Once Śrī Krishna Avadhanulu (renowned scholar, devotee, and teacher of Śrī Chaganti) attended Satyanarayana Pooja (pūjā) performed by a brahmin in a small village. The host was in and out of his cell phone conversations during thepūjā. On this, Śrī Krishna Avadhanulu said in private that this pūjā is for people with faith and shraddha, even if it is done by a woodcutter with limited samagri (items used during pūjā) but with shraddha, rather than by a brahmin who talks on cell phones during the ceremony and then expects anugraham (grace).

Guna: meaning default human nature and habits (vasana) based on the level of conscience. In the process of evolving in conscience a person strives to shed its inherent vasana. Each person is different and has a different interpretation and approach towards things, like a choice or perspective and more, but how can one define the reason why people are born with such interpretation. Circumstance does play a role by providing experience, however, the choice made by an individual when presented with options is defined by nature or guna. Guna can be classified into three evolving states, they are satva guna, rajas or rajo guna and thamas or thamo guna. The final evolved state is the Shudha Stava guna.
