Maha Rudra and Shivaratri Yagya Series ($75) Feb. 20th - March 2nd
includes Ganesha Day, 11 Day Maha Rudra, Shivaratri night and Ganga Yagyas
and Daily Mrytunjaya yagyas through March 20th

(12 Daily Saturn/Rahu and Jupiter Pujas $22 -- optional)

Our annual series of Shiva/Rudra yagyas begins with a day long Ganesha yagya, followed by the 11 day/11 priest Maha Rudra yagya, multiple yagyas on Shivaratri night, and a soothing Ganga Yagya on the final day, March 2nd. Becasuse of the on-going challenges caused by COVID, we are also including a month of daily Mrytunjaya Yagyas for all participants.

We are also offering optional daily Saturn/Rahu and Jupiter Pujas to the program for $22. Saturn and Rahu are connected causing obstacles and dissatisfaction though April when Rahu changes signs moving into Aries and his direct influence on Saturn ends. Jupiter changes signs in April moving into Pisces where he is stronger and more powerfully protective than he has been for the past few years.

Shivaratri is a wonderful time for yagyas because it is considered to be the time when it is easiest to reach Shiva and to gain his blessings and protection for the following 12 months. Shiva is experienced as deep silence and these yagyas amplify that aspect of our consciousness.

Shivaratri night will include an additional temple yagya as well as the full daytime program in Kanchiuram, plus additional rituals in Varanasi, Pune, and Chidambaram.

This will also mark the completion of our multi-year Ati Rudra Yagya of 14,641 repetitions of the Sri Rudram hymn from Yajur Veda performed primarily in Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu, home to the original Shiva Nataraj (dancing Shiva).
