Navaratri Festival - Saraswati Puja 3

With Swami Sivasankariananda IN PERSON OR ONLINEOnline participants will receive a Zoom link in advance of the puja. Saraswati is the goddess of creation--through knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning. The earliest known mention of Saraswati as a goddess is in the Rig Veda. This is the ninth night of an extremely auspicious nine-night festival in Her honor. A puja is being celebrated each night at the Los Angeles Center: three for Durga, three for Lakshmi and three for Saraswati. To make it the best experience possible, we invite you to:• bring the energy of the Ashram to your home, by setting up a simple altar, if you don't already have one. • prepare prasad for each puja you attend. We will share recipes via email on request.• offer flower petals with us.• email us a specific intention you would like included as we make the sankalpa for each puja.• send photos of your instruments of karma (by mail or email) in advance to be blessed at the final puja, on Vijay Dasami.
