About Parayana (Sacred Recitations)
Parayana is the disciplined, sequential recitation of a sacred text from start to finish, typically performed over 1, 3, 7, or 9 days. Gopuja arranges Bhagavad Gita Parayana (1 day, 700 verses), Valmiki Ramayana Parayana (9 days), Srimad Bhagavata Saptaha (7 days, 18000 verses), Devi Mahatmya / Durga Saptashati Parayana (1–9 days), Vishnu Sahasranama Parayana, Sundarakanda Parayana, and any other traditional paath. Hosted at your home with 1 or more qualified pandits, ideal for shraddhas, house sanctification, punya-anushthana, or before major life events.
📅 When to perform
Bhagavata Saptaha is often done in Shravana, Karthika, or Vaishakha. Ramayana Parayana during Chaitra Navaratri or Ramayana Masa (in Kerala tradition). Devi Mahatmya during Sharad Navaratri. Vishnu Sahasranama monthly on Ekadashi. Customise based on your gotra tradition and family need.
