In this way, the daily pūjā was a deep reciprocation of love between him, the devotees, and Girirāja Govinda. Kadamba Kānana Swami appreciated that it was a team effort. In one lecture (on 24 December 2022), he said:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“We do an elaborate pūjā and I’m sending pictures around, and it’s very much ‘we.’ It’s not me that’s doing this pūjā.

There’s an army of men here early in the morning doing a huge cut-up, and there’s an army of ladies dropping things off early in the morning. Throughout the day, different things are delivered, and then in the morning it all comes together. I just place it on the altar, and everyone goes, “Wow! You’re such a good pūjārī! Amazing!” I have not much to do with it actually. I’m just the guy who puts it on the table.

Throughout the day, different things are delivered, and then in the morning it all comes together. I just place it on the altar, and everyone goes, “Wow! You’re such a good pūjārī! Amazing!” I have not much to do with it actually. I’m just the guy who puts it on the table.
