When To Perform A Narayan Bali Pooja? The narayan bali puja is an age-old Hindu tradition. This ritual or puja is actually performed in households to liberate the souls of the ancestor that is tied down on the earthly plane due to unheard or unfulfilled desires by their family members. The prayers of this ritual are offered to Lord Vishnu to pacify Narayana for sudden or unusual deaths of ancestors. Deaths such as murder, suicide, drowning, deaths due to health conditions or accidents etc are considered for performing this puja. It is believed that since their deaths were sudden and they had to leave their world, their desires were left incomplete on the moment of their death. These unfulfilled wishes and desires left behind create chaos and problems in the well being of the family members so as to keep reminding them of their existence. The major benefit gained after the completion of the puja is a sense of peace and happiness. This ritual dispels negative energy and allows for Spiritual Healing by allowing the ancestors’ souls to rest in peace. It also helps in getting rid of any ancestral curses that might otherwise have shadowed the entire family. According to Hindu custom, this is the only ceremony to have the power to bring peace to the ancestor’s soul and secure their blessings.
