Treasure Coast Unitarian Universalist Church

21 SE Central Parkway, Stuart

Puja is a Sanskrit word that means “offering.” The Monks chant prayers and perform rituals specific to the type of prayer being offered. The primary purpose is to overcome negativity that may be obstacles in obtaining relief from suffering and to promote spiritual, emotional, mental and physical well-being. Prayers are recited in the traditional overtone chanting, each monk singing a full chord of 3 notes. The prayers are often accompanied by symbolic hand gestures, cymbals, drums horns and flutes.
