Pooja Services
A pooja service is a ritual of worship to the Divine or to one or more deities, involving visualization, mantra recitation, and offerings. It is performed to keep in harmony with cosmic
forces, to receive blessings, to accumulate merit, and to overcome sorrows and obstacles. It can also honor or celebrate a special guest or event. Pooja services can be held either at home or in temples.
