Graha Shanti — Home Blessing

Before you move in, the pujari blesses your new home — with kalasha, rice and mantras.

Four walls become a home through what happens inside them. Graha Shanti (also Vastu Pooja) prepares this transition: the pujari invokes the protector deities of the four cardinal directions, consecrates the central kalasha (a copper pot of water with mango leaves and coconut), carries rice and blessings into every room, and closes with the aarti before your household altar.

The pujari comes to you — in Berlin, the surrounding area, gladly at a housewarming with family and friends. Date, structure and the items you need to provide are arranged over the phone in advance.

Preparation

  • Have the rooms cleaned before the pooja.
