📘 Srimad Bhagavatam Installation Ceremony at Home

Welcoming the Literary Incarnation of the Lord

The Srimad Bhagavatam is revered as the literary incarnation of Lord Krishna, and welcoming it into one’s home is a deeply spiritual and transformative moment.

🌼 What the Ceremony Involves:

• Devotional Welcoming (Pūrṇa Kumbha or Kalasha): The Bhagavatam is welcomed with a kalasha, auspicious music (like kīrtan or Vedic chants), flowers, and conch blowing, similar to welcoming a highly revered guest.
• Pāda Puja and Garland Offering: The book is placed on a clean, decorated altar or chowki, offered garlands and incense, and worshipped as non-different from Lord Krishna.
• Satsang and Reading: The first reading begins from the invocation verses or the first śloka of the Bhagavatam, often accompanied by kīrtan and discussions which will be done our senior monks who will be visiting your place on the day of the booking.
• Bhoga & Aarti: The visiting monk performs aarti (offering of lamp) to the Bhagavatam, offer fruits or sweets (bhoga), and performs kirtan
  
• Distribution of Prasadam: Guests and family members receive prasadam as a part of the auspicious celebration.
• ​

🪔 What You Need to Arrange:

• A new copy of Srimad Bhagavatam (the event fees include this)
• Clean altar space or a small raised platform
• Kalasha with water, mango leaves, coconut

• Fruits or sweets for offering
