Puja

Everyone has witnessed or participated with poojas throughout their life, but very few understand what they are dong or even why poojas are conducted in the first place. Poojas are more than just symbolistic rituals; they invite Peace, Prosperity and Laxshmi in our houses and hearts. By invoking the Gods and asking them to reside with us for the duration of the Pooja, we gain their blessing for our families and our future endeavours. The positive energy felt within a household after a Pooja is conducted truly connects us to (a higher power?)

I make sure to explain each process during the Pooja – in English, Hindi, and any preferred language – to make sure that all who participate have an active understand of the rituals taking place. If you have ever wondered why specific ingredients are used or why certain items are worshiped, then you will be relieved to know that the answers are sweet and simple.
