Online Puja Classes in Melbourne
Learn to perform the puja, not just attend one
Most households in Melbourne perform some form of daily puja, and most perform it from memory — a sequence half-learnt from a grandparent, with the mantras approximated and a few steps quietly dropped. These classes teach the procedure as it is actually laid down: each step in its place, each mantra pronounced correctly, and the reason behind both.

Learn to perform the puja, not just attend one
A video can show you the order of a puja. It cannot hear that your Saṅkalpa is garbled, or notice that you have been skipping Ācamana for a year. Classes are live and small for that reason, and every learner chants and performs alone while the teacher listens.
Melbourne accounts for most of our Australian families. Several arrived through the Bharatanatyam community that Nrithyakshetra, our parent academy, is part of, and a good number of Melbourne children learn dance and shlokas alongside each other.
The daily puja performed in its correct traditional order, start to finish
Every mantra corrected live rather than imitated from a recording
The meaning of each step, so the actions are understood and not merely copied

Batch timings for Melbourne
Live classes on AEST/AEDT, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:00 to 7:00 PM Melbourne time, which is the late Indian afternoon, plus Saturday mornings. Australia is the most comfortable overlap we have with India — no early starts on either side.
Point Cook, Tarneit, Glen Waverley, Wyndham Vale and Craigieburn are our strongest Melbourne pockets. Daylight saving shifts the offset for part of the year and we move the batch rather than the family.
What you walk away able to do
Performing the complete nitya puja at home with confidence
Correct Sanskrit pronunciation across the whole sequence
Understanding what every offering and mantra actually means

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 online puja 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 AEST/AEDT, around work, family and daily routine rather than across them.
“The storytelling program transformed my shy son. Last month he confidently narrated a Panchatantra tale at his school assembly. The mentors are patient, warm and world-class.”
