What Is The Role Of Puja Items In Vedic Rituals?

Puja Items

Rudra Centre online store offers various pooja samagri items for various pujas and festivals such as Dhanteras, Diwali, Lakshmi puja, Chopda pujan, Bhai Dooj and more. Ritual paraphernalia and vessels play an essential role in Hindu (Vedic pooja) rites, prayers and homas. Since the ancient Vedic times, people in India have performed homas at temples and homes. Homas or Havans include extensive use of supari, bel fruit, ghee, honey, Akshat (rice grains), turmeric powder, sindoor, Ganga jal, attar and so on. The Vedic scriptures like Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Arthavaveda mention the mystical secrets of healing material and spiritual existence through cosmic energies. The Homas involve mantras (sound), sankalp (purpose), thoughts and the five elements of Nature.

Why are puja vessels used in Homas (fire sacrifice)?

The most essential consideration before performing a Havan is using puja vessels and other items such as bowls for offerings, Abishek vessels, oil lamps, Panchapatra, bells, haldi kum kum containers, pedestal, Neti Patra etc. The vessels containing the puja items maintain the purity of the ingredients of those items. When a Homa is performed with the correct pronunciation of Sanskrit mantras, a certain etheric atmosphere emerges. Agni (fire) dispels the darkness literally and internally making those around it more receptive to the cosmic energy.

Blessings of the deities

With this paraphernalia, rituals are performed to worship and please various deities (Ganesh, Indra and Vishnu), nine planets and ancestors who all bestow upon the devotees material prosperity and spiritual attainments. Vedic rituals and mystic practices have been conducted to please gods and goddesses. These rituals are performed for different motives, such as honouring the family’s Ishta Deva, or the demigods mentioned by the shastras (scriptures). They, upon being pleased, offer their divine blessings to the worshipers who gain protection, bravery, health, wealth, affluence and success.
