July 17-25 marks Guru Purnimah Navaratri for 2015. Navaratri (nava = 9; ratri = night) or 9 nights of Mother Divine is the time for cleansing and purification and evolution. It's a time when the tide of Sattva or coherence or wholeness of life rises to purge the lower, fragmented, imperfect values of natural law. In Vedic mythology it is represented as the time when Shakti (the quintessential power of the universe), champion of the gods, is victorious over the demons (lower, fragmented forces of nature). It is a time for light to triumph over darkness. This is an opportunity to re calibrate our lives: to get back on track, and to move forward towards realizing our long term goals and aspirations.

There are 4 Navaratris every year (9 nights of Mother Divine). Activation of Shakthi or Nature's organizing power is the core reality.

In addition, each Navaratri has its own theme. The upcoming Navaratri July 17-25 is crowned with Guru Purnimah (full moon of the Guru) on July 31. Guru or spiritual teacher connects us with the Divine or ultimate reality. Guru is the conduit through which life's bounties reach us. Guru Purnimah is the day when the Guru's influence is most lively and accessible.

So this July Navaratri, culminating in Guru Purnima, is one of the most auspicious windows to cultivate the influence of Guru in our life. This means everything good: enlightenment, happiness, wisdom, knowledge, education, true love, devotion, loyalty, life partner, family & children, and life lived in accord with natural law: dharma & destiny.

Guru Purnimah Navaratri is an excellent period to perform yagya to cultivate and strengthen these qualities, as well as infusing our lives with shakthi or nature's organizing power.

By taking part in this Guru Purnimah Navaratri yagya festival you will infuse your life with shakthi or nature's organizing power along with cultivating and strengthening the qualities of the Guru.

This will generate a powerful momentum for progress and success on all levels: inner and outer - happiness, fulfillment, material affluence, harmonious relationships & success in career & activity. This wave of wholeness rolls through your life, your family, your community & the world nourishing all beings at every level of creation.
Jai Guru Dev
 
Harnessing nature's momentum through yagya 
Navaratri is also known as 'Durga Puja': 9 day festival celebrating Durga: the Divine Mother -the wholeness or collectedness of God's feminine aspect. Yagyas are traditionally performed during the 9 days to harness the momentum of this highly auspicious window of opportunity. Navaratri or Durga puja yagyas serve to direct this lively flow of nature's organizing power into our daily life in order to safe guard and enhance our progress & evolution and also to achieve specific goals.

Dear Ganesha , Happy inform you that my son has now got good job in the field of his choice in Europe . All your remedial pujas , yagyas have really worked in the desired time period . Great , Miraculous. This ends his long break of more than 8 months between the job & post graduation which has been a big concern for us. I was concerned as this idle period was driving him to frustration. Regards, R. Dubai

A very heartfelt thanks for the amazing work you have done and accomplished! Thank you ever so much! May God bless you and all the Pundit ji's for your evolutionary work... AM, California

It is hard to pinpoint exactly what is doing what. I feel more loving... I am doing better with my writing. Money is coming unexpectedly from unexpected sources. I am very tired over doing it with the increase of bliss -have to be careful. I feel like a different person or more myself than I have been in many many many years.. N, USA

Dear Ganesha
The Yagya has been quite amazing. Firstly on the day of the yagya I felt a bit sick; the following day I felt amazing and in the days that followed, the one who had been giving me grief was asked to leave until she can have a more positive attitude! As for the other one, I am not sure, but so far, no problems from her side. I have to say also that it seemed to me as if the yagya had started from the day after I contacted you because on that day it's as if the universe had already sent a blessing to support the situation with both of these people. Wow! Am impressed!! Thanks heaps!!!!!! S. Australia

Hi Ganesha
I thought that I should check in with you. It is hard to believe, but I think that it has all passed. When I think back to how I described my state of mind just a month ago, and most of last year, it seems like a bad dream. I can use the same words but they have no reality for me now. Thank you for your thoughtfulness during this time and for arranging the Yagyas. We have now been living in our new place for the past 2 weeks which has helped – but it had stated to pass before we moved. The mental strife and unease has passed. Thanks J. Australia

Since the Yagya my life has somehow speeded up ... So many great things are happening... my father is loving the times I am with him in his house !!!!! He is so grateful for everything that I am doing for him!!!! just me being there makes him happy !!!!!!! can you imagine? Bitterness, disappointment and misunderstandings from a whole lifetime is lifting !!! Even my sister is praising me. I decorated a shop window with my work and was lying half the day completely high and blissed out in bed , the gold just streaming through me.... .... ...
Wow Ganesha ..... .... there is certainly something happening ... Lots of love from K

Last Navaratri coincided exactly with me being overseas. It began the afternoon before I left and was completed the day I started to travel home. 4 days into the program I woke up to such clarity of purpose and next moves it was incredible. Very powerful. It was quite a week. PR Australia

Dear Ganesha, Oh my goodness; I can sure feel the effects of the yagya. It is truly amazing. Thank you Ganesha. CC Australia

Dear Ganesha Thank you for organizing guru purnimah navaratri. I am feeling much energy and focus with a sense of freedom. Kind regards S. Melbourne

K. and I really enjoyed the Rudra yagya - it was a very deep and stable experience. She said to tell you that she feels much stronger. Thanks for that. Now we're looking forward to the next Navaratri - what a pleasure to be in a position to be able to this! AS USA

Hi Ganesha, How are you? I wonder where you are? I just wanted to say hello and let you know that post yagya, I am noticing a change. It feels like a shadow has been lifted from me, or a veil, something like that. I do find the Rudrabishek yagyas very strong while they are going on. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to partake in them.... love A. Australia

...yagyas are such an incredible blessing....Not only are we "fore-warned" but we can actually change the outcomes in our favour... Full Text

...I am simply left with a wonderment at the workings of the universe and an overwhelming gratitude for his (Ganesh's) help. Full Text

Can you remember...just how much he was suffering. Then we did the yagya...I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am and how happy and confident he has become. Full Text

Then when he suddenly had all that pain over Christmas I thought well this is it. Then the yagya you did for him seemed to take away the pain... which 'suddenly' one week after the yagya resolved in one day... Full Text

...I do not ever remember feeling as positive and calm as I have since the Yagya has been completed. Full Text

...she and her friend won 1st prize for their section [Years 7 to 10] and then proceeded to also win the Grand prize for the evening, beating the year 10, 11 and 12's... Full Text

...Well only you could believe that on day one of the yagya his solicitor wrote to us offering to settle (after 4 years)... Remarkable. Ganesh this is the conclusion to all of the dramas which began 4 years ago. This is the outcome we have wanted. Full Text

The green light was given to J's new show (after saraswathi yagya) - discussions about giving it the go-ahead had earlier stalled with indications that it would not be commissioned. Production is now underway and all is going smoothly.
2007

Thought you might like to know that J's new show (which we had the (saraswathi) yagya done for in July) has consistently been number one for the last couple of months. Everyone agrees it is punching about its weight. Very cool. All the best 2008 L. NSW, Australia

Hi Ganesh
It was probably the strongest influence I have ever felt in the performance of a yagya. Meaning, I felt immediately when it began every day... Meditations were profound with deep transcending.. a whole new level of experience.
A. South Australia

Dear Ganesh
Things are now much calmer. But it certainly has been a rocky few months.
We did sell the house ... now after all that has happened in the world - the stock market collapse etc - I feel that we were very fortunate, the financial context is much clearer now. All is well.

On the cosmic scale - all is as you predicted. The emotional upheavals have been unrelenting but I felt very supported all along the way - an island of calmness in the midst of the storm. So in brief, it's all on track - all is as it should be. So thanks again. Your advice was wonderful and the yagyas worked. K. NSW, Australia

"What a yagya. I think my whole physiology is changing... I think this must be the best yagya ever...The impacts keep on coming. I can feel the pundits coming and going. It is amazing...Can you book me a place for next year?" PR - Melbourne, Australia

On the days of the yagyas, I devoted myself to saadhana (spiritual practice)- actually I tried to "do" saadhana but could "do" nothing except lie in the saadhana room in a semi-swoon, feeling like I was being "done". The energy was so powerful I was totally unable to function, so I surrendered to it. I suppose this is normal. I hope you are well and everything is shining in your world. K, NSW, Australia

Shree Lalita Devi Laksmi Temple, Allahabad. One of the 51 Shakti Peeths or primary seats of Mother Divine

Since October 2013, we have added a fourth temple to our program: Shree Lalita Devi Laksmi Temple in Allahabad. The city of Allahabad is one of the most holy cities in India. It is here that India's 3 most holy rivers, Ganges, Yamuna and Saraswathi, all converge. It is also the home of the Maha Samadhi or final resting place of His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Shree Lalita Devi Laksmi Temple is considered to be one of the 51 Shakti Peeths or primary seats of Mother Divine

Kalimath - Himalayas

We are delighted to include Kali Math once again in our Navaratri Program. Since the 2013 floods it has not been possible to reach here by road. The roads are open now.
Village of Kalimath surrounded by Kaliganga [Mandaakini] river

Kali Math is an ancient tantric place of learning & experience established by Adhi Shankara - perhaps India's most famous and most illustrious perfected yogi/mystic saint. He is considered to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva and he originated the Shankaracharya Tradition (Guru Dev's lineage). He had such profound experience of Goddess Kali Ma at this place that he established it as Kali Math or Monastery (center of learning and experience). It is widely regarded as a Sidha Peeth and Maha Peeth - meaning a place where one can perfect experience of the sidhis (Sanyama & realization of Patanjali's yoga sutras). It is also held that Swami Ramakrisna did saadhana (spiritual practice) here. (Swami Ramakrisna was a famous mystic/saint of 19th century India). Because this remarkable place readily affords the lively & profound experience of Kali, yagyas performed here deliver profound benefits.


Kali is traditionally invoked first in the durga puja (Navaratri yagya); she is the substrate or primordial ground state in which all of creation finds its resting place. She most fully embodies the wholeness or totality of Divine Mother. She is known as Durga - another name for the wholeness of mother divine. She is associated with Parvathi or Uma: Lord Shiva's consort [wife] and mother of the universe. Kali is worshipped or invoked by those seeking enlightenment or liberation [moksha] as well as by those desiring prosperity and well being in the material world. When wholeness is complete the individual elements are stronger and more effective.
Kalimath, Himalayas. Oct 2005
Kali is often portrayed as wearing a garland of heads. It illustrates her role as bestower of liberation or enlightenment by destroying the ego. The head contains the sense organs and is thereby synonymous with limited self concept or ego. By severing the head with the sword of self knowledge Kali liberates the mind. The awareness expands and is freed from boundaries and self imposed limitations. Her darshan or mode of influence is experienced in the heart and the fullness of awareness. It is a direct experience. It touches us deep inside at the most fundamental level of awareness; it is experiential not conceptual. She is also depicted as standing on or over her consort the sleeping Shiva [the absolute]. She represents the ground state or absolute made lively. In contrast with the sleeping Shiva, Kali arrests the mind. She is proactive and forcibly takes the mind to the absolute. We feel her at the core at of our being.

Kaamakhya Kali Temple, Guwahati, Assam
Number 1 temple of Mother Divine in India

Kaamakhya temple is famed throughout India as the birth place of Kaama Deva, God of Love.
Kaameshwari Devi - the patron Goddess of the temple is held to be an aspect of Kali. This temple is renowned for bestowing the gifts of bhukti (pleasure) and mukti (liberation/enlightenment). It is widely considered as India's greatest centre for Tantric learning & experience. Out of all 51 Shakti Peeths (primary temples of the Divine Mother), Kaamakhya is universally held the most powerful and auspicious: number 1.
Lord Shiva, Lord Narayana & Kaameshwari Devi

For thousands of years, pandits, tantrics and yogis have come to Kaamakhya to attain perfection (siddhis) in the performance of their saadhana (spiritual practice) and yagyas. One of the essential principles of tantric philosophy is that true knowledge is deeper than what our senses perceive: things are not as they appear. From the orthodox perspective, Enlightenment (liberation/mukti) and pleasure (bhukti) are held to be mutually exclusive. However, integration of life is one of the great gifts of Kaamakhya: divine union through the fullness of our humanity.
Guru Purnimah Navaratri 2012 at Kaamakhya
Out of 51 Shakthi Peeths (primary temples of Divine Mother), Kaamakhya is considered the greatest, most powerful & most illustrious. For thousands of years, it has been a mecca to those desirous of attaining perfection in their spiritual practice (saadhana) and in their yagyas. We are fortunate to have good connection with the temple. And we are delighted to be churning this most sublime and powerful influence to enliven it in your life through the navaratri yagya program
