What is Narayana Bali Pooja?
Narayana Bali Pooja is a Vedic ritual that is performed to invoke Lord Vishnu. This ritual is recommended when there is an Akala Mrityu (unnatural, sudden, or untimely death) due to illness, drowning, a poisonous creature bite, suicide, or accidents. If a person has died in an abnormal way or if the proper burial rituals have not been performed, then the soul will not leave this earth. It causes disturbance to the existing family members. In the Narayana Bali ritual, these souls will either attain Moksha or enter the cycle of rebirth, depending on their karma. This puja ends their cycle of suffering and permits them to find peace or to be reborn.
