Starting dakshina; the final amount is confirmed before the puja. We do not promise outcomes: families perform these pujas to seek blessings, as tradition describes.

When do families consider this puja?

  • A parent or relative is in hospital or recovering from surgery
  • A long or serious illness in the family
  • An elder's 60th, 75th or 80th birthday, when families pray for long life
  • The family is far away and wants to do something together for the patient

What can the family do at home?

  • The family can chant the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra 108 times daily, together or separately.
  • Monday: offer water to a Shivalinga on the patient's behalf.
  • Donate food or medicines to those in need in the patient's name.
  • Keep following the medical plan; never stop or change treatment because of a remedy.

What should you tell the pandit at the sankalp?

The patient's full name, gotra, and birth details if known, the person taking the sankalp on their behalf, and the wish 'for healing, strength and a full recovery.' The patient does not need to be present.

How does the online puja work from abroad?

Our pandits in India lead the puja live on Zoom, Google Meet, WhatsApp video. Your family performs the offerings at home with a samagri list we send in advance, and the muhurat is confirmed in writing in your local time and IST. You receive the recording afterwards.
