Navagraha Pooja at the Malibu Hindu Temple

27th Dec 2007 - My parents decided to do a Navagraha Shanti Pooja today at the Hindu Temple in Malibu. We started off early to the temple with lots of flowers, fruits and sweets. We got to the temple at around 9:30 in the morning and it was quite cold up in the hills. My parents started the pooja while my Bapamma took care of me (boy did I give her a hard-time). I wanted to run around and also be a part of the pooja. I wanted to sprinkle the teerth, pour the ghee in the havan, throw the rice. There were two Bhat Maams, Prasad Bhatji and Shashtri Bhatji. They were very nice. They gave me a Hershey's kisses and a Ferrero Rocher chocolate. 

After we finished the pooja, we visited the rest of the gods in the temple and then went home. It was a nice day for me. I got to run around the temple.
