Why we suggest repeating the Puja

A Puja can either be conducted as a detailed ceremony once or as brief, repeated pujas over a period.

Repeating Vedic Pujas can be more effective than performing an elaborate puja just once, you can consider the following points:

• Repetition Reinforces Intentions: Repetition helps reinforce your  intentions, creating a stronger spiritual connection over time. It can deepen your focus and commitment, amplifying the puja''s impact.
• Building Spiritual Discipline: Repeated pujas contribute to the development of spiritual discipline, fostering a sense of dedication and devotion.
• Incremental Accumulation of Positive Energy: Repeating pujas regularly can lead to a gradual accumulation of positive energy, creating a sustained and heightened spiritual atmosphere. The cumulative effect of repeated pujas can result in a more profound impact on the individual's l well-being.
• Consistent Alignment with Cosmic Rhythms: Vedic pujas often align with cosmic rhythms, and regular practice ensures continuous alignment with these cosmic forces, enhancing the ritual's effectiveness. Repetition can synchronize your energy with the natural cycles, creating a harmonious resonance.
• Strengthening Spiritual Resonance: Repeated pujas create a resonance within you fostering a harmonious connection with the spiritual realm. Regular engagement helps in attuning the individual to the subtle energies involved in the puja, leading to a more potent spiritual experience. 
• Cultivating Patience and Perseverance: The discipline of repeated pujas fosters patience and perseverance, essential qualities for growth.

Importance of Pitrus

• Ancestral Worship: Our scriptures emphasize the importance of performing rituals and offering prayers to ancestors.
• Karma and Liberation: The souls of ancestors continue to exist in subtle realms and can influence the lives of their descendants. By performing rituals and offering prayers, one can help elevate the souls of ancestors, which in turn can bring blessings and positive karma to the living descendants.
• Lineage and Continuity: Ancestors are seen as integral to the continuity of family lineage. Respecting and honoring them is a way of acknowledging the roots and heritage of one's family.
• Connection Between the Living and the Dead: Our scriptures teach that there is a connection between the living and the dead, and maintaining this connection through rituals and offerings strengthens familial bonds and spiritual ties.
• Seeking Guidance and Blessings: We seek the guidance and blessings of our ancestors during important life events, such as marriages, childbirth, and major decisions, believing that the wisdom and blessings of ancestors can guide them through life's challenges.
• Spiritual Evolution: By honoring and remembering ancestors, we believe they can help facilitate the spiritual evolution of both the living and the dead, leading ultimately towards liberation (moksha) from the cycle of reincarnation (samsara).
