Durga Pooja
To gain the grace of
Mother Divine and receive Her blessings to remove ignorance, provide protection
from adversity and eliminate suffering on an individual and cosmic level. Durga
Poojas can be of various lengths, from two hours to six hours or more, and may
be performed on a single day, or on consecutive days. The recitation of
selections from the Durga Saptashati, a collection of beautiful hymns to Mother
Divine, is an especially enjoyable part of this Pooja.
Chandi
Homa
This is a more elaborate
Yayga that is understood to have powerful effects on the cosmic, global and
individual levels. It is traditionally performed to alleviate the adverse
affects of the planets, liberate man from all troubles, restore friendships,
gain blessings of wealth and beautiful children, and to overcome enemies and
evil planetary influences. Performance of the Chandi Homa includes Pooja two to
three hours long and a Homa (fire ceremony) that lasts approximately fours
hours. It includes the recitation of all 700 verses of Durga Saptashati, a
collection of beautiful hymns to Mother Divine.
Rudrabhishek
This special Pooja to Siva
includes a ritual bath (Abhishek) of the Siva Lingam, followed by the
recitation of the 200 verses of Rudra from Yajur Veda. The purpose is to gain
support for spiritual endeavours and to alleviate suffering, both individually
and for the entire creation. Yagyas to Siva also help to remove ignorance,
prevent disease and promote rapid recovery from serious disease.
Mahamrityunjaya
Homa
This special fire ceremony
to Siva is for ensuring a long and healthy life and help bring an end to
prolonged or severe sickness, as well as for many other purposes. It is also
traditionally recommended to relieve the malefic influence of Mangal (Mars) or Shani
(Saturn) when certain astrological combinations are present in the birth chart.
Saraswati
Pooja
Saraswati is the
embodiment of Mother Divine that is responsible for the enlivenment and spread
of Pure Knowledge, as well as progress in areas of study and of the arts. By
honouring Saraswati, the qualities of wisdom, intelligence and good memory are
enhanced in the individual and the environment. Yagyas for Saraswati help gain
blessings and support of Mother Divine in the areas of spiritual study, other educational
activities, or in the arts, including writing, public speaking, visual arts and
music. These Yagyas are often performed prior to starting studies.
Vishnu
Pooja
Vishnu is the Maintainer
of the universe and is responsible for ensuring evolution and harmony in life.
From time to time, Vishnu incarnates in an avatar such as Rama or Krishna to
restore balance to the universe after a build-up of negativity has occurred.
Yagyas for Vishnu help gain general support of nature and smooth family life.
Mitravrinda
Yagna
This Yagna is performed to
relieve tensions and improve relations between husband and wife and to ensure
the growth of harmony, love and happiness in married life.
Baglamukhi
Yagna
This Yagna is
traditionally considered to have special power in helping to gain success in
court cases, or to defeat business enemies or competitors, and to provide a
strong support of nature for fulfillment of desire.
