Vasant/Spring Navaratri yagya festival: March 23 - April 1 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There
are 4 Navaratris each year [also known as the 9 days/nights
of Mother Divine]. The coming Navaratri [March 23 - April 1] is dedicated
to Lord Raama or Raam Raj, Vishnu avatar. Hero of the Ramayana, Raama
is one of the great incarnations of God (Avatars). He took birth in
order to destroy the demon Ravana and restore dharma or life in accord
with natural law. His life was a perfect example of the most noble principles
and ethics lived on a daily basis. Raama 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 (support)
in our lives. It is the ideal time to strengthen the value of action
in accord with natural law. Accordingly, this is a highly auspicious
time to perform yagyas for career & study & to promote harmony
in relationships. On the planetary level, Vasant Navaratri is a highly
effective time to perform yagya for Budha [Mercury] and Guru [Jupiter] |

Kaamakhya
temple, Guwahati, Assam #1 Goddess Temple & Centre for tantric learning & experience 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. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. |

their yagyas. We
are fortunate to have good connection with the temple administrators.

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. |

Testimonials |
...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. 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. Hi Ganesh "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?"
