Introduction to the Hindu Sanskruti

The Hindu religion has evolved over millions of years. This evolution has brought forth different ways of worshipping the Almighty. The Hindu pantheon of gods, the Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva or the Advait philosophy might seem contradictory to an alien but to a Hindu, it is complementary and engrained in his conscience.

Hence wherever a Hindu goes, he would like to follow the rites, rituals, festivals and fasts which are the temporal part of the religion. Many times he cannot do so for lack of information or material or the pandit to perform the rites. This website aims at filling this gap.

The Sanskruti Section is envisioned to provide the necessary assistance to follow Hindu Religious Rites and Rituals simply by following the instructions and listening to the incantation of the prayers in Sanskrit or repeating them. The significance of these rituals is explained simply to enable easy comprehension. We must state here that there are many interpretations to Vedic texts and symbols and there could be a completely different significance of a particular rite. The primary purpose is to provide the method, the different items required for the worship and the shlokas or mantras. The description as to how, when and why a ritual is followed is also included.
