Subject: October Navaratri Yagya Update

Greetings Yagya Friends,



As summer comes to a close, it is time for my favorite yagya series - Navaratri; the nine night dedicated to the Divine Mother in the form of Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati. The yagyas invoke their blessings and protection for the year ahead and express gratitude for the warmth, enjoyment and happiness of spring and summer.

During the entire festival, our priests perform the elaborate Chandi (shakti or goddess) yagya for 5-6 hours in the morning, followed by 2 hours of evening pujas in which the entire Chandi Path text is recited along with the 1008 names (Sahasranam) of Lalitha; the most beautiful form of the goddess.

We extend our yagya offering by including a full day for Ganesha before Navaratri starts, and special pujas for Saraswati who is honored on Vijaya Dashami; the day of victory on October 6th.

The cost of all nine days is only $51 and you can add 35 days of Navagraha yagyas

for a total of only $68.

You will find quite a few resources on www.puja.net that will help you to understand the significance of this great yagya, and to make the program even more enjoyable.

35 Day Navagraha Yagya
Tuesday, September 27 - Monday, October 31 ($35)

Our recent long Navagraha yagyas have been very popular and successful, so again this month, we are including a 35 day yagya for all nine planets. This is a particularly good time to pay attention to the planets especially because Saturn will be changing signs in November.

Thank you!

All of our priests and pundits in Varanasi and Kanchipuram are genuinely appreciative of your continued support. Together, we are making good things happen!



Very best regards,

Greetings Yagya Friends,


I am delighted to announce that because of your generous support of this month's Saturn yagyas, we have been able to more than double the number of priests performing the yagyas each day from 5 to 11!

This means that the power of the whole yagya series is greatly increased because more priests means more mantra repetitions, and more offerings into the yagya fire.

I've also extended the 11 priests to participate in the Pavamana Soma yagya this month in preparation for our 10 Day Soma Yagya series in December. Everyone's a part of this special yagya this month, and I hope you'll continue to participate next month as well.

This is a fantastic outcome and of course it is your support and participation that made it possible.

Thank you!

Greetings Yagya Friends,

December will be a busy month with two major yagya programs;

December 10th - Full Lunar Eclipse Yagyas
December 15-24 - Pavamana Soma Yagyas

The lunar eclipse on the 10th is a rare full eclipse that will be visible throughout Europe, Asia, and the US and Canada. Eclipses are always considered to be good time for mantras because the effects are strengthened during the eclipse. We have two groups of priests performing mantra japa on our behalf throughout that day.

The cost of the Eclipse Yagya is only $21 and you can add both the 10 Day Pavamana Soma and Daily Yagyas through the end of January for a total of only $108.

For more details and to sign up, please click here.

We began our program of Pavamana Soma Yagyas a year ago and it has become one of our most successful and popular yagya series. We've been dedicating a day each month to this yagya and in December we'll repeat this powerful yagya for 10 consecutive days.

This yagya requires specially trained priests who have mastered the 10,000 verses of the Rig Veda - fortunately we have access to these amazing priests thanks to the blessings of the Shankar Mutt in Kanchipuram.

The yagya focuses on the resolution of karmas that we inevitably incur though our day to day activities. It also stimulates the production of Soma - the basis for divine perception and the development of deep spiritual power.

Pavamanir dishanthu nah,

Imam lokamadho aamum,

Kaamaan samradhayanthu nah,

Devir devai samaabhruthaa.

Those who are purified by Pavamana Suktham,

Enjoy fully this world as well as the next,

Their wishes will be fulfilled,

And they will be united with gods and goddesses
-Rig Veda

The cost of all ten days is only $51 and you can add the Eclipse and Daily Yagyas through the end of January for a total of only $108.
