Purify, revitalize and realign your life - realize your highest goals and aspirations.
Navaratri or 9 nights of Mother Divine is the time for cleansing and growth. During this window, the wholeness of life rises to purge the lower, fragmented, imperfect values of natural law. In Vedic mythology, it is depicted as the time when Shakthi (quintessential universal power), champion of the gods, is victorious over demons (lower, fragmented forces of nature). It is a time for light to triumph over darkness. The river floods and stagnant pools are swept away. It's an opportunity to purify, revitalize and realign our lives: to get back on track - to realize our goals and aspirations.

 
When you participate in Saraswathi Navaratri yagya festival.... Artistic expression, creative endeavor, career, vocation, dharma and life purpose - all are enlivened and progressed. Your life is infused with Shakti or nature's organizing power. This generates a powerful momentum for progress & fulfillment on all levels of life: inner and outer - happiness, fulfillment, material affluence, harmonious relationships and career success. This wave of wholeness rolls through your life, your family, your community and the world nourishing all beings on every level of creation.

Harnessing nature's momentum through yagya 
Navaratri is known as 'Durga Puja': 9 nights invoking or celebrating Durga: Divine Mother -the wholeness or collectedness of God's feminine aspects. Yagyas are traditionally performed during this time to harness the momentum of this highly auspicious window of opportunity. Navaratri or Durga puja yagyas serve to direct the lively flow of nature's intelligence and organizing power into our daily lives to safeguard and enhance our progress and evolution and to achieve specific goals.
