Online Puja Classes in Reading
Learn to perform the puja, not just attend one
Most households in Reading 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.
Reading and the Thames Valley have one of the densest concentrations of Indian tech professionals in Britain, many of them on transfers from Indian IT companies or working for the multinationals along the M4. Families here are often recently arrived, and the class is frequently the first piece of cultural routine they set up in the UK.

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 GMT/BST, 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.”
