Poojas
Pooja, a Tamil word meaning "offering from the heart," refers to various Vedic ceremonies deeply rooted in nature and typically performed in temples or homes. At Sri Narayani Peedam and Sripuram, these sacred rituals are conducted throughout the day, for the benefit of all beings; welcoming locals, pilgrims, and visitors from around the globe. Participating in a pooja offers a way to create peace in the world and one's life while earning merit and fostering spiritual growth. By sponsoring a pooja, you partake in a profound gift, contributing to the material and spiritual aspects of these ceremonies and in turn, supporting powerful prayers and intentions for yourself and your community.

Daily rituals performed here follow Vedic scriptures, fostering a sacred connection to the Divine.
The Sripuram Golden Temple, consecrated in 2007, serves as a spiritual oasis welcoming people of all faiths, drawing between 6,000 and 60,000 visitors daily.

Gho Matha
In the Vedic tradition, the cow is revered as Gho Matha, which translates to "Mother Cow." While a human mother nourishes her child with milk for a limited period, Gho Matha offers her milk throughout her life, embodying a spirit of unconditional giving. This sacred status is not only due to her role in providing nourishment but also because of her broader contributions to human life. Beyond milk, the cow provides valuable resources such as manure for cooking and natural fertilizer, making her essential to sustainable living. Among all the species on Earth, the cow is unique in her ability to produce more milk than her own calf requires, symbolizing her selfless and nurturing nature. This boundless generosity has earned her a cherished place in the hearts and spiritual practices of devotees.
