A Brahmasthanam Temple is distinguished by an unique &#8220;<strong>Pratistha<\/strong>&#8221; with images of Lord Siva, Devi, Ganapati, Serpent (representing Muruga and Rahu) sculpted on the four sides of a single granite stone. The stone is symbolic of the concept that &#8220;Para Brahma&#8221; is the basis behind all forms of divine manifestations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">At Brahmasthanam Temples, devotees themselves perform &#8220;Graha Dosha Nivarana Pujas.&#8221; This worship mitigates adverse influences of malefic planets on living beings on earth, and restores peace, harmony and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">These Brahmasthanam temples, which emphasize on self participatory pujas are open to one and all, regardless of religion, caste and race. A Brahmasthanam Temple is a perennial source of spiritual ambrosia which helps, guides and fulfills the thirst of material and spiritual seekers of the present as well as for all ages to come.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:36px; background:#fff;margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;border:2px solid;border-color:#9F9F9F;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:left;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ammakolkata.org\/blog\/images\/pinGreen.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-left:30px;margin-top:7px;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.ammakolkata.org\/blog\/kolkataashram\/276\/pujas-homas-timings-and-rates\">Pujas &#038; Homas performed at Brahmasthanam Temple<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"border:thin dotted black; padding:3mm;\"><img style=\"float:left;margin-right:5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ammakolkata.org\/blog\/images\/pinRed.jpg\"\/>If you're new here, you may want to <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\"> subscribe to our newsletter [By: <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/feeds.feedburner.com\/AmmaKolkata');\" rel=\"nofollow\"   href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/AmmaKolkata\">RSS feed <\/a> | <a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=AmmaKolkata&loc=en_US');\" rel=\"nofollow\"   href=\"http:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=AmmaKolkata&loc=en_US\"> Email<\/a> ]<\/span> for the latest updates<\/a>.
