In the beginning, the Creator (Prajapati) created mankind along with yajรฑa (a broad term for worship or sacrifice) and said: ‘By this shall you prosper; let this be the wish fulfilling cow’

What is Puja?

A puja is a means to meet the divine through the human sense organs. It is a ceremony where we invite the the divine in a particular form, and make offerings as prescribed by scriptures and the lineage of teachers. It is a process where the nine types of bhakti come together. When puja is correctly performed, its fruits make life better, and we are purified little by little. Upon regular practice, one attains the radiance of the form they worship.

The scriptures describe Pujas that bestow specific benefits when done correctly by someone with authority. Pujas can please various forces of nature so that blocks in life created by our past karmas may be removed. Pujas can also be done to attain specific goals such as strength, wealth, a partner, or moksha.
