Shraadh Puja - Death Anniversary ritual
Ritual to invoke blessings of ancestors
Remembering our departed near and dear ones on their death anniversary and performing the Shraadh ceremony and Anna Daan to Brahmins and the poor is an age old custom of India. Whether it is our parents or brothers or sisters or children, once in a year on the day of their departure they re-visit us. It is believed that if we also remember them and perform a Puja for their soul and give charity in their name, they bless us and depart happily. It is believed that this ceremony helps the departed soul's progress in the journey in the other world.
Puja service includes: Pitra Aradhana, Mantra Jaap, Tarpan, food to 8 Brahmins, donation to Brahmins (clothes & money), feeding of cows, dogs, crow & beggars.
Eshwar Bhakti priests will perform your Puja as per the Vedic procedure. Please mention your birth details (name, date, time, and place of birth), & Sankalp (your wish) at checkout. This is an individual Puja (you may book puja only on your name or include your near/dear ones in your puja).
You can book this puja with or without a DVD. An hour-long DVD will have the main elements of your puja: Sankalpa, Abhishek or invocation mantras, presiding deity mantra chants, Homa and Aarti. If you opt for a DVD, we will upload it on a cloud link for you to download and watch online, within a week of your puja completion. If you don't opt for a DVD, we will email few short video clips and photos immediately upon successful completion of your ritual.
