At the present time, we are experiencing the tumolt that usually accompanies the movement of the major planets into new signs. In addition we are experiencing the effects of a partial Solar eclipse followed by a total Lunar Eclipse on May 16th.

Our May yagyas will focus on health and protection with a yagya for a dfferent aspect of the Vedic tradition on each of the 10 days, plus daily Mrytunjaya yagyas through the start of our next series in May.

1. Ganesha to remove obstacles where they hinder us and to create them when they protect us
2. Mrytunjaya - the healing mantra associated with Shiva
3. Dhanvantri - the form of Vishnu as Divine Physician
4. Vedic hymns like Ayush Suktam (long life) and Pavamana Soma (strength)
5. Ashwins - the gods of Ayurveda
6. Mariamam - the form of Durga who cures disease
7. Hanuman - for strength
8. Santana Lakshmi - protects the health of children and families
9. Veera Lakshmi - brings courage to face difficult obstacles
10. Vijaya Lakshmi - who brings victory

Each morning our priests will perform our daily Rudra Abishekam followed by a the yagya of the day as listed above. The entire yagya performance will take about 5 hours each day.

These rituals generate protective shakti (power) which will help to keep us safe and protected during these difficult times. Are yagyas a cure for COVID-19? No. But our experience over the years has been that the yagyas can help bend circumstances in our favor particularly where health is concerned.
