Bhagavati Seva pooja

The Bhagavati Seva pooja is an ancient Vedic ceremony intended to restore balance in the environment and bring peace within us and the world. It balances the malefic effects of planets and keeps us in harmony with cosmic forces, thereby removing and overcoming the sorrows of life and bringing spiritual upliftment.

Bhagavathi Seva is a specialized remedy that clears the negative, or destabilizing, influences of planets such as the Moon, Mars, Venus and Rahu. Each of these planets has a particular connection to the Goddess’s energies, and so they will be pacified through the performance of Bhagavati Seva.

• The Moon is ruled by Goddess Parvati, who gives wisdom, relationships and enlightenment
• In one story, Bhoomi Devi (the Goddess of Earth and Mother of Mars) provides comfort and healing on the material plane
• Venus is ruled by Goddess Lakshmi, who gives beauty, purity, grace and prosperity
• Rahu is ruled by Goddess Durga, the destroyer of negativities that block joy

It is done in the evening/night. Devi Bagavathi is invoked (Avahanam) in a Big brass lamp. Puja consists of recital of Lalitha Sahasranama. It is also done by reciting Durga Sahasranama. The lamp lookes beautiful at the end of the puja with all the flowers heaped around it. Arali is the preferred flower.
