Poojas & Homas

Religion & worship, mantra & tantra, astrology & remedies are neither made in India nor the copyright of the Hindus. They existed and still exist in Europe and China, in the bamboo forests of Africa and in the rain forests of Brazil. However, with more than 10,000 years behind us, the wisdom and tradition of the Indians still the best.

From time immemorial, man has been worshipping God. Some do it for salvation, some do it as a way of thanksgiving and some do it as a daily routine born out of custom or tradition or fear. But all do it seeking something. Every religious scripture tells us the same thing – “Seek with faith and you will be rewarded.” “Ask with faith and He will give you”.

Faith is natural, faith is eternal and faith is rewarding. There are innumerable recorded instances of how He rewarded the faith with His grace. The Indian scriptures are full of these tales. The Dunkirk Miracle during the 2nd world war is just one example during the modern times.

To worship God to seek something and to ward off the negative influences of the planets (called Dosha Nivarana), the various Vedic scriptures and the astrology scriptures have prescribed several poojas. If properly performed by fully qualified Vedic Pundits, they are effective.

In the olden days the pundits or purohits were taken care by the society. The king would give them a piece of land, the village/township head would give them a house to live and the people used to give them clothes and food as an offering (Dakshina) for teaching them the sastras and for performing the various poojas. So the pundits taught the knowledge of the Vedic sastras freely and performed the poojas and remedies also freely and accepted whatever the people offered them without any demands in cash or kind. With the decline of the Vedic way of life this system broke down. The rulers and the people became more and more materialistic and so did the pundits. Slowly the commercialism has spoiled the standards of purity and sincerity. Today the lure of money through astrology remedies and poojas is so strong that even some Muslim “Astrologers” from neighboring Islamic countries are offering to do “yagyas” for exorbitant prices!! The common man is at a loss to know who is genuine and who is fake.

However even today there is no shortage of genuine Vedic pundits who still do the poojas and homas as per the authentic Vedic tradition. I am pleased to inform you that due to repeated requests by my clients for online pooja order facility, I have put together a team of genuine traditional south-Indian Vedic purohits who can perform the poojas sincerely as prescribed in the scriptures.
