2025 Weekly Puja Ceremony with Raji and Friends
Tuesdays 9-10am ET via Zoom
Mantra. Healing. Prayer.
Vedic Puja Ceremonies…
some of the oldest existing ceremonies in the world are pujas.
The ancient devotional and spiritual science of Puja is like a powerful prayer, supported and assisted by divine energy.
Pujas may be used for many different life situations, including blessings and celebrations; for new beginnings, prosperity, career, health and healing, reduction of karma, assistance and guidance, rites of passage, marriages, births, and memorials.
Performed by a trained Pujari/Vedic Priest, a ceremony is a vehicle that taps into the unlimited possibilities, resulting in energetic shifts that can increase awareness, transform, and allow for the manifestation of true desires.
Ceremony and Mantra practices are open and available to anyone, regardless of age, situation, or religious belief. They are sacred tools we can all use to help merge our energies to the greater source of life, where there are no obstacles; free from judgment, pain, and illness. It is our birthright to live in peace.
