2010 Vasant (Spring) Navaratri yagya celebration: March 16 - 24.
Maha Kali, Maha Laksmi & Maha Saraswathi. 13 Pandits performing yagya in 3 celebrated temples for 9 days:
New Temple: Kali Ghat temple near Calcutta. Mansa Devi Laksmi temple in Haridwar, Uttaranchal. Sarada Devi Saraswathi temple in Maihar, Madhya Pradesh

According to the vedic calendar, March 16 - 24 marks the Vasant or Spring (northern hemisphere) Navaratri festival . This celebration of the 9 nights of the Divine Mother culminates in Raam Navami (the appearance day of Lord Raam) on March 24. This is the second most powerful navaratri after the Maha Navaratri or grand festival of Mother Divine occurring October/November each year.

There are 4 Navaratris each year [also known as the 9 days/nights of Mother Divine]. This coming Navaratri [9 nights of MD] is dedicated to Lord Raam or Raam Raj, Vishnu avatar. Subject of the literary epic Ramayana, Raam is one of the great incarnations of God. He took birth to vanquish the demon Ravana and restore dharma: balance in natural law. His life was a shining example of the highest, most noble principles and ethics lived in the day to day world. Raam is an aspect of Maha Vishnu - the principle of maintenance, so vasant navaratri is an excellent time to cultivate and enliven the principal of maintenance in our life: the ideal time to strengthen the value of action in accord with natural law. Accordingly, this is an auspicious time to perform yagyas for career & study & to promote harmony in relationship. On the planetary level, Vasant Navaratri is a highly effective time to perform yagya for Budha [Mercury] and Guru [Jupiter]


New Temple Kali Ghat Calcutta- Grand temple of Maha Kali
One of 51 Shakthi Peeths or primary seats of Mother Divine
For this Vasanth Navaratri, along with our regular Laksmi & Saraswathi temples, for the first time we will transport pandits to Kali Ghat near Calcutta: probably the most renown and powerful Kali temple in the whole of India. I recently spent 7 days there and was profoundly impressed by the consistent quality and richness of experience. With transcendence so lively and accessible, yagyas performed here deliver the most excellent results.
Kali is depicted wearing a garland of human heads. This illustrates here 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.

Thought you might like to know that J's new show (which we had the 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

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.

...Well only you could believe that on day one of the yagya his solicitor wrote to us offering to settle (after 4 years).
This week our accountants have cut a deal with the other side which finalizes the matter. We are now in the process of getting the legal paper work finalized (which has happened without a glitch). Remarkable.

Ganesh this is the conclusion to all of the dramas which began 4 years ago. This is the outcome we have wanted. The paper work has been finalized. So thank you and for your insights into how best to complete this assignment. Also please
thank the Pundits involved.
Remarkable shift.

"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?"

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.

...So, I have had some good things to report since the yagya, I have been given a new position at last. It's a promotion with pay increase but the best part is I am back in a department I started from. Only now I'm the manager. The entrance has a sunny aspect, the floor is about to undergo refurbishment so will end up being fabulous ,sleek and contemporary.
The overall outcome for me personally is like coming home with more power. It is also challenging and exciting as it is a much more complex floor. There is less day to day drama and stress and it is more interesting.
At the same time it is not nearly as physically demanding but has more scope to use my creative visual skills. I feel happier at work than I have for ages. While I'm inspired looking forward to new projects, the situation is more balanced.
So on all levels I am very happy about the changes. Thank you and please thank the pundits for me

Regarding this latest yagya, the results were immediate, ongoing, astounding and dramatic. Obstacles and threats to the well being of all my family members seemed to be removed overnight and have continued to dissipate throughout succeeding days & weeks.

Navaratri/9 nights of Mother Divine
Durga slaying Mahishaasura the buffalo demon
Navaratri [nava = 9 ratri = night] or 9 nights of mother divine is a time of cleansing and purification and evolution throughout nature. It is a time when the tide of Sattva or coherence or wholeness of life rises to purge the 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. It is a time for light to triumph over darkness.

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 intelligence into our daily life in order to safe guard and enhance our progress & evolution and also to achieve specific goals. testimonials
