VAHAN / VEHICLE PUJA FOR 2 WHEELER
The shakti principle worshiped
during the Ayudha Puja are Maha Saraswati (the Goddess of wisdom,
arts and literature), Maha Lakshmi (the Goddess of fortune
and wealth) and Maha Kali (the divine mother, energy
permeating all creation), apart from various types of equipment. Weapons, tools
and all the implements that are used in day to day life are
worshipped. The Puja focuses specific attention on one’s trade and
its related tools and connotes that a divine force is working behind it to
perform well.
There is one divinity that manifests
itself as the intellect in all beings. When we honor that intellect, we honor
the Devi. Hindus bless all items and home
appliances that are used daily in homes, such as mixers, grinders, stoves, TVs,
stereos, etc. A Puja is to be performed at the inception of your connection to the
implement, as soon as possible after purchase or just before using it.
When a new vehicle is purchased, the Puja is to be performed before driving the
vehicle.
This Puja first
ritually invokes Lord Ganesh the destroyer of hurdles and obstacles. Then pacifies the planet Saturn – the Karaka
of metals and the planet Mars – the Karaka of energy, heat, and combustion. It
is essential to pacify these two natural malefic planets so that vehicle
remains accident free and the riders / passengers are always safe. This can be
performed on all festive and auspicious occasions.
