Upachaaras Five Ten Sixty Four Offering To God
But the import of the word is ‘welcoming, making one comfortable, saying things that ere agreeable, offering that are close to one’s heart’
In Hindu tradition God is offered all these as we would one who visits our home.
There are strict rules for this.
There are different Upacharas.
Five-Panchopachara,
Six-Shadopachaara,
Shodosupachaara-Sixty four.
Some opt for the Ten Upachaaaras.
Of these the sixty-four are practiced in temples, while Five or six are at Homes.
In some texts, Snana or Bathing is taken as a Upachaara, while in some the other Upachaaras are done after the Bath(Snana)
It may be noted that these procedures are not prescribed by the Vedas.
These are later developments set by Smritis and for Temples in the Agama Shastra.
A. Pancha Upachaara.

Pope Benedict XVI Resigns Papacy, Converts To Islam
HOLY SEE – In a shocking press conference Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI revealed to the world that he will be stepping down from the Catholic Church’s highest office. “Through prayer and reflection over the past years,” the world’s holiest man began, “I’ve realized that Allah is the one true God.”
Amid clattering camera shutters and roaring reporters, Pope Benedict patiently answered questions, citing traditional Muslim folklore as well as passages from the Qur’an to explain his decision. His session was interrupted only once, when he swiveled South-East to face Mecca, stooped to the ground, and recited the Asr, one of the five daily prayers central to Muslim belief.
According to a message that has been circulating for several months, previous Pontiff, Pope Benedict XVI actually resigned his post in February 2013 because he converted to Islam and could therefore no longer play his role as head of the Catholic Church. The message claims that Pope Benedict made the decision after years of prayer and reflection and because he came to realize that “Allah is the one true God”.
