Guru Poornima is the special time of year when we can enhance our connection with the universal principle of the "guru" - one who passes along knowledge and enlightenment and thus greatly speed up our personal journey towards enlightenment.

This month our yagyas will focus on Shiva in the form of Dakshinamurti; the first teacher who passes along knowledge and gives enlightenment, Saraswati who is the embodiment of wisdom and Veda Vyasa, the rishi who organized the Vedas; the source of knowledge.

By enlivening these fundamental principles, we enjoy deeper inner silence, enhanced spiritual power, and as a result, a much great sense of inner and outer abundance. In Jyotish this would be seen as balancing and empowering Jupiter (Guru) - the planet of luck and enlightenment.

For ten days we begin the day with two hours of Vedic recitation. Ganesha puja is performed, followed by Navagraha puja for the 9 planets, the nakshatra of the day, and the deity of the day. Shiva is honored with an extensive abishekam (ritual bathing), as is goddess Saraswati and the rishi Veda Vyasa. The day concludes with the perfomance of homam; the vedic fire ritual.

There are 3 ways to join us; all 10 Days of Guru Yagyas ($51 for the entire family), 3 days of temple yagyas ($21), just the Guru Poornima puja ($11) or all 10 days plus 30 days of daily yagyas ($87). Your choice!
