Puja and other services
Puja is the act of showing reverence to God through invocations, prayers, songs, and rituals. An essential part of puja for the Hindu devotee is making a spiritual connection with the divine. Most often that contact is facilitated through an object: an element of nature, flowers, honey, etc.
During puja an image or any other symbol of the god serves as a means of gaining access to the divine. This icon is not the deity itself; rather, it is believed to be filled with the deity's cosmic energy. It is a focal point for honoring and communicating with the god. For the devout Hindu, the icon's artistic merit is important, but is secondary to its spiritual content. The objects are created as receptacles for spiritual energy that allow the devotee to experience direct communication with his or her gods.
For devotees across the globe, there are arrangements to get Puja’s conducted on their behalf. The list of Puja’s and seva’s performed are given below: |
Annadanam scheme:
Annadan or food giving has been recommended as a means of charity since ancient times. By feeding the poor and the needy, taking them to be forms of God, without caring for the fruits of your actions you will be blessed. Sai Baba once said, "Know for certain that he who feeds the hungry, really serves Me with food. Regard this as an axiom truth". (Shri Sai Satcharita).
If you would like to sponsor and/or participate an Annadanam, you can do so by donating Rs 250. Annadanam will be performed on your behalf on a specific date and 25 poor people will be fed.
We invite you to register and join us in this service by contributing to the extent you can. |
