For Appeasement of Planetary Influences
The malefic or retarding actions of significant planetary influences has traditionally
been regarded as one of the prime causes for lack of success and disharmony within
the home. This Puja is performed to appease and correct whatever planetary imbalances
may be prevailing in one's destiny.
The primary process of the Puja involves a havan, or fire sacrifice for the primary
planets.
Duration: 2 to 2½ hours

For Rectification of innate energies & building faults
According to the ancient Indian science of Vaastu shastra, energy imbalances in
the home are the cause of delays and setbacks in one's life path. Sometimes there
are faults of construction to add to any innate problems with the present energy
of the environment. This Puja is highly recommended when moving into a new home,
especially if it has been previously occupied as it serves to purge and flush out
any negative energy that might be present. It is also a good idea to periodically
perform it as a sort of spiritual/energy spring cleaning. The process involves energizing
the actual ground or bhoomi, the foundations, the central pillars and the entrances
of the house. An accurate plan of the house is essential to be sent to us.
(While the Puja is best done on the actual site, it can still be performed by proxy
if accurate plans of the house displaying the pillars, foundations and entrances
are sent to us, or photos showing the same thing.)
Duration: 3 to 3½ hours

Shanti Havan

For generating a peaceful and harmonious environment
When stress and strife in the immediate environment, especially the home, rise to
levels much beyond tolerance, this Puja has proved to be very efficacious. It is
also helpful when interfamilial relations take on a combative tone. It has also
proved useful in work or business related troubled times. This is a very material
intensive Puja as the havan requires a wide range of offerings. The Puja also requires
a great many more mantras to be chanted than is usual in such procedures.
Duration: 3 to 3½ hours
Complimentary Yantra: Ganesh Yantra

Vishnu Yagya
|
|
|
A Worship of Vishnu
This Puja is traditionally done for success in all forms, for the maintenance of
success and to attract comfort and pleasure. Vishnu is the husband of Laxmi, Goddess
of Fortune, and he is also the Sustainer of the Worlds so the logic is obvious.
It is a somewhat lengthy Puja, including an elaborate havan or fire sacrifice, regarded
as the most powerful form of worship in the tradition, but there is also a short
version, called the Satyanaryan Puja for those who are so minded.
Duration: 5½ to 6 hours
Complimentary Yantra: Shree Laxmi Narayan Yantra

Satyanarayan Puja
|
|
|
A Small Vishnu Puja
This is basically the same Puja, but on a very compressed scale, done for the same
purposes as the Vishnu Yagya, with no 'havan' or fire sacrifice. It is usually done
on this scale to cut down on expenses and it does not require that the Puja be done
in a temple.
Duration: 2½ hours
Complimentary Yantra: Shree Laxmi Narayan Yantra

Shani. He is also the patron god of all sportsmen and athletic activity. This Puja

forces. It is also a Puja performed to gain Strength, physical as well as intellectual
as one of Hanuman's names is Buddhimatam Varishtam, First amongst the Astute! It
is a very powerful Puja.

Shiva Puja
|
|
|
This Puja is fundamentally performed to increase knowledge, especially spiritual
knowledge, as Shiva is regarded as pure consciousness. It is also done to stimulate
the fulfillment of ethical desires. It is an especially powerful Puja to calm down
strife and tension within the family and re-establish harmony. Since Shiva's marriage
is regarded as the Hindu exemplar, the Puja is also done for marital harmony. Shiva
is the Primal Healer so the Puja is also performed to maintain good health and recovery
from illness.
Duration: 3 to 3½ hours
Complimentary Yantra: Maha Mritunjay Yantra which is the form
of Shiva as Healer

Birthday Pujas
|
|
|
traditionally a Puja was considered the appropriate way in which to celebrate such
a significant life event. The particular Puja for birthdays is unique, invoking
the energies of Shiva and Markandeya, archetypes of longevity and health. The mantras
and materials used in this Puja are very specific to the purpose, which is why it
is a good idea to book the Puja at least a month in advance to ensure the availability
of both the appropriate priest and materials.
