September Yagya Series; Eleven Days of Ganesha and Lakshmi Yagyas

September 9 - 19, 2012

Ganesha is the vedic deity who removes obstacles and smooths our path through life as we progress towards greater prosperity and enlightenment. Traditionally, Ganesha is always invoked at the beginning of every puja and yagya. He is known as "Vighneshwara", the one who removes all obstacles . He assures the success of the yagyas and the delivery of the results to the participants.

Every year at this time, there is a special celebration for Ganesha called Vinayaka Chaturthi. This annual yagya celebrates his birthday and marks the day that Shiva declared that Ganesha would be mentioned first in any puja or yagya ritual.

Lakshmi is more than money; she is abundance in all forms, family, wealth, happiness and enlightenment. The Rig Veda contains the asupicious and revered Sri Suktam; the primary long form mantra for Lakshmi and our pundits will focus on this mantra throughout the yagya series.

This month our pundits will begin with Veda recitation, and then repeat Sri Suktam a total of 1008 times over the course of the 10 day Lakshmi yagya, culminating in the Pavamana Soma and 2 days of Lakshmi temple abishekam yagyas in Kanchipuram.

The 1008 names of Lakshmi, which will be used in the daily yagya are here. Some Lakshmi mantras are here.
