Special Lokakalyanam Sevas

What is Lokakalyanam?

Lokakalyanam refers to the spiritual Sankalpa and prayers offered for the happiness, peace, well-being and prosperity of all people and living beings.

In the Sanatana Dharma tradition, collective welfare holds an important place alongside individual well-being. Yajnas, Yagas, Homams, Parayanams and collective prayers may therefore be conducted with a Sankalpa for the welfare of all.

These Sevas may include prayers for:

• Peace and harmony in society

• The overall welfare of people

• The well-being of nature and all living beings

• The welfare and prosperity of the nation and society
