निर्गुणम्
Nirguna
Formless worship and universal prayer
Nirguna Manasa Puja offers worship to the formless Absolute through the inner altar of consciousness. It is a fitting complement to the deity-specific hymns in this collection because it gathers every ritual element - seat, lamp, offering, and arati - into mental worship directed to Brahman without attributes.
The hymn suits readers who love Advaita inquiry and wish to end a reading session by returning praise to the Self that is not limited by name and form. It does not replace temple worship or guru instruction; it articulates how the contemplative devotee may internalize puja when the mind is steady.
Pair this work with Nirvana Shatakam and the nirguna-oriented study notes elsewhere in the library for a formless counterbalance to richly visual Devi and Vishnu hymns.
