Online Puja Classes in Minneapolis
Learn to perform the puja, not just attend one
Most households in Minneapolis 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.
The Twin Cities have a well-established Indian community, and the Hindu Temple of Minnesota in Maple Grove is one of the largest Hindu temples in North America. Families here are used to building their own cultural life in a region with real winters, and they tend to want rigour from a class, not just a pleasant hour.

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 CT, 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.”
