama.¹³ (73)

13. This mantra should be recited as written. The meaning of this mantra is as follows: “O Purushottam Narayan together with Aksharbrahman! I have performed your puja with devotion and divyabhāv. Now, please reside within my ātmā.”

To strengthen one’s satsang, one should then daily read shastras that encompass the teachings and instructions of Shri Hari and the gurus. (74)

Thereafter, one should bow to devotees with reverence and humility. Only after performing puja in this way should one engage in one’s daily activities. (75)
