Shardiya (fall) Navaratri is the invocation and celebration of Mother Divine, one of the most important observations in the Himalayan Yoga tradition. She, Shakti “… by whom this whole world, whole universe is upheld and sustained…” ~Swami Veda.
Join Emilio at The Meditation Center on the first night of the waxing moon on Thursday, October 3rd, at 7:00 p.m. in the Hall of the Tradition. The Satsang will be in person and on Zoom to celebrate the opening of the nine nights of Navaratri with a guided puja. This will be followed by Swami Veda’s audio recording of Lalita Sahasranama, the Thousand Names of Lalita.
You are also invited to join us for eight additional evenings at 8:00 p.m. to hear the audio recording of Lalita Sahasranama by Swami Veda. This special recording is a contemplation and meditation in itself; each of the thousand names of Mother Divine is a mantra and Swami Veda’s recitation is a wonderful experience of creative dynamic energy.
The final and ninth evening will be on Friday, October 11th at 7:00 PM when the Lalita Sahasranama audio file will be played first, followed by the puja to close the observance. Again, this will be held in the Hall of the Tradition and will be in person and via Zoom.
All nine sessions will be zoomed; the first and final sessions on October 3rd and the 11th will be in person and on zoom.
The Durga mantra that will be chanted during the pujas is the “Sarva Mangala“ mantra.
