Saraswathi Puja Navaratri 21-28 January 2015

The Grand Festival of Maha Saraswathi for 2015 runs from January 22-28. Saraswathi embodies “Gyana Akasha” or all pervading knowingness. She presides over all expressions of knowledge: pure and applied. She governs music, the arts, speech, writing & all aspects of learning and creative endeavor. Traditionally, she is worshipped or invoked by those seeking success in artistic endeavor, study, sciences & research, along with those seeking success in their career. She is also worshipped by those seeking the pure knowledge of Enlightenment.

T
aking part in Saraswathi Puja Navaratri yagya festival, your inner & outer life is infused with Shakthi or nature's organizing power. This generates a powerful momentum for progress and success on all levels: happiness, fulfillment, success in creative endeavors, studies, career & saadhana (spiritual endeavor). Maha Saraswathi will bless your life. This wave of wholeness rolls through you, your family, your community & the world nourishing all beings at every level of creation.


Navaratri (nava = 9; ratri = night) or 9 nights of Mother Divine is the time for cleansing and purification and evolution throughout the whole of nature. This is 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.

 
There are 4 Navaratris each year [also known as the 9 days/nights of Mother Divine]. The coming Navaratri is dedicated to Maha Saraswati - the aspect of Divine Mother governing knowledge, intelligence, creativity & profession. Saraswati Puja - the Grand Day of Maha Saraswati happens on the 5th day of the festival: Saturday 24 January.

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.

Testimonials

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 ... ... ... it is so interesting and fast changing that it is almost impossible to stay in control of it..... .....it is spinning and unfolding in an amazing speed. The yagya itself was very powerful. Interestingly I am more aware of the afternoon sessions.... ... ... if I don't watch the time and am busy doing something like grocery shopping suddenly I realize that I feel different, like feeling dizzy or far away , I have to go home since the feeling gets stronger and stronger...

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 started cleaning and clearing his house, 4 strong man where carrying a whole day stuff and clutter out of the house . We ended up with 19 cubic meters of junk !!!!

Last sunday we had a family event in C's family ... ... my sister in law had ordered 6 pieces of my artwork, well I took about 20 pieces with me ... and guess what ... .... ....at the end of the weekend every bit was sold !!!! Also my other sister in law helped me to set up a website,what I wanted to do for ages .... .......

Today I got my tax done , had two important calls with an insurance and telephone company, which where difficult to deal with for month,, 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

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

 
 
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
