Questions, answered

Three pujas are performed through Sai Astrology:

• Nag Puja — to lift ancestral dosha, a cursed kundali, kalsarpa and similar afflictions.
• Birthday Puja — performed once on your date of birth, and holding for life.
• Abhisheka — a small panchamrit offering for birthdays, anniversaries, milestones and thanksgiving.

If you are unsure which applies to your situation, send your details and Guruji will advise.

In five stages. You fill in the puja request form with the name of the person the ritual is for. Guruji then confirms the timing, the date and the cost. Payment must reach us at least ten days before the scheduled ceremony, and an online confirmation is issued once it arrives.

On the day, a brahman priest performs the ritual at the temple, pronouncing the name, the gotra and the sankalp of the person concerned. A completion notice follows, after which the prasad is dispatched.

Your physical presence is not necessary. The puja is performed in the temple by the brahman priest by pronouncing the name, the gotra and the sankalp of the person for whom it is being done. Devotees across India and abroad have had pujas performed this way.

Prasad is sent to you — this may be angara, vibhuti, kumkum, chandan or turmeric, along with flowers or tulsi leaves, and the kankan to tie on the wrist or carry with you.

Please note that no edibles of any kind are sent.

You should normally receive the prasad within five to seven days of dispatch, which happens the day after the puja date. Items are packed properly and sent by a courier service with tracking.

For a small puja the cost normally comes to ₹200–250, all inclusive. Beyond that, the dakshina for the brahman priests is whatever you wish to offer.

Cost varies with the type of ritual. Send an enquiry with your details and you will be told the exact figure before anything is confirmed.

By cheque or demand draft drawn in favour of Shri Kishor B. Mhaskar, sent to the postal address on the contact page. Direct deposit at ICICI Bank, Vartak Nagar branch, Thane is also possible — account details are shared with you on confirmation.

Payment must reach us at least ten days before the date of the puja.

For a kundali reading: your full name, your father's and mother's names, and your date, exact time and place of birth. The time matters — even a few minutes changes the ascendant.

For Prashna Kundali no birth details are needed. Just the one question, clearly put.

Yes. Consultations are held over the phone or WhatsApp, and puja is performed at the temple in your name whether you are in Thane or overseas. Prasad is couriered to the address you give.

Send your details through the form on the contact page, message on WhatsApp, or call +91 98202 78683. Guruji will come back to you with a time.
