ABOUT MATRU / PITRU PADA PUJA

This is a beautiful tradition that instills reverence and love within the child and awakens deep emotions and sentiments within the mother. Mother is our first God, 'Matru Devo Bhava' and Father is our second God, 'Pitru Devo Bhava', through love and reverence for the mother and father the child will learn easily to extend that same love to the Supreme Lord of the whole Cosmos.

Our father and mother have done so much for us in our lives. During this month of November, let's remember them by bringing them to the Chinmaya Sannidhi Ashram or Strathfield South Public School and performing a Pada Pooja. Let's show our love and respect for them.

Note: Children can be of any age (young or senior) as long as they can sit and do the pooja

Swami Shrikaranandajii will be guiding the children step by step so that they can do the pada pooja to their parents directly.

We will be worshipping our parents with Pada Pooja.

1. My Mother and / or Father

2. 4 metal plates to keep feet of my parents (2 for each parent)

3. One towel each for each parent

4. Akshata (some uncooked rice)
