Rig, Yajur, and Sama Veda Yagyas

Advancing toward enlightenment
Includes 100 priest Chandi Yagya (7/24)

Friday, July 18 to 27
($75 total, includes family)

The Vedas are the ancient source of spiritual wisdom, revealing the secrets of mantras and yagyas—sacred rituals that bring balance, protection, and growth in every area of life. Our upcoming yagya program offers the rare blessing of a full recitation of the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, and Sama Veda. This powerful practice allows us to receive the spiritual benefits of every mantra and ritual contained in these timeless texts, supporting both our worldly success and inner awakening.

The Rig Veda, dating back as early as 1500 BCE, is the oldest of the Vedas, filled with over 10,000 hymns praising divine forces and revealing eternal truths. The Yajur Veda, from around 1000 BCE, is a practical guide for performing sacred rituals, including powerful ceremonies like the Soma Yagya for spiritual upliftment, Agni Hotra for purification, and rituals honoring our ancestors and seeking overall prosperity. It also contains significant hymns such as the Rudram, Chamakam, Mrytunjaya, and Gayatri Mantras, each holding deep spiritual power.

The Sama Veda is known as the Veda of devotion. It sets verses from the Rig Veda to special melodies and rhythms designed to open the heart and deepen our connection to the divine within. Its musical chants create an atmosphere of peace and help expand our consciousness toward higher spiritual realization.

This yagya will unfold over ten days, with morning and evening recitations performed according to the Rudra Abhishekam ritual. Such an extensive recitation of all three Vedas is very rare, requiring priests of great skill and dedication. By participating in this yagya, we not only gain blessings for health, spiritual growth, and success in life, but also help preserve this sacred knowledge for future generations, keeping alive the divine light of the Vedas for the benefit of all humanity.

Chandi Path with 100 Priests on July 24

Chandi Path, also known as the Durga Saptashati or Devi Mahatmyam, is an ancient Sanskrit scripture consisting of 700 verses in praise of the Divine Mother Durga. Drawn from the Markandeya Purana, it describes the Goddess’s battles against powerful demons that symbolize deep inner and outer negativity. Reciting the Chandi Path is believed to invoke the fierce, protective, and compassionate energy of the Goddess, bringing about the removal of obstacles, destruction of negativity, and the granting of strength, clarity, and spiritual liberation.
