Sravanna: Month of Shiva | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
According to the Vedic Calendar, the Lunar Month of Sravanna in 2012 runs 3 July - 2 August. This month is sacred to Lord Shiva. Shiva is the supreme abode - the Self: Maha Deva - God of gods. He is our deepest meditation - the eternal witness: our own least excited state of non dual awareness - pure consciousness. The unmanifest source of creation - the home/Unified Field of all the laws of nature; He is the silent, eternal, non changing source of all change and diversity. |

When
that most auspicious level of deep silence becomes lively and dynamic
- it is called Rudra: the redeemer. Rudra is vibrating silence. Rudra
purifies flaws and imperfections by dissolving them back into their
unmanifest state: bringing everything 'home' to rest, back to its state
of least excitation or quiescence or peace. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are 11 Rudras or redemptive aspects of Shiva. Shani (the planet Saturn) is one of them. Of the 9 planets, Shani/Saturn is the teacher of life's lessons, the bringer of karmic retribution. Shani rules grief, obstacles, separation, sorrow, delays, chronic disease, hard work and old age. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This time is particularly important for Saturn as he is about to move into the next sign of Libra/Tula in mid August 2012. Saturn/Sani will remain in Libra for the next 2 years until November 2014. This is an auspicious and effective time perform yagya for Saturn as the effects of this yagya will set a positive direction for the next 2 years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Overcoming Long Term Struggle - Grand Rudra Yagya (Maha Rudraabhishek) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Due
to
the relationship between Shiva, Rudra & Saturn, Grand Rudra Yagya
(Maha Rudraabhishek) is one of the most potent and effective remedies
against the negative effects of Saturn in our life. Grief, long term
problems and disease - situations that won't resolve or move forward
can be radically impacted for the better with proper application of
this remedy. |

Trayambakeshwar Jyotir Lingam in Nasik, Maharashtra is one of the 12 principal seats of Lord Shiva in India. Out of thousands of Shiva temples these 12 'Jyotir' or Self effulgent Lingams (lit from within) occupy a class of their own as the greatest, most celebrated & most powerful centres of Shiva's energy in the world. The lingams (murthis or idols) in these temples are all 'swambhu' or self created - not man made. Some hold Trayambakeshwar to be the first Jyotir Lingam. It is one of the 5 amrit sthanams or most sacred places in India; Kumbha Mela is held here. It is also mentioned in the Vedic literature. Yagyas and pujas have been performed here for thousands of years. More important, the experience of Lord Shiva's presence or darshan in these temples is unparalleled. For this reason millions of devotees come from far and wide each year to bathe in that experience of wholeness and peace which surpasses the understanding. And as a result of the profound presence of Lord Shiva at these Jyotir Lingams, yagyas performed here deliver maximum benefits. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Testimonials |
...yagyas are such an incredible blessing....Not only are we "fore-warned" but we can actually change the outcomes in our favor..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?"
