Hanuman is one of the great heroes of the Ramayana; the divine monkey, son of the wind, who helps Rama rescue his wife Sita, defeats the demon Ravana and his army, and destroys Lanka. As such, his yagyas bring the qualities of strength, power, devotion to a higher reality, and support of dharma (natural law).

Hanuman and Subramanya are complimentary energies which represent the power of Mars and Jupiter. Subramanya is the son of Shiva and Parvati and brother to Ganesha. He is considered to be the Divine General who is in command of the army of the gods. As such, he is the embodiment of the planet Mars who offers energy, optimism, and endurance.

Manyu Suktam is an ideal partner to the Hanuman yagyas. This mantra comes from the Rig Veda, 10th manala and consists of 14 verses that invoke Rudra (Shiva) to eliminate enemies, obstacles, and purify bad karmas and ill health. The text reads in part:

Come here Manyu, mightier than the mighty; chase away our enemy... bring to us all kinds of wealth and treasure. I may be small and weak, O Manyu come to me and give me vigour.

O Conquerer, born with power and a destructive bolt of thunder, the highest conquering might is yours...Unyielding bring victory like Indra, O Manyu...give us the wealth of both sides gathered and collected; And let our enemies with stricken spirits, overwhelmed with terror, creep away and be defeated.

Included are Daily Jupiter Yagyas through December 9th
Lunar Eclipse Yagya on November 18th
Solar Eclipse Yagya on December 4th

November is a busy month astrologically. Most importantly Jupiter will move into Aquarius for the next 12 months. For the past year, Jupiter has been in Capricorn where he is debilitated and unable to fully express his energies. By nature, Jupiter is expansive and protective. These 30 days of yagyas will balance and increase Jupiter's influence in your chart/life and thus maximize his positive influence.

Eclipses are an ideal time for mantras and yagyas. According to vedic traditions, the power of these rituals is increased many many times during an eclipse. We will have special yagyas for both the lunar eclipse on 11/18 and the solar eclipse on 12/4
