How to do Griha Pravesh Pooja without Priest?

People in India are usually very particular about shubh muhurats, especially when it comes to shifting to a new home or purchasing a property. We believe that conducting a Griha Pravesh pooja on an auspicious day, brings good luck and fortune. People usually opt for pundits but sometimes they are not available. Let’s read about how to do Griha Pravesh pooja without a priest:

• Firstly, pick out an auspicious date for the Griha Pravesh pooja as per the Hindu calendar. You can easily find some good dates online.

• You can consult an astrologer who can suggest a shubh muhurat/muhurtam as  per the horoscope of home owners. 

• After choosing the date, you should clean your home. You can even draw a rangoli at the entrance and decorate your home with flowers.

• On the chosen date, enter the home with an idol/picture of Lord Ganesha in your hands and place him on the northeastern corner of your home.

• Light 2 lamps in front of the picture/idol and offer him flowers, fruits, and sweets as prasad.

• At the main entrance, hang a garland made from mango leaves to keep the negative energies out.

• Then light a camphor lamp and perform some mangal aarti in front of the picture/idol. You can also ring bells and blow a conch shell.

• After that, boil some milk in a new vessel and add some sugar and rice in it and distribute it among invitees as prasad. You can then break the coconut and distribute it as prasad to guests.

• I want you to know that you are supposed to stay in your home for at least 3 days after the puja is completed. 

• Do some chanting to invoke your ishta-devta and create positive vibes.

2. Place a pooja area in the east direction of the house.

3. Place the god’s idol or photo and perform Kalasa pooja.

4. After this, say your goal of doing this pooja.

5. Perform the Vinayaka pooja which is to be followed by the 108 names recitation. 

6. After this, perform dhoop, deep, Naivedya mantra and Pushpam.

7. Next, perform the Satyanarayana Vrata Katha. 

8. Recite the Narayana Suktam (Sahasra shirsham Devam VishwAksham VishwaSambhuva) and then full mantra pushpam (Yo pam pushpam Veda, pushpvan prajavan….).

15. The important step in how to do griha pravesh without priest is when you enter the house, the woman should place her left foot and the man should place his right foot first. The house owner and the mistress should come into the home with 5 things, including rice, turmeric, coconut, milk and jaggery. This will lead to no shortage of food and money in the home.

16. Worship the kitchen once you enter. Make a swasti sign and worship with Akshat and incense lamps before keeping the stove and water. Firstly, prepare a sweet dish on the stove. Offer the offerings to the Lord and take out food for the cow.

17. On the day of pooja, Lord Ganesha’s idol, Dakshinavarti conch shell, and Shri Yantra should be kept in the house. This will bring in wealth and all negativities will be removed.

I hope my answer helps you to learn how to do griha pravesh puja on your own.

Hey,

Having a home of my own was no less than a dream. Apna Ghar was what I always wanted to be able to say. It was my own little world which I decorated with my dreams. Everyone could understand and feel my happiness but could not possibly describe how happy I was to enter my home for the first time. But slowly, some trouble started in my house and my dreams gradually started disintegrating. After talking to my parents and some other elders I realised that one of the major reasons for this could be me not being able to properly follow the

griha pravesh puja vidhi

during the

house warming ceremony of my new home. Although I was lucky enough to realise it in time and get things done properly again. So, I am going to tell you the exact

griha pravesh puja vidhi if you are doing the pooja by yourself.

First and foremost, the date and hour of house admission are determined by bearing in mind the day, date, war, and constellation for home entry. You can check the

griha pravesh muhurat 2022 on the internet as well or ask a pandit.

Please remember the most fortunate moment to enter your home. Take the help of a knowledgeable brahmin for all of this, since he will complete the worship of Griha Pravesh by performing the rituals.

After completing the rite of prayer, one must enter the new dwelling with Mangal Kalash in the sunlight. I must tell you that

griha pravesh pooja cost in pune or any other city may cost you between Rs. 10,000 to Rs, 15,000.

• Bandhanwar, rangoli, and flowers should be used to beautify the house.

• Fill Mangal Kalash with fresh water and place coconut between eight mango or Ashoka leaves.

• On the urn and coconut, make a swastika sign with kumkum.

• The owner and mistress of the house should bring five auspicious items with them when they move into their new home: coconut, golden turmeric, jaggery, rice, and milk.

• On the day of Griha Pravesh, the Lord Ganesha statue, Dakshinavarti conch shell, and Shree Yantra should be brought to the house.

• The male should enter the new house first, with his right leg up, and the woman with her left leg raised.

• Following this, the kitchen should be used for worship.

• Swastik symbols should indeed be created by worshipping with rice and other similar materials. It is considered good to keep jaggery and leafy greens in the kitchen on the first day.

• First and first, after igniting the stove, milk must be boiled and sweets prepared and served to it.

• First and foremost, offer God food prepared at home. Remove food for the cow, crow, dog, ant, and other animals.

• Feed a Brahmin or a poor starving person after that. It is thought that doing so brings happiness, serenity, and prosperity into the home, as well as the removal of all flaws.

These are the steps I followed when I did my

house warming ceremony for the second time. I hope you find this helpful.
