Puja for parents' long life

[satay]

namaskar,

I am wondering if there is a special puja or yagya one can get performed by a priest(s) for the well being, health and long life of one's parents.

[Eastern Mind]

Satay: I searched a bit. A lot of the sites were Buddhist, interestingly enough.

This one .. http://www.kamalkapoor.com/puja/ayusha_homam.asp

wasn't. Hopefully it can give you ideas. We have one Maharashtran family here who sponsor homa (havan) quite regularly. Perhaps this is why. Homa sponsorship on a monthly basis could be quite a chunk of change. You can do it at home, I suppose.

Aum Namasivaya

Thanks Eastern.
Obviously, I can ask the priests of our two temples too but wanted to find out if a member knew about some specific puja for this. If there is one, my mom probably knows about it but I don't want to ask her. Want to keep it a surprise...

Apply this to the limbs of you loved ones:

or

2] Narayana kavacha as found in the bhagavata-purana

pranam bhaktajan,

Thanks for this. How would I get this done? Does a priest have to do this or can anyone recite the kavacha with the loved ones in mind? Do you know?

Thanks for your help!

Satay, I've actually been wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking.

Officially I don't know.

But it seems Okay to do oneself [because of urgency].

But I sure you'd like best done by a priest.
