Nitya Puja Vidhi Classes in the USA
The daily vidhi, in the order it is meant to be done
Nitya Puja Vidhi is a specific procedure, not a general idea of worship: purification, resolve, Ganapati, the Kalasha, the Guru and lineage, the sixteen offerings to the Ishta Devata, chanting, forgiveness, and a prayer for the wellbeing of all. Learners in the USA are taught it in that order, one step per class, until the whole sequence is theirs.

The daily vidhi, in the order it is meant to be done
Searching for the vidhi turns up a dozen versions of the order and no way to tell which is right, or why a step sits where it does. Here the sequence is taught as received, with the reasoning given — so when two sources disagree you understand the difference rather than guess at it.
The USA is our largest community outside India, and it is spread across four time zones, which shapes everything about how we schedule. Most families who write to us are second-generation parents whose own Sanskrit came from a grandparent, and who have realised their children have no equivalent person to learn it from.
The reason each step sits where it does, not merely that it does
Devanagari and pronunciation together, so the text can be read and chanted
The steps commonly dropped — Saṅkalpa, Kalasha puja, Kṣamā Prārthanā — restored
Stotra and Veda pāṭha selected for the household deity
Batch timings for the USA
Live classes on PST/EST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekend mornings Eastern and Pacific are the two slots that fill first, because they land in the Indian evening and work for both coasts. Weekday batches run at 6:30 to 8:00 PM local on the East Coast. We do not ask a child in California to attend at 5 AM, and if the only slot we can offer you is a bad one we will say so.
Families join us from the Bay Area, New Jersey, Dallas, Seattle, Atlanta and Chicago in the largest numbers. Several batches have ended up entirely North American, which children like, they are learning alongside others in exactly the same position.

Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us who the class is for
Call or WhatsApp us and say who is joining and where they are starting from. For nitya puja vidhi classes that matters — the mentor pitches the first class to their age, body and experience.
2. Personal guidance from a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with you for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class and batch of ours.
3. Pick a slot that fits your week
We place you in a batch scheduled for PST/EST, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“Living in California, we worried our kids would lose their roots. The online Shloka and Gita classes changed that. They chant every morning now, and understand what the words mean.”

A general class teaches you to worship; this teaches one specific procedure, the Nitya Puja Vidhi, in its traditional order with the reasoning for each step. If you want the sequence itself rather than an introduction, this is the one.
