My mind doesn't stay focused during puja and meditation. What can I do?
Breath-hold practice to settle the mind
When you sit for puja in the temple, breathe in, hold, and release slowly, five times. On the fifth round, hold the breath longer and silently call for bhakti (devotion) before releasing.
When you hold the breath, then silently within the mind, with eyes closed, cry out: give us bhakti, give us bhakti, give us bhakti.
