Divali (also known as Diwali or Deepavali) is a traditional festival of light which is usually celebrated by lighting lots of diyas (oil lamps) to celebrate the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It also celebrates the return of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana after their 14 year exile and the victory over the demon Ravana. It is a time when Lakshmi is most easily reached, and welcomed into the lives of her devotees.

It is a perfect time for a special series of Lakshmi yagyas which will be performed continuously in Kanchipuram, Varanasi and the US.

Skanda Shasti is the festival that celebrates the defeat of the demon Taraka by Skanda (also known as Subramanya or Murugan), who is the son of Shiva and brother of Ganesha. He is the embodiment of the dynamic cheerful energy of Mars and considered to be the Celestial General. Yagyas that are performed as a part of this festival help to balance Mars energies in our Jyotish chart, and greatly add to our personal power and ability to experience and enjoy the divine in daily life.
