Kalasha Pooja is an ancient Indian spiritual practice for the fulfillment of specific desires for welfare of oneself or one's family. It can be easily performed at home with devotion for fulfillment of desires or solving day to day problems like attaining good health, creation of wealth, education, marriage, begetting children, court cases, success in various endeavours etc. and even for moksha for one's ancestors. It is done by procedural observation of prayers, offerings, incantations to the Lord Almighty (normally the Goddess) who is worshipped as the wish fulfilling Kalasha. During the period of performing Kalasha Pooja, one bonds with the Divine Living Presence at one's residence and receives Divine Grace everyday. Kalash Pooja fills the home with sacredness and increases one's bonding with his / her personal God. It also raises one's state of consciousness to higher levels. Besides fulfilling our desires and solving our problems, the Kalash Pooja leads us to a happy way of living in the busy and materialistic world. For understanding the simple procedure of performing the Kalasha Pooja at one's residence, either individually or by inviting a group of friends, please go through the following.

Take a copper or brass vessel (kalash) fill some water in it , put a bit of haldi and kumkum , some tulsi leaves and 2 one rupee coins in the water . Keep the five mango leaves on the kalash and place the coconut on top of these leaves. Place the kalash on the plate & spread the white rice (not the akshadha) on the plate. Put haldi (turmeric paste) on all the four sides of the kalash and the coconut. Now put the garland on the kalash as well as Lord's Picture. {Note that some vastra can be used to decorate the kalash}

The Kalasha Puja is conducted free of cost. However, it is customary to pay Dakshina for the Puja and hence you should send the dakshina of Rs. 108/- or more per person to Sahaayata International for the successful completion of the Puja.
Though you can start the Kalash Puja on any good day, registering is recommended since Prayers and Puja will be done in your name and Gothram for your Sankalpa (Intent) by the Sahaayata Teachers at the Head Quarters when registered. The net proceeds of the Dakshina received shall be spent on charitable activities.
To arrange Kalasha Puja with a Sahaayak at your location, you can organise a group of seekers and the Kalasha Puja will be conducted through video conference or live. At the end of the puja, we will have special blessings for the fulfillment of one desire for all the participants.
