Puja Training and Sponsorship

What is a Puja?

A puja is an offering made with love and a feeling of abundance. Pu means flowering and ja means born out of. Together the word means arising out of a state of fullness. It is a formal way of thanking the creation in 8 specific ways for everything you have:

1.) for the Sun every morning, we offer a candle.
2.) for the sweet air we breathe, we offer incense.
3.) for the food we eat, we offer rice.
4.) for the clothes we wear, we offer cloth.
5.) for the water we drink, we offer ablution.
6.) for the love in our heart, we offer a flower.
7.) for the fulfillment of our desires, we offer a fruit.
8.) and for the purity of our thoughts, we offer lit camphor.

Every religion has a form of puja at its core, but its original purpose and meaning may have been lost. What’s unique about India is that the law of offering and receiving has always been preserved. When there’s giving back, an opening is made to receive more.

What Tradition Do Your Pujas Come From?

Our pujas come from the oldest surviving Goddess tradition alive still, Shri Vidya. Shri Vidya is a path that is devoted to the highest knowledge available about life from the Vedic tradition and the technologies to achieve complete material and spiritual fulfillment from the Tantric traditions.

For centuries, this knowledge has been both protected and kept secret in India. Very few privileged people could even know about Shri Vidya, let alone do any of the practices.

But now since positive spiritual upliftment is so urgently needed, Sri Amritananda Natha (head of the Shri Vidya lineage of Devi Puram) has opened the beautiful teachings and practices about the Divine Feminine to the world.

For the first time in the history of this tradition, the teachings of Shri Vidya are available to anyone who loves the Divine Mother. We are very fortunate to have the guidance of Sri Karunamaya Baba, the newly consecrated pontiff of Devi Puram, who offers instruction in the puja most sacred to the Goddess, the Navavarana Puja, in many locations across the United States and Canada.

See schedule for upcoming Navavarana Puja classes.

How Can I Participate?

It’s always best to attend a puja in person, but that’s not always possible. So we’re happy to extend the blessings of these pujas to you in the form of sponsorship. By sponsoring these pujas, you make it possible for them to take place and bless many people.

As a result, you benefit from the merit of creating positive energy that has an uplifting affect on your life and the lives of those around you. Sponsoring a puja can also help during times of difficulties to relieve you of any obstacles, delays, and misfortunes.
