Private worship ceremonies are performed for an individual, a couple, a family or group of people with a common interest, such as a business or community group. Alternatively, pujas can be offered to bless others during an important occasion or a time of need.
Each ceremony will be performed with a specific intention, for example, at the beginning of a new venture for upliftment and success. While each Puja has a specific intention, all Vedic ceremonies are at their core, created for the purpose of peace and prosperity of the earth and all living creatures.
Depending on your intention for the Puja, one or more Deities can be worshipped, according to their specific attributes. It’s beneficial to keep in mind however, that all Deities are of the same Divine Consciousness and ultimately bring the worshipper to a greater awareness and alignment with the Divinity within themselves.
