I was taught a puja to lord Krishna by a summer camp as a kid. It goes like this: Dhyaana Mantram (shaantaa kaaram bhujaga shayanam padma naabham suresham. Vishvaa dhaaram gagana sadrisham meghavarnam Shubhaangam. Lakshmi kaantam kamala nayanam yogi hrid dhyaana gamyam. Vande bhava bhaya haram sarva lokai kanaatham)
Followed by the usual upachaaras i.e Om sri gopala krishna aavaahanam samarpayaami, Om sri gopala krishna aasanam samarpayaami etc.
AM I ELIGIBLE TO PERFORM THIS PUJA? I HAVE NOT YET UNDERGONE INITIATION ALTHOUGH I FOLLOW THE REGULATIVE PRINCIPLES AND DO HARINAAMA AND OFFER MY FOOD TO THE LORD BEFORE EATING IT. THESE TYPE OF PUJAS ARE TAUGHT TO KIDS IN SMARTA HINDU TEMPLES AND CAMPS THRU OUT THE U.S. AND IS TAUGHT IN THE HOMES OF SMARTA BRAHMINS TO THEIR KIDS. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE RESPONSES
