Sriman Santaram Swamiji will perform pooja at homes of interested people in the New England area on rotation basis. Swamiji will perform Sri Lakshmi Narayana pooja every Friday  and/or Saturday at 7:00 P.M and Sri Krishna Pooja on every Ekadashi day at 7:00 P.M. It's upto the host - whether to provide food and/or prasadam. Food/Dinner (if you would like to serve) can be served before or after the pooja. Usually there will be a small discourse by Swamiji after the pooja and Sri Vishnu Sahasranama parayanam. Even though we send e-mail regarding poojas to group for informational purposes you are advised to invite your relatives/friends to the pooja.

 

If you would like to have pooja at your home, please send an e-mail to pooja@jetnewengland.org. Please mention your name, spouse name, phone number, address, date of choice and whether you are planning to serve food or not.
