Puja Ethics & Transparency (ShivOnCrafts)

• Conducted by trained Vedic priests in Mumbai
• Performed as per Shastra, with time-stamped videos, mantra counts, and Sankalp in your name
• Scheduled within a week unless specific tithi recommended

What You Need To Do (Simple Guidelines)

• On puja day, bathe and wear clean black, blue, or dark clothes
• Light a mustard oil diya facing South-West, and chant “Om Rāhave Namaḥ” or “Om Namah Shivaya” 108 times
• If unable, continue your daily routine—the puja is done in your name

Does Online Puja Work?

• Yes. The core engine of Vedic remedy is Sankalp (intention offered in your name) and mantra + agni (sound + fire). Distance does not limit the energy
• Watching live or via recording still channels the blessings to the yajamān
