Prayers Made Available Online

COVID-19 has truly taken the world by storm, and there doesn’t seem to be an end to it in sight. But, during this troublesome period, belief in God has remained strong, and people have turned to online ways of reaching out to the super-powerful entity. Online puja services provide a great opportunity to those who cannot visit temples because of their prior commitment, non-availability of time from a busy work schedule or just the moos to avoid troubles of travel.

As it is not safe to visit temples and organize large religious congregations at this time, the best alternative is to get online puja services. Convenient puja kits are available at different prices, along with useful information compiled from astrologers and priests. It is not the current pandemic which has resulted in the current state of existence, but e-commerce itself.

Rise in demand for puja services on the Internet 

Today, we live in a fast-paced world where people don’t have the kind of free time they used to have 15-20 years back. Things have drastically changed, but the commitment to connect ourselves from our roots remains constant. There are many religiously inclined people who use the software Zoom to participate in pujas such as Navratri. E-puja services are witnessing a tremendous rise in demand this year, with people preferring to stay at home. Today, it is possible to broadcast pujas from a huge number of temples across India’s length and breadth. As per the deity, it is possible to choose a particular temple. Once puja is done, and a ‘dakshina’ or donation is offered to the priest, ‘prasada’ or religious food is shipped to customers around the world.

Addressing insecurities

The recent pandemic has shown just how vulnerable all of us are, in terms of health. Doubts with respect to careers (owing to job losses) and finance are also on the rise. These are some of the major reasons for the rise in demands across religious websites.

Wearing Rudrakshas

In Hinduism, a person looking for a prayer bead should buy original Nepali rudraksha. When ripe, these seeds are covered with a blue shell on the outside, due to which they are often called blueberry beads. Worn by people across different age groups and genders, they help to calm the nervous system and decrease blood pressure. Additionally, the wearer also becomes more alert and agile. A garland should ideally have 108 beads strung into it, along with one additional bead that represents the bindu.

The benefits of wearing Rudrakshas are as follows:

1. Provides support and stability to a person on the move

2. Protects from negative energies

3. Helps children increase concentration and focus

4. Helps to attain purity in life

5. It is used for concentration during prayers or meditation

6. Itching and skin irritations can be addressed using them

Pray from the comfort of your home

In Hindu dharma, performing puja is a way to pay homage and respects to our Gods. It is the most sacred thing in every culture. Even when a child is born or when a person dies, we perform puja. It is the way of thanking God for everything we have and acknowledging our existence. Now, with digitization across the world, one can perform puja from the comfort of their home. You remember God, pay your respects to him and thank him for all his blessings as usual, but just the medium becomes online.
