Saraswati Devi Shodashopachara Puja
About the Event
As per Hindu mythology, Saraswati Devi is the wife of Lord Brahma, the creator and the goddess of wisdom and learning. Since ancient days all gurukul students, every day, used to pay their respects to Maa Saraswati saying "Saraswati Namstubhyam....." before starting their learning from Guru, believing that she will help them to focus on learning and gain wisdom to apply their learnings in real life.
Compared to earlier days current generation students have an infinite number of choices, like Youtube to Whatsapp, to get distracted from the process of learning. With lockdown situation, the process of learning may move online for quite some time and extra focus on learning is going to be very important. The learning should not be for achieving high marks but to apply the knowledge in unexpected scenarios like Carona Virus Pandemic. So Saraswati puja is highly recommended for all the students of the current generation.
During these pandemic times, it is not advisable to make the student attend Saraswati Puja by stepping out or inviting pandit to home. So for the benefit of all the students and their parents we Janata Temple are conducting Saraswati Puja online via zoom every Wednesday. We are requesting students and parents to make use of this opportunity and register for this ePuja and attend it via zoom call.
Either you can perform the puja while our pandit is guiding you or Our pandit will be performing the puja with all puja material. To provide a quality experience to each family we will not mix the puja with other devotees. Devotees are advised to sit at their home Puja Room or any other calm place eligible for spiritual activity and join the zoom call. Janata Temple's customer service executive will make sure you are comfortable before starting the puja.
This puja will be live-streamed on our Facebook page so that devotee friends & relatives can view devotees participating in the puja and share their wishes.
Typically below Puja Material are needed if you are doing puja yourself. We will confirm this list once the pandit is confirmed. Puja Material list changes a lot based on the purpose of the puja, affordability of the puja yajamani, and pandit. Please contact us if you have any doubt.
