It is done on a variety of occasions and settings, from daily puja<\/em> done in the home, to temple ceremonies and large festivals, or to begin a new venture. <\/sup>Puja<\/em> is modeled on the idea of giving a gift or offering to a deity or important person and receiving their blessing. The two main areas where puja<\/em> is performed is in the home and at public temples. There are many variations in scale, offering, and ceremony. Puja<\/em> is also performed on special occasions such\u00a0as Durga Puja\u00a0and Lakshmi Puja. Puja or Pooja is also a Hindu <\/span><\/span><\/strong>female<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> first name.

It is performed to please the <\/span><\/span><\/strong>gods<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> or to attain certain wishes. An essential element is the sacrificial fire – the divine <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Agni<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> – into which oblations are poured, as everything that is offered into the fire is believed to reach the gods. As the name of the service, the term Yagna is linguistically (but not functionally) cognate with Zorastrian (<\/span><\/span><\/strong>Ahura<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>) <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Yasna<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a>. Unlike Vedic Yajna, Zoroastrian Yasna has „to do with water rather than fire“ .

After enjoying several weeks of traditional Hindu yagya ceremonies, we returned and found that a surprising number of people in America were interested in access to effective and affordable yagyas. So we began offering them monthly, sharing the costs amoung the sponsors and donating the proceeds to the Venkateshwara temple in Malibu, California.<\/span><\/p>\n As the group expanded we wanted to be able to offer a wider variety of yagyas and use more priests. So we were fortunate enough to purchase a facility in Kanchipuram, a wonderful temple town south of Madras. With that, we were able to offer a greatly expanded variety of yagya services. Seetharam was planning to move to India and so we were fortunate to be able to have him manage all the puja.net yagyas in person.<\/span><\/p>\n With the new facility and Seetharam’s on-site presence, we currently offer yagyas every single day of the month in Kanchipuram!<\/span><\/p>\n Not surprisingly, the group has expanded to include participants from around the world; US, Europe, Scandanavia, South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. The group continues to grow on the basis of the consistent results that the yagya performances bring.<\/span><\/p>\n Please address your comments, questions, or requests to me via email.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Our mission is to make yagyas available in a way that is as close to the timeless traditions of the Vedas as is possible. With that in mind, our mission standards are:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
All yagyas will be performed in the most traditional and authentic manner possible, without regard to cost or time considerations.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\nAll yagya services will be priced so that they are within financial reach of any individuals who wish to participate. The price of the yagya service should bear a direct correlation to the cost of performing the yagya.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\nService, not profit, is the driving motive behind puja.net.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\nOur sponsorship of yagyas is intended not only to result in positive benefit for ourselves. Through our participation, we honor and preserve the Vedic traditions in India, and provide meaningful employment for highly qualified priests.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n
