In order to understand puja, we have to go back to early stages of human civilization when humans use to live in jungles without shelter, this was that period of time when people use to believe in some unknown powers and thus the puja system started from here.
The puja system emerged to get protection of unknown powers from natural calamities, hazards and disasters in early period. In order to protect themselves from such events they started believing in natural powers.
In Hinduism, pujas are the common way of worshipping Gods. It is the most famous way of worship practiced in all Hindu houses till date. People do pujas on daily bases or in many occasions. Puja allow Hindus to revere god and goddesses. There are many god and goddesses who are worshiped in Hinduism. All gods have different powers and protect a human being at different times of life.
Many Hindu families for daily puja purposes keep some particular God statues in their home. For example, people in south India mostly keep the idol of Goddess Laxmi in their houses, as in Hinduism, Goddess Laxmi possess wealth and they believe that performing Laxmi puja results in flow of wealth to household and prosperity in any business venture.
In similar way people in Hinduism believe in wearing Rudraksha as they believe that wearing a Rudraksha keep them away of astrological problems. There are many types of Rudraksha starting from Ek mukhi rudraksha to 20 mukhi rudraksha.
Wearing spiritual items has been said to protect you from many evil spirits and unfortunate circumstances. Many religions believe that wearing spiritual items protect us from evil spirts and keep us far from any harm. Similarly, in Hinduism they believe in wearing many spiritual items like gem stones, sri yantra, crystal items e t c which when wear or used in homes can protect a person or family from evil spirits.
