Khatu Shyam Puja

Description

In the present age of Kaliyug, when life’s challenges seem overwhelming, Khatu Shyam Ji emerges as the guiding light for millions of devotees. Revered as a wish-fulfilling deity, Lord Shyam is known to bless his devotees with boundless support, protection, and spiritual growth. His divine presence offers a powerful connection to the higher realms, ensuring that those who seek his grace are never left alone in their journey.

The story of Khatu Shyam’s origin is nothing short of miraculous. He is none other than the revered Veer Barbareek, the son of Ghatotkacha, who had a deep, unwavering devotion to Lord Krishna. After sacrificing his own head in the name of righteousness, Lord Krishna, deeply moved by Barbareek’s devotion and sacrifice, granted him the divine boon to be worshipped as Khatu Shyam Ji during the Kaliyug. Devotees now honor him as the “Sheesh ka Daani” (the Donor of Head) and “Haare ka Sahara” (the Helper of the Loser). This signifies his eternal compassion for those in need.

How We Perform Khatu Shyam Puja: Two Sacred Ways

Performing the Khatu Shyam Puja is a deeply meaningful and spiritually enriching experience that brings divine blessings into your life. There are two distinct ways to perform this puja, each offering a unique and powerful way to connect with Lord Shyam and invite his blessings. Here’s how it’s done:

1. Kirtan & 56 Bhog Offering at the Khatu Shyam mandir

This is a powerful and immersive form of Khatu Shyam Puja, carried out at the first Khatu Shyam Mandir in Ujjain, a revered temple that holds immense spiritual significance. Here’s how it works:

• Kirtan in Your Name: A kirtan (devotional singing and chanting) is held in your name, along with the names of your family members. This kirtan calls upon Lord Shyam’s blessings and serves as a channel for your prayers to reach him.
• 56 Bhog Offering: 56 Bhog (a collection of 56 different offerings) are prepared and presented to Lord Shyam in the temple. These offerings are symbolic of the divine blessings that Lord Shyam bestows on his devotees, ensuring prosperity and well-being.
• Offering at the Jyot and havan : At the temple, a Jyot (sacred flame) is lit, and the pandit offers prayers and offerings in your name and the names of your family members. The divine flame amplifies the blessings, ensuring that Lord Shyam’s grace is showered upon you and your loved ones.
• Live Video of the Puja: To ensure you remain connected to the sacred rituals, a live video of the puja will be shared with you. You will be the Jajman (chief benefactor) of the puja, and the ceremony will be performed with the utmost devotion and care in your honor.

2. Gyaras Puja with Offerings to Agni in Front of Khatu Shyam Ji

This is another deeply spiritual way to perform the puja, held on the auspicious Gyaras (11th day of the lunar cycle), offering a more intimate connection with the divine.

• Personalized Offerings to Agni (havan) : On Gyaras, the pandit performs the puja by making offerings to Agni (the sacred fire), invoking Lord Shyam’s blessings. Your name, Gotra (family lineage), and the names of your family members are recited during the ceremony, ensuring the blessings are directed to you and your loved ones.
• Spiritual Connection with Lord Shyam: The ritual creates a powerful spiritual connection with Lord Shyam, inviting his divine energy into your life. This helps overcome obstacles, fulfill desires, and bring prosperity into your home.
• Video of the Puja: After the ceremony, a video of the puja will be shared with you, allowing you to witness the sacred rituals as they are performed in front of Lord Shyam Ji, ensuring you stay spiritually engaged and connected
