What is Ayudh Puja?

Ayudha Puja is when everyone, workers and business owners, the pundits, the uneducated, the poor, the rich, the students and teachers give their tools of the trade—computers, pens, machinery, text books, automobiles, school work for puja. Throughout these days, its good to do japa and meditation. All that are sentient and insentient are worshiped on these days. Everyone offer obeisance to the Indestructible that is the foundation of knowledge. They start afresh from the 10th day which is considered as Vijaya Dashami.

If you would like to participate in the Ayudh Puja, please bring your tool of trade clearly marked with your first name, last name and contact info (phone # is a must). Children are especially encouraged to participate. You can bring your school text books in a bundle, clearly marked with your first name, last name, parent’s name and contact info (phone # is a must). You can take them back on Sunday after the Vijaya Dashami celebrations.
