Welcome!
India's vedic tradition is one of the great treasures of world culture. But, like traditional knowledge of all cultures, it is in danger of being lost in the onslaught of modern technology and the social changes that are the inevitable consequence of its adoption.
While Puja.net is itself an outgrowth of the internet revolution, we feel that it can also be a force for the preservation of this valuable ancient knowledge. We accomplish this through the use of this knowledge in the form of the yagyas and pujas that we sponsor, as well as developing a forum in which these ancient technologies can be explained in a context that is relevant in our modern world.
This portion of the puja.net site organizes our content and presents it an attractive and accessible format. We have two podcasts, a section of videos, and a "life in India" blog. Future plans are to include puja instruction, sections on mantra japa, and more...
Please visit often and enjoy what will hopefully become your vedic resource on the web. We welcome your comments and suggestions.
Vedic Mythology Music and Mantras
Each episode presents Vedic Mythology in a new light featuring inspiring and humorous stories from the vedic tradition, plus traditional vedic chanting.
Jyotish Conversations
This podcast series presents Jyotish; vedic astrology, in the form of conversations between practicing astrologers. We present topics in an easily understood, non-technical way designed not so much to teach astrology as to help develop an appreciation for the power and insight of this ancient knowledge.
Life in India blog
This blog is a collection of photos and insights into life in India and the community of brahmin priests and pundits who perform the pujas and yagyas for Puja.net.
