WHAT IS POOJA

Puja means worship,devotion and reverence. Puja is believed to be derived from the word 'pu-chey',or worship. The term puja is now used to include all forms of worship, ranging from the simple daily offerings of flowers, fruit, leaves, rice, sweetmeats and water to the deities in homes or temples, to the sacrifices in temples dedicated to Kali, Durga and other female deities.
There are three kinds of pujas: "Dhirdha", "Madhya" & "Laghu". Puja ritual of idols of God has become in recent times a great of faith and belief in Hindu Religion. Puja is not only performed in temples but also in most of our homes. we worship God in our meetings before we start our days' programme of Jagran/Bhajan/Kirtans/ Ramayana and /or study of scriptures. The object of the puja ritual is to create and setup thoughts of spiritual forces in and around us. This is best achieved by chanting of some Mantra ,Bhajan or Chalisas, The benefit of puja is to remove obstacles. The pujas are performed on behalf of those who request them by us. Some of the benefits for doing specific pujas include: Obtaining happiness and peace by getting rid of malefic forces. Removing troubles that prevent us from starting on a spiritual path or business Gaining material spiritual, prosperity and abundance. Creating positive vibrations in the house, when starting new ventures such as a new job,business. Removing obstacles if suffering from losses, when starting a new business or investments. Improving the general health of body and mind, for a speedy recovery from illness. Increasing leadership skills. We can enhance the benefit of the Puja by doing spiritual practices. Some of the commonly observed practices include Meditation, Mantra Japa , Silence, Prayer, Fasting or Repeating God's name, charity. These vows can be done for one day or as long as you wish. The result of these actions is to enable us to imbibe more deeply the spiritual energy invoked by the Puja and to help purify us.
To attain the blessing of god as per our Hindu philosophy is Bhakti or Puja of Deities. Puja in other words means prayer or worship. In other words a specific form of worship or Puja involves in offering of a material object, or the mind, or the body, or the soul to the god. Puja when done properly guides oneself toward god, and brings the worshipper and the worshiped closer. Before starting any puja first and foremost Shri Ganpati or Ganesh Ji's puja is performed as per Hindu mythology. Pujas of other gods/goddess are done by fulfillment of two purposes.
Because of love and affection and not for any material gains
The other form of Puja is done to attain something or to remove obstacles and a Sankalp is taken by the worshiper himself or on behalf by others to perform the puja.
In our services pujas is performed by request by the person on whom behalf the Puja is to be performed, this may be by the direct request of the person to perform the specific Puja/Pujas or on advise by Panditji/Us for remedial Puja to avoid misfortune or attainment of wishes after problem reading by Pandit ji.
