Every single day the Cosmic Puja is conducted at Devi Mandir. Cosmic Puja is the meditation or worship on the Universal divinity, the Infinite, beyond the realms of sensory knowledge, or all the forms of the divinity of existence. The five divisions of Hindu Dharma: Siva, Sakti, Vishnu, Ganesa and the Nine planets are worshipped along with more detailed worship of the Goddess and Her entourage.
Pu means Punya and Ja means Jata, to give birth. Puja describes the actions that give birth to merits.
You can sponsor a Cosmic Puja and give birth to the merit of becoming aware of the presence of God in your own life. Alternatively, or in addition to, you can sponsor a special puja for a specific deity (example, Ganesh, Hanuman, Durga). The Pujas that we perform regularly are listed here. Please fill in details of your donation and request for puja below.

For a thousand days the sacred fire is alight in Devi Mandir accompanied by the recitation of Chandi Path and various other scriptures.
The Chandi Path says that the Chandi brings peace to the three-fold nature of confusion (physical, mental, vital; or myself, others and acts of God). Divine Mother says that She accepts with love all offerings that are made and the recitation of the Chandi frees humanity from all troubles and without doubt showers blessings of wealth, food and beautiful children.
Offerings at the Chandi Homa consist of wood, rice, barley, honey, ghee, sugar, sesame seeds, yogurt, milk and pure devotion. You can participate in the blessings of the Divine Mother by sponsoring a Chandi Homa. Donation for one homa sponsorship is $108.
If you like to donate money for a Chandi Homa you can use your credit card or PayPal account

The daily offering of Bhog at Devi Mandir usually consists of kitchuri (rice cooked with dal), laabra (5 types of vegetables), chutney, rice pudding and other sweets, and paapads. You can offer Bhog to the Divine Mother by donating $108 for the prasad for each day's worship.
Bhog is offering of various articles of food to Divine Mother as part of our daily worship. The mantra for offering says:
Oh Annapurna, who is always full, complete and perfect, beloved energy of Lord Shiva, for the attainment of perfection in wisdom and renunciation give me alms, Parvati.
As we offer bhog, Mother gives us Her nourishment. Her wisdom teaches us that spirituality is about giving. The renunciation She teaches allows us to be in equanimity in every circumstance of life.

Ghee
Shree Maa has become very fond of offering ghee in the Chandi Homa. In Sanskrit the term for ghee is 'Ghrita,' which also means illumination. By offering our illumination into Her illumination, we create a great illumination whose presence is known throughout the three worlds.
