Puja, a Vedic Ceremony:

The religious ceremonies from India are the oldest existing functional spiritual ceremonies in the world. They can be traced back to approximately 8,000 BC.

Pujas are held as a form of asking the Divine for help and guidance, for seeking true spiritual advancement and for expressing gratitude.

These ceremonies take the power of the Sanskrit mantras being chanted and drive them through the nadis or nerve tubes of the subtle body, clearing accumulated karmic debris which has sometimes been stored there for many lifetimes.

Although Pujas come from the Hindu tradition, this ceremonies are not religious oriented, but spiritual instead. Participation does not require any change in our belief system, and it respects any chosen religion or the lack of it. Everyone is welcome, and can benefit from partaking in this inspiring event!

Krishna is often called an incarnation of divine love. Promising to send aid even during Kali Yuga, the current spiritual winter, Krishna puja invokes the power of divine love into our life, whether in relationships or in the bhakti of spiritual devotion. Krishna puja moves in the twofold direction of liberation through contact with the divine self and through the principle of divine love.

Guru Puja: the inner teacher

The first guru written about in the Vedic tradition was called Dattatreya, reputed to be the Guru of all the gurus. The true teacher is within. Outer teachers and the Masters on the inner planes guide us ever closer to our divine nature. To the extent that any teacher is a clear and true reflection of our own nature, that teacher aligns us within. In that spirit, the Dattatreya Puja is a ceremonial propitiation of any teacher, either within or without.

Sudharshana Chakra Puja: the weapon of Vishnu

This is the only chakra located outside the physical body. It is depicted as a disk held by Vishnu, and it represents His power to destroy and create. Sudarshana Chakra Puja allows us to tap into our subtle body energy alignment, for optimal functioning of our physical, mental and emotional bodies.

Navagraha Puja: for reduction of planetary karma

Of the four types of karma described in Eastern texts, Prarabdha Karma, the position of the planets at the time of our birth, is the one kind of karma that cannot be changed. But though this astrological DNA remains constant throughout our life, the way we receive planetary vibrations can, indeed, be changed. Using astotaras containing 108 mantras for each of the seven planets and the two karmic nodes of the moon, this ceremony can ease the way we are forced to deal with difficult planetary alignments and natal configurations. This puja is performed to soften and reduce planetary karma of all kinds.

Siddhi Vinayaka is the most auspicious avatar of Ganesha. This is a very complete puja, in which we offer all five nectars, jewels and wepons to Lord Ganesha.

Ganesha Puja helps remove obstacles and invoke success in endeavors.
