Śraddhā over perfection
In the Bhagavad Gītā (9.26), Kṛṣṇa says that whoever offers him a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water with devotion, he accepts it. This verse is the heart of home worship.
Mispronounced words, a missed step or a simple plate do not spoil a rite done with love. Be wary of anyone who uses fear of mistakes to pressure you. Learn gradually, ask questions, and let the practice grow with your family.
