Who knew one day offering puja would be possible online! If earning degree online is possible in digital age, why not puja, you might argue. But perhaps there will be something amiss. An online obeisance will lack the distinct flavor of brouhaha that normally associates with the way we like to do it.
But if you give the idea a second look, you’ll appreciate that indeed a know-all website on ‘how to perform puja’ will have many takers. After all, in distant shores you just don’t have purohits every second door. Ah, there you are! More than how to do pujas yourself, what you dearly need is the assistance of qualified purohits.

If you’re with me, I’ve a good news to reveal. Nabadwip’s Biswakalyan Trust will shortly come with a website that will have ready ‘whereabouts’ of nearly 2000 expert, Sanskrit-knowing purohits. They’ll be available on call to any corner of globe to conduct your puja in the ‘purest’ way.
What else will you get in the website?
A lot, depending on what you want to know. For example, you’ll know what are the ‘approved’ steps for various rituals, like grihapravesh (house warming), upanayan (thread ceremony) and so on. You’ll also know – and even order – what all ingredients (dashakarma items) are required to do a proper puja. In short, the website will have all about puja and purohit and everything between them.
Biswakalyan Trust’s website is expected to go live on the auspicious occasion of Kojagari Lakshmi Puja. If you think you cannot wait that long, why not give hindupurohit a try in the interim!
