SatyanarayanaPuja

Satyanarayana Puja

The Satyanarayana Puja is performed to Lord Satyanarayana who is Lord Vishnu the sustainer of the universe as per Vedic tradition. The puja is said to bestow tremendous prosperity on the person or family who performs the puja.

Satyanarayana Puja is usually done on special occasions as an offering of gratitude to the Lord. These occasions include marriage, graduation, and the purchase of a new home to name a few. The Satyanarayana Puja is also done on the Poornima day of every month (full moon day).

The puja starts witth a prayer to Lord Ganesha, the remover of all obstacles. Another part of the prayer involves prayers to the Navagraha’s, which are the 9 important celestial beings, in the universe. They consist of Surya (the Sun), Chandra (the moon), Angaaraka/Chevaai (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Guru aka Bruhaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Sani (Saturn), Rahu (the head of Demon snake), and Ketu (the tail of Demon snake).

The rest of the prayer is worship to Lord Satyanarayana, an extremely benevolent form of Lord Vishnu. Again, names of Lord Satyanarayana are chanted along with offering of a variety of prasads (food offerings) and flower petals.

Also in the puja the story of the origin of the puja is read to be heard among all those observing and partaking in the puja. The story also explains the benefits of performing the puja.

The prayer concludes with an Arati and gratitude meditation!

GanapathiPuja

Ganapathy Puja & Homa

Ganapathy is the supreme expression of super consciousness. He is the lord of beginnings. His very form itself is very powerful. If we understand his form, we will understand the truth presented in his form. His is the most worshipped form. Ganapathy is the only God who is worshipped by all 6 Vedic traditions. A much loved God, he is always remembered as simple, innocent and easily approachable. Of his four hands, he holds angusha (elephant prods typically used to direct or steer elephants) in one hand, pasa (noose) in the other, his own broken tusk in the third hand, and a sweet in the last.

If we understand the ayudhas (symbolic tools) he carries, we will understand the truth.

Lord Ganapathy is the Lord of beginning and he is said to represent the Jñana or wisdom, his consorts Siddhi is Kriya Sakthi or the actions/deeds and Bhuddhi is the Iccha Sakthi or knowledge.

Ganapathy Puja

Ganapathy Puja is performed to the idol of Ganapathy. Ganapathy Puja is done to remove obstacles and protect devotees from any hindrances in their ventures. Ganapathy Puja bestows success, good luck, and spontaneity to handle problems of life, abundance and bliss in life.

Ganapathy Puja can be performed in any of the following days:

• The Fourth day after New Moon every month [Sukla paksham] - Chathurthi is very important for Sri Ganapathy.
• The Fourth day after the Full moon day [Krishna paksham] is called Sankatahara Chathurthi day and is auspicious for special Puja for Sri Ganapathy.
• Sukla Chathurthi day of the month Bhadrapada [Aavani] is celebrated as Sri Ganapathy Chathurthi day, an annual festival of one to ten days, to mark the day of one of the manifestation of Sri Ganapathy.

Sri Ganapathy accepts prayers with offerings of all types of flowers, leaves, grass and all fruits and foods.

Ganapathy Homa

Homa is fire ritual and an intense spiritual practice which becomes powerful meditation technique when performed with devotion. We invoke the cosmic energy and visualize it in the fire. Offerings to the deity are offered through the fire.

With Ganapathy homa not only the individual but the space in which the ritual happens and the people who attend the ritual will all be benefited and blessed. Through this homa when done as a personal spiritual practice, the energy is brought from the nirvanic to the physical layer through all subtle layers and radiate. This homa ritual not only helps in spiritual growth but with the offerings it radiates and heals the space and the others who attend this fire ritual.

GuruPadukaPuja

Guru Paduka Puja

The presence of an Enlightened Master is pure Cosmic Energy. The Guru Paduka puja is an offering to the sandals of the Guru or Master - symbolically an offering to the feet of the Master.

The space inside our homes is filled with ether - a subtle energy, which has the property of getting contaminated by our negative thought patterns. When we air our repeated negative thought patterns like worries, fear etc. inside our homes, the ether energy gets contaminated and remains inside in this fashion. This is the reason why we feel heavy and frustrated the moment we enter our homes. This is what causes the familiar undesirable atmosphere which grips us the moment we enter our homes.

If the space inside our homes is a pond of water with collected dirt, the presence of the Guru Paduka is like the ocean flooding the pond and washing away the collected dirt. It is like the Cosmic Energy flooding the space, ether energy in our homes and cleansing it, thus creating positive energy vibrations in our homes.

The Guru Paduka puja is a rare opportunity for those who wish to have the direct Energy of an Enlightened Master in their homes. Many people have had spiritual experiences and have felt Swamiji's presence intensely during the puja.

If you wish to have the Guru Paduka Puja done on your behalf, either at our temple or in your home, please call us at: (740) 362-2046 and ask for our Pujacharya.

SriVidyaPuja

Sri Vidya Puja

Sri Vidya puja is not a ritual. It is a deeep meditation. Sri Vidya Puja is the easiest way to connect to the all pervading existential energy.

The Sri Vidya Puja is performed to completely cleanse the space of the house and to heal those present at the physical and mental planes.

The Sri Vidya Puja is performed with the Maha Meru which is a mystical construction representing the Cosmos. It has subtle energies polarized and embedded in it in the form of letters of the alphabet, each of which represents a chant, the attributed deity, the carriage or vehicle on which the deity sits, the herb or tree to which it belongs and the corresponding body part of the human beings which it controls. Therefore the Maha Meru represents the whole Universal Energy and the energy in every animate and inanimate object.

The Maha Meru in turn also represents the human body with 43 major energy centers. Only when all these 43 energies merge into one, a person becomes enlightened. The 43 subtle energy centers are presided by various forms of mother energy. Sri Vidya Puja is to invoke the presence of these 43 forms of mother energy thereby integrating the fragmented energies to achieve the ultimate eternal bliss. All problems in our life are a projection of blockage of one of the 43 energy centers.

It is capable of removing any cause of disharmony in any part of the human body, environment and family life, if its potency is properly utilized. The Maha Meru transmits the Divine Energy, wherever it is installed properly sanctified. Sanctifying it and deriving its benefit is the purpose of the Sri Vidya puja.

Sri Vidya encompasses comprehensive 9 transforming stages which are named as Avaranaas.The word “Aavarana” in Sanskrit means screen. By transcending the nice screens or the Avaranaas, one attains the immense benefits of the Puja.

• Trilokya Mohana Chakra – This Aavarana bestows tremendous fame, charisma with intelligence
• Sarvaashaa Paripooraka Chakra – This Aavarana fulfills all desires!
• Sarva Samkshobhana Chakra – This Aavarana dispels all fears!
• Sarva Soubhaagya Daayaka Chakra – This Aavarana bestows all wealth and prosperity
• Sarvaartha Saadhaka Chakra - This Aavarana helps you accomplish all your goals!
• Sarva Rakshaakara Chakra – This aavarana offers intelligence for ultimate protection
• Sarva Rogahara Chakra – This Aavarana heals everything in the space of the puja!
• SarvaSiddhipradaChakra- This Aavarana bestows tremendous creativity and leadership
• SarvaAnandamaya Chakra – This Chakra brings intense happiness, peace and prospertity!
