12 Types of Poojas And Their Importance In Real Life

Various types of poojas are performed to seek blessings or to honour the divine entities as well as our departed ancestors. They are also performed to mark a few life events. However, Vedic Astorlogy is not limited to that. Here, astrological profiles and their effects on the individual’s lives are considered and poojas are performed to promote positive energies while reducing the negative ones. Every element holds significance in pooja and every pooja holds significance in life.

1. Vastu Shanti Pooja

A Vastu Shanti Pooja is generally performed before moving into a new space such as a home or office to seek the blessing of the god of direction called Vastu Purush. It is said to promote positive energy for a peaceful life in the space. Besides moving into a new house, Vastu Shanti Pooja services in India and abroad can also help rectify the negative effects of the Vastu Dosha if this dosha is suspected in an existing space.

2. Satyanarayan Katha Pooja

The word ‘Satyanarayan’ is a combination of two words, ‘Satya’ meaning truth, and ‘Narayan,’ the name of Lord Vishnu. Overall, it means the Lord of ultimate truth. This pooja acts as one of the ways to express devotion towards Lord Vishnu and includes reciting the Satyanarayan Katha (story). It is mainly performed to ensure the overall happiness and well-being of all members of the house. Similarly, it is said to help overcome obstacles in life.

3. Marriage Pooja

A marriage Pooja is not only about the union of a couple but also an opportunity to seek blessings from the elders and deities. It also reminds the importance of commitment and dedication in marriage. All the rituals in this pooja hold significance and are meant to smoothen the couple’s marital journey. Thus, it is an ancient tradition and an important part of the Hindu culture.

4. Navagraha Pooja

In the Navagraha Pooja, ‘Nav’ means nine and ‘Graha’ means planets. This pooja intends to worship the nine planets collectively and reduce their negative effects. Here, worshipping each planet holds significance and helps attain harmony, better health, prosperity, knowledge and more. One can also perform a pooja for a specific planet as recommended by a qualified astrologer.

5. Pitru Pooja

‘Pitru’ refers to our departed ancestors. So, a ‘Pitru Pooja’ is conducted to offer prayers to them and seek their blessings. In this regard, a Pitru Dosh Nivaran Pooja helps reduce the effects of the pitru dosh and repay the ancestral debts. Such a pooja is also ideal for those looking for a pitru dosh pooja in India or abroad.

6. Ganesh Pooja

The God of wisdom and intelligence, Lord Ganesh, is worshipped to provide a guiding path to overcoming obstacles in life and taking the first step to something new with courage. It is easy to book Ganesh Pooja to be performed by a qualified Astrologer to encourage health, wealth and prosperity.

7. Laxmi Pooja

Whether you are looking for wealth, power, auspiciousness, etc, Laxmi Pooja, especially when performed with love and devotion, helps seek blessings. When performed specifically in Diwali, this pooja helps the devotees lead to a happy year ahead.

8. Hanuman Chalisa Path

Hanuman Chalisa Path (recitation) is believed to be a powerful mantra for devotion and spiritual upliftment that helps invoke the blessings of Lord Hanuman. Overall, it helps lead a life with courage and strength to overcome obstacles. It is also said to help improve concentration, strengthen spirituality and finally, find inner peace.

9. Rudrabhishek Pooja

Rudrabhishek Pooja means worshipping Lord Shiva in the form of Shiva Lingam. Devotees worship him with various names and ‘Rudra’ is one of them, while Abhishek means providing a holy bath of a sacred mixture to the Shiva Lingam. A qualified astrologer can guide in properly offering this sacred mixture while chanting hymns to create a positive energy.

10. Sunderkand

‘Sunderkand’ means ‘beautiful chapter’ which describes Lord Hanuman’s devotion towards Lord Ram including his journey to Ravana’s Lanka while searching for Maa Sita. Sunderkand is said to be one of the best methods to worship Lord Hanuman and seek his divine blessings.

11. Mahamrityunjay Jaap

Mahamrityunjay Jaap is said to be one of the powerful methods to seek Lord Shiva’s Blessings and conquer the fear of death rather than conquering death itself. It does not just help eliminate evil forces but also brings positivity to life. In this regard, an experienced astrologer can help you understand how to chant the mantra properly for better effects.

12. Yagnopavit Sanskar

Yagnopavit Sanskar is performed to a boy which makes him fit to study Vedas and encourages his ability to gain knowledge. Three sacred threads are placed around the left shoulder and each thread holds a significance. It also includes the performing of a Havan and is said to help protect the boy from negative energies.
